I wondered about that comment too @ShakeYourFeathers!

ThePoshUns · 08/04/2023 08:24

Well todays was hard work!
One vowel words are so tricky especially when there's no y either

WhatWouldJeevesDo · 08/04/2023 17:51

What’s the word with a different third letter?

What’s the word with a different third letter?

I've gone through all the alphabet in my head and I reckon it's G. Very old word according to Google.

WhatWouldJeevesDo · 08/04/2023 19:09

Thanks, @TaraMock. How odd!

SheilaFentiman · 09/04/2023 00:33

Well, today’s is a right little git!

JoanThursday · 09/04/2023 02:23

Isn't it just?? I've heard of it but interesting it's allowed as it's an acronym. But I guess it's passed into common parlance (in North America at least).

I considered waiting till morning but lack of sleep is raging tonight!

PoseyFlump · 09/04/2023 06:17

I figured out what the last letter was then the real head scratching began! Don't think I've ever come across that word before. Not even in books.

TaraMock · 09/04/2023 07:40

I have heard of it, but still object to its use as a wordle word. I had the last word and once I worked out its place then it was the only possible answer.

TaraMock · 09/04/2023 07:41

last letter!

WhatWouldJeevesDo · 09/04/2023 08:14

But it’s rude! I didn’t think it would be allowed.

SheilaFentiman · 09/04/2023 08:35

I think it’s a word in its own right in America and so has lost the “rude” from the origins.

SheilaFentiman · 09/04/2023 08:36

It’s in both the uk and us scrabble dictionaries

FancyFanny · 09/04/2023 08:40

Never heard of it! Got it in 4 through pure trial and error- had to google what it meant.

My first time cheating by googling it, I had worked out what the last letter was and couldn't think of a single word that fitted. I had also never heard of the word.

TheWonderfulThingAboutTiggers · 09/04/2023 08:42

I thought it was an anagram!? I had several letters but eas completely stuck until I guessed it as a last resort. Was so surprised it was allowed.

TheWonderfulThingAboutTiggers · 09/04/2023 08:44

D'oh abbreviation not anagram. What was I thinking!?

SheilaFentiman · 09/04/2023 08:45

Neither 😀 it started as an acronym but it’s become a word, I guess!

TheWonderfulThingAboutTiggers · 09/04/2023 08:45

Or even acronym. I think I'll stop here 🙈.

SheilaFentiman · 09/04/2023 08:46

X post 😀

TheWonderfulThingAboutTiggers · 09/04/2023 08:46

Ha thanks. I kept realising after posting. I think I need coffee 😂

SheilaFentiman · 09/04/2023 09:00

DH has brought me coffee in bed, this is basically why I keep him around 😀

ThePoshUns · 09/04/2023 09:04

Really annoying today. Have never heard that expression and it's an acronym. Managed to keep my streak though. Am at 99 and want to get to 100

DahliaMacNamara · 09/04/2023 09:23

By line 3 I'd had the U in every available position except last, and knew immediately what they'd done, the dirty rotten bastards. So I didn't need to fossick around in my brain for the solution in the end, but I was frowning disapproval even as I typed it out.

Summerslimtime · 09/04/2023 09:31

It's the second time my streak has disappeared. Has anyone else had this? So bloody pissed off.
