This one was a bit odd. I didn’t realize I’d slashed out every option but one on my third guess. Turns out, I’d cleared the room. Only stash remained. I just wasn’t smart enough to realize!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “stash” comes from the English slang term, originating in the late 18th century, meaning to hide or store something away. Its etymology can be traced back to the verb “stachelen” or “stacheln,” found in German dialects, meaning to stash or to hide. This term itself is thought to have roots in the Middle Low German “stacheln,” which means to fasten or to emboss, related to the action of hiding or securing something.
Over time, “stash” has evolved to refer to a place where items are hidden or stored, and more broadly, to the items themselves that are being hidden or stored. It is commonly used in both legal and illicit contexts, such as storing valuables or hiding contraband.
