SHADYadjective
Situated in or full of shade; or, of a person or activity, of questionable honesty or legality; suspicious.
They found a shady spot under the oak tree to enjoy their picnic away from the afternoon sun.
Was this a hard one?
SHADY can trip up Wordle players because of its less common letter combination "SH" at the start and the ending "-ADY" pattern, which may lead solvers to overlook it in favor of more obvious guesses; the "Y" as a vowel substitute at the end also adds a layer of difficulty.
