Players should always try to find the meaning of a Wordle puzzle first before trying to make random guesses, as having this definition with them can eliminate quite a lot of potential attempts that may not even yield useful hints. When used properly, these definitions can help players zero in on the puzzle solution much more efficiently.

The word in question pertains to the piece of clothing primarily used in the covering of hands to protect them against dirt and cold, with the clothing primarily having coverings for each finger and the thumb.
