Today's Wordle answer July 15

Today's Wordle answer is: WEDGE.

Wedge is the first name of Wedge Antilles, a rebel pilot in Star Wars: A New Hope. For everyone else, it's both a sloping ramp-like shape and the action you can use with said shape to prop open something or push between two things. For instance, you can wedge open a door by shoving one of these shapes underneath it to stop it closing. Or, in a more abstract sense, you could drive a wedge between two people.

Coincidentally, you'll have to be careful you don't unwittingly drive a wedge between yourself and your friends by spoiling today's Wordle answer before they've had the chance to play through today's puzzle for themselves. So don't go spreading this information around until everyone's had a go!
