Guppy meaning
Many players struggled with today's challenge because they were unfamiliar with the word. The word is not particularly common in everyday life, so what does the word guppy mean, and how can you use it in a sentence?
The word 'guppy' is a noun that means, 'a small live-bearing freshwater fish widely kept in aquaria. Native to tropical America, it has been introduced elsewhere to control mosquito larvae'.
To use this word in a sentence you could say, 'I'm looking to buy a guppy for my fish tank'. Guppies are commonly found across the world in household aquariums but they originate from warm climates, specifically in Barbados, Trinidad, and Venezuela.
