Today's Wordle answer July 6

Today's Wordle answer is: FLUFF.

Today's word is a very friendly one. Fluff - a clump of hair or other fibrous material. You'll often find lots of fluff around our house thanks to our two cats, one of whom sheds hair like nobody's business, and the other of whom eats it all up and then later vomits it back out onto the floor in the dead of night while nobody's around. Ah, cats.

Congratulations or commiserations depending on whether you got today's Wordle answer or not. Either way, try to refrain from spoiling the answer now that you know it, because it just ruins the fun of anyone who has yet to play Wordle today. So don't do it. Or I'll send my cats to shed hair and vomit all over you in the dead of night.
