Today’s Wordle Answer May 31st

The Wordle answer today is manor.

Meaning stately home and not to be confused with minding one’s manners, the word manor apparently came into English from Latin and Anglo-Norman French, which isn’t surprising given the kind of houses William the Conqueror probably lived in post-1066.

Originally referring to a dwelling in general, manor has come to pretty much exclusively mean a big fancy house. This is an example of the linguistic phenomenon called Semantic Narrowing, where the meaning of a word gets more specific over time.

While the word is primarily used in the UK given its origins, some manor houses did make it over to the eastern United States. So you might have heard of them from there, but it’s more likely you’ve seen one in aristocratic British cultural exports like Pride and Prejudice or Bridgerton.

That’s one puzzle done for the day, but try out these Wordle alternatives.
