interjection
Expressing mild emotion, such as exasperation or frustration.
“Lordy! Where's he off to now?”
LORDY is a 5-letter word with 1 vowel (O) and 4 consonants (L, R, D, Y). Every letter is distinct, so it rarely punishes a clean opening guess.
It leans on high-frequency letters (O, R), so a strong vowel-and-common-consonant opener tends to light up quickly. There are no rare letters here, so it is a fair, mid-difficulty answer for the daily Classic puzzle.
