For some reason, I always make the assumption that the New York Times Wordle answer has two vowels and no repeated letters, and that it begins with a consonant. This is not how the puzzle-makers work. There are plenty of words that begin with vowels, have only one vowel or three or more vowels, and repeated letters are of course a regular element. Today, there are a lot of consonants, but the word isn't unfamiliar, so it might not be difficult for many people. If you need hints and answers, read on.
