SPINYadjective
Having or covered with sharp projecting points or spines; thorny or prickly.
She carefully avoided the spiny cactus as she walked through the desert garden.
Was this a hard one?
SPINY can trip up Wordle players because the Y at the end is easy to overlook when guessing common five-letter patterns, and the SP- opening blend narrows options in ways players may not anticipate. It also shares letters with more common words like SPINE and SPINY, leading players to cycle through similar guesses without landing on the right combination.
