Ok, so I googled, and saw three definitions. One American, one quite niche, and one that's 'Scottish English, informal'.

So I can understand why people don't know it.

Yikes! I only got that because I looked up this thread before I took my last go. Thanks all!

As TheAbbotOfUnreason said, I had also seen the word in one of the other games Quordle etc, so I knew it was a word (and had googled it last time as I was annoyed I didn't get it!) but went with more familiar words first for guesses 3 and 4.

Interested in this thread?

Like everyone else, didn't think of it as a word but got it on Line 6 by process of elimination.

Puzzled today. As others have already said, I wouldn't have thought this is a word? Only put it in as nothing else fit

AreYouAFeminist · 05/05/2022 13:53

I had considered today's as an option but discounted it because IT'S NOT A WORD

Very annoyed I lost my streak with this

My first ever fail.

I'm also Team Not a Word!

It IS used as slang in our house with 2 completely different meanings but that doesn't MAKE IT A WORD!

Sorry to everyone who lost their streak with the word today. Twitter is also full of some very cross people!

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 05/05/2022 15:03

It seems like slang to me. It's very obscure.
