Today's Wordle answer July 16

Today's Wordle answer is: ROOMY.

This one's fairly self-explanatory: a roomy room is a room with lots of room in it. Sorry, I couldn't resist the opportunity for a recursive defintion. But really, something that's roomy just has plenty of extra space for you to move around in. A roomy house doesn't have too much furniture crammed into it. You might want to wear your roomy jeans when visiting your grandma for dinner (because you know she's going to spoil you). And so on! Now that you're all clued in, be sure to keep your knowledge to yourself until tomorrow so everyone else can have a go too.
