Think of taking something by force: pulling a possession out of someone's hands, or seizing control of something from a rival.
There is only one vowel, E, and it sits right in the middle. No letter repeats.
It is a verb, and it is the root of a sport: add -LE to the end and you get the verb for grappling in a ring.
It starts with W, and that W is silent.
It ends with T: W, then R, then the E in the middle, then S, then T.
The answer
This is the full solution to Wordle #1,949. Only tap if you are ready.
WREST: to take something by force, twisting it out of someone's grip. The silent W hides it from most starting words, and the -EST ending invites wrong turns like CHEST and CREST.
