Wordle Hint #1: Repeats

Wordle Hint #2: Vowels
The solution contains exactly two vowels. Think about common vowel pairings and where they might fit in a five-letter word.
Wordle Hint #3: First Letter
The word begins with the letter "W". This narrows things down considerably. Think of words that start with 'W' and common letter combinations.
