DUSKYadjective
Having a dark or shadowy appearance; somewhat dark in color or complexion.

Was this a hard one?
DUSKY can trip up Wordle players because the uncommon consonant cluster 'SK' in the middle is easy to overlook when guessing common patterns. The letter 'U' in the second position is also less intuitive, and players may confuse it with similar words like DUSTY or HUSKY.
