Yay!

Answer:

WAHOO

Hint:

This exclamation might be heard at a rodeo or when someone hits the jackpot in a game. It’s more energetic than a simple "hooray."

Explanation:

"Yay!" is an excited cheer, and "WAHOO" is another way to express that same burst of joy. The clue plays on the idea of synonyms—both words convey enthusiasm, so the answer is simply a more energetic alternative. It’s straightforward with no hidden wordplay, just matching the tone of the clue to a lively exclamation.
