Re yesterday's query about running out of words..
If wordle relies on never repeating a word, if you have a great memory (or a written archive of solutions) it will get Increasingly easy as you know all the words that it CAN'T be. So in a way its better that a word CAN be repeated

No, but it took me until the next morning to realise that I'd subconsciously used it when I went with OPINE as an opener.

I've now got an image of a dedicated wordler scouring their massive ledger of used words each day 🤣
Unlike most of us who clearly only remember the first word that lost us our streak 😡 and forget today's word as soon as completed!

Going back to piney. Is the spelling with an e a US thing or a gradual change in spelling? I was taught (a very long time ago) that when the root of a word ended in e, you left it out when turning it into an adverb e.g. ice icy and lace lacy stripe stripy etc. So I would spell piney "piny" . But that doesn't seem to be universal anymore. Smiley is definitely the usual spelling now 🤔

adjective !!! not adverb

I don't recognise 'piney' or 'piny' as an adjective at all although I know what you mean about the 'y' ending for words like 'ice' and 'icy', Losing. I think someone here was saying it's a descriptive word in place-names in the US. Piney something or other?!

I have been putting 'piney' in a sentence and it sounds very odd.

If we get a real tree at Christmas, I hope it lasts and stays fresh for the season. I love sniffing the air when it's fresh and piney; it's so christmassy 😅

Don't be telling me that 'christmassy' isn't a proper adjective!!

Don't be telling me that 'christmassy' isn't a proper adjective!! I wouldn't dare Fuzzy Christmassy is definitely in my vocabulary whether it's in the dictionary or not.
My guess before piney was winey which I am equally affronted is an acceptable wordle word. It needs an h at the very least.
I can't wait for Christmas when I can wish that all your scents may be piney scents 😂

@LosingTheWill2022 i think you can reasonably have winey as an adjective for being like wine, but I don’t really like it

I'll grudgingly accept that @Sunbird24

Agree on being affronted by 'winey'!

Unfortunately Losing, when I tried having a real tree one year, it went droopy and died on me and the air was far from 'piney' 😁 * *Sadly...

May your scents be piney, your hot punch winey and all your Christmases be white!
Well done everyone today!

Love it!

To guarantee a piney Christmas Fuzzy

😄

@LosingTheWill2022 brilliant!!
Now I am smiley 😅

I was looking at it thinking is PINCY a word before I realised I had an E left (the letter not the drug)

It might yet come up as a word 😅

I have these as we have a fake Christmas tree and the first year we got it, it smelt really plasticky. Would defo recommend.

To me piney is like whiney. The dog pined for his owner and there was piney

I considered HINEY but apparently it's spelt Heinie

So did I 🤣

Heinie? Is that a Fanny?

It's your bottom - so as Americans use fanny for bum you are right 😄
