In rugby, a scrum is a set formation in which forwards come together to contest possession of the ball. The word can also describe a brief, disorderly struggle or crowd. Narcity attributes these definitions to Merriam-Webster.
How to use Wordle’s feedback
Wordle gives you six attempts to guess a five-letter word. After each guess, the color feedback indicates which letters are in the correct position, which are in the answer but elsewhere, and which are absent. Use that information to narrow your next guess.
