Today’s Wordle answer

PLANE

Why “plane” fits

“Plane” satisfies all the constraints: it begins with P, ends with E, contains two vowels (A, E), and uses five distinct letters. It also lines up with the meaning-based hints. As a noun, it’s an airplane or a flat surface; as a verb, it’s to glide or to make something level; as an adjective, it can describe something flat or level.

Etymology note: the geometric sense traces back to Latin “planus,” meaning flat or level, which also gave rise to related words like “plain” and “plan.”

Strategy snapshot for #1569

Many opening words quickly funnel you into the common PLA– cluster. From there, a typical fork is between PLACE, PLATE, and PLANE. With no repeated letters and the final letter E confirmed by many standard paths, targeting the fourth position is decisive: testing N vs. C vs. T resolves the trio without burning extra guesses.

How Wordle scoring feedback works

  • Green: right letter, right spot.
  • Yellow: right letter, wrong spot.
  • Gray: letter not in the answer.

Use early guesses to cover common consonants and at least two vowels to maximize information. On days like today—with no duplicates—each gray eliminates a lot of dead ends, and each yellow/green helps settle the PLA– branch quickly.

What “plane” means in use

  • Noun (travel): an airplane.
  • Noun (geometry): a flat, two‑dimensional surface.
  • Noun (contextual): a level or realm (e.g., “on another plane”).
  • Verb: to make smooth/level, or to glide.
  • Adjective: flat or level.

The multiple senses explain why it showed up as both a vocabulary and pattern match today—common letters, familiar shapes, and broadly used meanings.
