The answer to today’s Wordle is “FINCH”.

The word “Finch” is a noun which refers to a family of songbirds. There are hundreds of different species in the family of Fringillidae, which are considered true finches. However, most countries have a limited number of species native to their shores. Common species include the goldfinch, chaffinch, and crossbill.

According tothe Online Etymology Dictionary, the origin of “Finch” is the Old English word “finc”. It also appears in German and Dutch as “vink” and “vinke,” with speculation that the name in all languages is imitative of the bird’s call. Over time, different names have been assigned to particular species based on their characteristics, among other things.
