The answer to today’s Wordle answer (#641 – March 22, 2023) is “duvet.” Per Etymonline, it’s the term for a quilt or comforter stuffed with “down,” which is the word for the soft, first feathers of baby birds that’s also used for stuffing pillows and beds.
According to the same source, “duvet” is of French origin: from a word of the same spelling which was earlier spelt “dumet,” a diminutive of “dum,” meaning “down” — which is itself from Old Norse “dunn” of uncertain origin.
It took four guesses to solve the puzzle today — we had better luck with yesterday’s Wordle, which we solved in two tries. We went with “cloth” as our starting word, and then followed with “patsy” and “trend.” There were four other possible answers apart from “duvet,” so it’s still a little lucky that we guessed it correctly on the fourth try. We hope you have better luck.
