CHIDEverb
To scold or rebuke someone mildly for a fault or wrongdoing.
She would gently chide her students when they forgot to complete their homework.
Was this a hard one?
CHIDE can trip up Wordle players because the CH consonant blend at the start is less common than single-consonant openers, and the silent E ending may lead solvers to overlook it as a candidate. Players unfamiliar with this somewhat archaic verb may simply not think of it as a word.
