Why It Was Tricky
NEWLY is easy to understand but slightly awkward as a Wordle answer because it depends on recognizing the full adverb form. Many players may reach the root word NEW first, then need an extra step to see that the answer continues into a common -LY ending.
This kind of solve rewards checking whether a familiar short word has been extended into a complete modifier. Once the opening NEW is visible, the real decision is whether the puzzle wants the plain adjective or the adverb built from it.
