MOGULnoun
A powerful or influential person, or a bump or mound of hard snow on a ski slope.
The media mogul acquired three more television networks before retiring from the industry.
Was this a hard one?
MOGUL trips up Wordle players because the uncommon vowel pairing O-U in positions 2 and 4 is easy to overlook, and the letter G sandwiched in the middle is not among the most frequently guessed consonants. Players often exhaust guesses chasing more common vowel patterns before landing on this arrangement.
