I’m not really sure why BRINE popped into my head but it sounded like a good opening word and it was! With a surprising BR in green, I decided to guess mostly new letters. I actually accidentally picked a second guess that also had an ‘R’ in it, but no matter. It slashed out every word but one: BROAD for the win! Huzzah!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word broad comes from Old English brād, meaning “wide” or “spacious.” It originates from Proto-Germanic brēduz and Proto-Indo-European bherə-, meaning “to spread” or “stretch.” Over time, it retained its core meaning of width and expanded to describe things of extensive scope.
