WAKENverb
To cause someone or something to stop sleeping; to rouse from sleep or a dormant state.
The sound of thunder was enough to waken the entire household in the middle of the night.
Was this a hard one?
WAKEN can be tricky for Wordle players because it is a less common synonym of "wake" or "awaken," making it easy to overlook. Players may also struggle with the uncommon W starting letter and the EN ending, which can lead them down more familiar paths like AWAKEN or WOKEN.
