If you’re still having trouble, fret not, because we’re here to play spoiler — the answer for today’s Wordle puzzle (#550 — December 20, 2022) is lunar. We most frequently associate this word with the moon, considering the word exclusively pertains to all matters of our beloved space rock.
Lunar is an English language adjective derived from the Latin noun root word “luna,” which literally means “moon,” later extended to “lunaris” to mean “of the moon.” According to EtymOnline, in the early 15th century, the word was used to describe something “crescent-shaped,” which is true for most, but not all, of the moon’s visible phases.
You’ll most commonly hear this word when discussing the moon landings of old (and all the various conspiracies surrounding it). It also pertains to calendrical systems, with most early and ancient civilizations using the moon as a way to track the days and seasons thanks to its predictable, but imperfect cycles. Many cultures and individuals today still practice following the lunar calendar over the now-standard Gregorian variety, according to Britannica, as evidenced by the many moon calendar apps you can download on your smartphone.
