How Wentworth handles Duolingo scores
Wentworth asks for official exam scores, and the table lists DET as where to send Duolingo results. DET, TOEFL iBT and IELTS Academic scores are valid for two years, and older scores are not accepted.
The page sets no Duolingo subscore minimum, unlike TOEFL, which has a subsection floor.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS Academic at 6.5 overall with no subscore below 5.5.

If your Duolingo score is below 105
Wentworth has agreements with English schools in Boston, with Approach ISC and ASC English preferred. Completing the listed level, for example ELS Level 112, EF Level C1-1 or CELOP Level 8, can replace the test, with a letter of recommendation from the centre director or English teacher.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Wentworth programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
