Wordle 552 leaves players confused with an uncommon medical word; Know details here

Wordle players were completely taken aback by yet another tricky five-letter word when the New York Times challenged them to solve an unfamiliar word.

This is not the first-time players have been thrown a curveball, as words like “leery, coyly, quart, and agape” have irritated fans in the past. However, the December 23 challenge was particularly difficult for Wordle users.

'Aorta' was the answer to the Wordle challenge on December 23. Players who struggled to complete this challenge took to social media to complain about the difficulty level of the game.


One of the wordle users said he had never heard of this word before. He felt he could not get hold of anything over this wordle.

Another user reflected that today’s wordle was terrible. He said that NYT is just making up words.

Even those who did solve the puzzle were frustrated and insisted on not knowing what this word meant. Many said they were not familiar with this term and received assistance from their friends. The term is not used frequently in everyday speech and appears more frequently in medical documentaries and television shows. So, what exactly does the term mean?



The Oxford dictionary defines aorta as a noun that means, “the main artery of the body, supplying oxygenated blood to the circulatory system. In humans, it flows from the left ventricle over the heart and down in front of the backbone.” The aorta is the body's largest artery, and it aids the heart in pumping blood from the left ventricle to the aortic valve.

While many people have heard of it, it is not a common word in ordinary conversation unless one works in the medical field.
