Today’s Wordle Answer June 1st

The Wordle answer today is creak.

As mentioned above, creak is an example of an onomatopoeia. This means its origins – which come from Middle and Old English – are literally from people imitating the real life sound and it eventually becoming a discrete word in itself.

It has nothing to do with the origins of the similar, common word, “creek” which apparently came into English via Old Norse. This is an example of a homophone, where two words sound the same but have completely different meanings and etymology.
