Today's NYT Wordle #1923 seems like one that you could solve pretty quickly. The answer is a well-known five-letter word, all of its letters are common and there is just one vowel to consider. However, there is one point which can easily mislead a otherwise good guess: a repeated letter.
There are two adjacent S letters in today's answer. If you notice one S and think that you have found the only one, your remaining guesses can then be eliminated quickly.

Messy describes something as untidy or disordered, for example, it can be used to refer to a cluttered desk, a spill on the counter, or a complicated breakup.
The word is formed from "mess" and the suffix "-y"; at first, the word "mess" meant a portion of food before it acquired its usual sense of disorder.
The word family consists of mess, messes, messier, messiest and messily.

Why MESSY Can Be Tricky
The greatest difficulty is the double S. It is tempting, after a player has confirmed the presence of one S, to move on and use their next guess to try out entirely different consonants; but in the case of MESSY the second S is right next to the first.The puzzle thus serves as a reminder that discovering one letter doesn't always mean that the letter occurs only once.
The puzzle is given a 3 out of 5 rating as a streak-saver, the main difficulty coming from the S letters which are next to each other.
What Today's Wordle Teaches
If a word pattern you're used to still doesn't seem to fit, you shouldn't immediately think that you need a completely new letter.A letter that repeats might be the key.
For this day's puzzle, having a second S in play can help stop a near-match from resulting in another go.
