Today’s Wordle Answer November 2nd
The Wordle answer today is inept.
In the 1600s, the word inept came into English from the Middle French word “inepte”, which was derived from the Latin word, “ineptus”.
This Latin word is a conjunction of “in-” meaning “not” and “aptus” as in the English “apt” meaning suitable. Therefore, you can read inept as meaning literally “not suitable” for a situation.
