Today’s Wordle answer (#1568)

RELAY

Meaning: to receive and pass on something — a message, signal, or item — or the team race where runners hand off a baton.

Quick approach for today

  • Open with a vowel-heavy starter to pick up E/A quickly.
  • Once you see R- - -Y framing, test common middle patterns like REL-.
  • With no duplicates, avoid burning guesses on repeated letters; cover new consonants instead.
