Today’s Wordle is one of those satisfying “one clean fit” puzzles: the letters behave, there are no repeats, and you get a clear constraint path. If you like working backward from the first and last letters, this one should feel pretty doable.
Hints
Hint 1: Repeats — There are no repeated letters in the answer. Treat each character as unique, and don’t waste guesses repeating something you’ve already tested.
Hint 2: Vowels — The word has two vowels. Once you identify one vowel, your second will quickly narrow the rest of the arrangement.
Hint 3: First letter — The answer starts with O.
Hint 4: Last letter — The word ends with T.
Hint 5: Meaning — It’s a regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another. (Think physics and astronomy, not everyday motion.)
If you’re also juggling Connections today, keep the same approach in mind: lock in the “shape” of the answer early, then test combinations instead of brute-forcing.

For a quick solving tip: when a puzzle gives you a first letter and a last letter, you can often “see” the remaining consonant/vowel structure before you even fill in the middle. Here, O at the start and T at the end practically set you up to consider a space-related five-letter verb/noun—then the meaning does the rest.
