Today’s answer to Wordle on May 21

Wordle’s answer today is scrap.

We hope that solving this puzzle did not leave you feeling too stupid.

In addition to a word about recyclable garbage, scrap can also be used to describe battle.

The etymology of the word scrap is actually really interesting, and both uses probably come from the word “scraping”.

The meaning of scrap for a small part of something or a remnant comes from the Old Norse language, while the meaning of battle appeared much later in the 17th century.
