UMBRAnoun
The fully shaded inner region of a shadow cast by an opaque object, especially the darkest part of a solar eclipse shadow where the sun is completely obscured.
Observers standing in the umbra of the moon's shadow experienced total darkness during the eclipse.
Was this a hard one?
UMBRA trips up Wordle players because the uncommon starting combination 'UM' is rarely guessed early, and the letter 'U' not in the first position is an easy assumption to make. The word also lacks any of the most common Wordle letters like E, A in expected positions, or S, making it hard to uncover through typical opening guesses.
