What is the Wordle answer for today, December 26?
The Wordle answer for today (December 26) is AFFIX.
As a verb, the word affix means to attach or add one thing to another. It can be something physical. For instance, placing a stamp on a letter. It can also mean adding a letter or a group of letters at the beginning, middle, or end of a letter to give it a new meaning. There are three main types: prefixes, infixes, and suffixes. Prefixes go at the start of a word, infixes go in the middle, and suffixes at the end.
Today’s word is relatively hard due to the presence of a recurring consecutive consonant. However, once a player discovers what that recurring letter is, the search for the right word becomes somewhat straightforward.
