EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is for Wordle answer #586; the January 27th Wordle answer is available now.

January 26th’s Wordle answer might be slightly difficult to solve as it features a double letter in the middle. What makes this more complicated is that the repeating letter is also a vowel, making it even harder to solve using regular starting words. Wordle doesn’t really do a great job of letting players know if a letter is being repeated, which can cause many players to waste their attempts on random guesses. To prevent this situation, players are advised to use Wordle’s alternate mode to maintain their daily streak.

Since today’s answer has a repeating vowel, players will need to use words that are out of their comfort zone. However, if players still find themselves stuck, they might want to use some relevant hints.
