Why it could be tricky
The pattern _IDER also fits CIDER, EIDER and RIDER. With I, D, E and R in place, only one spot is left to settle, and each wrong try rules out one word at a time. A guess that tests several of those letters at once can settle it sooner.
What it means
wider adjective · Having greater width or extending farther from side to side.
Editor's note
A closer look at WIDER
WIDER is the comparative form of WIDE. Its -ER ending expresses comparison; it is not a person or tool noun. The five letters are all different.
What one guess would tell you
CRANE against WIDER would produce the colors shown above. Green means the correct letter and spot; yellow means a letter elsewhere in the word; gray means no unused copy of that letter remains. This is a calculated example, not a recorded player's guess.
