AIBU to not know today's Wordle answer?

[SweatyBetty1234]

Never heard of the word which is the answer to Wordle today. Anyone else the same?

I wouldn't say it was an Americanism. I found today's quite easy compared to some of them!

Yeah if you have ever done DIY you know the word.

You need to clear your cache to get the proper Wordle. If you close the tab it doesn't lose your results.

I knew today's word because of going to the Isle of Wight quite often- it's part of a nick name for people who were born and brought up there.

I got it in five, but I guessed it. I've never heard of wordle before yesterday when it had the glitch. Is there a way you are meant to start with a certain type of word for your first guess? I just started with a word that had no repeats of letters, is that the right kind of idea?

I got it in 4 today and do know the word. I also think they are getting more difficult as I was getting in 2 or 3. These days its more like 4 or 5 but yesterday was 6.....

I didn't know the Lewdle word today though. Got that in 6 too. Bloody nerd I am clearly. I had a good laugh at the definition though.

I had heard of it before anyway, but also used the product during recent building work and the builders also pronounced it with a 'ch'!

@ScottChegg

I knew the word. My DH maintains that, if you have that and gaffer tape then you can fix anything.😂

Sounds like my dad. I sent him this flowchart

@FunnyInjury

There has been a glitch in the wordle matrix 🤣

My word yesterday was a greek word which I only got by guessing all the possible (non word) permutations I had left with letters left until I got the answer! I had 4 correct letters and still didn’t know what the last letter was until I got to that last letter on qwerty keypad!

However I looked on twitter last night and other people had a different word (weird)

So today, with one correct letter from my starting word, I guessed at yesterdays ‘other’ word and it’s correct so I got it in 2 (personal best 🤣)

Same here!

I use it all the time. Got it in 4

I looked over DHs shoulder this morning as he was trying the third row and guessed it. He was not happy with for for spoilering it for him
I do all the diy in our house obviously

I got it 2 as my starter word was sauce and I am an old hand at decorating

Totally normal word that I used just yesterday... I am slightly older though, I think the other word for this may be more modern and more likely to be used by younger people?

I knew it as I bought some last week. Who knew it would come in handy for Wordle as well as DIY.

I got it in three.

It looked like a word so I put it in - of course if it hadn't been a word I wouldn't have been able to submit it. (I did then have to look it up.)

I got it in 3, I love my DIY and decorating though, I'd have never said it was an American word either :-/

As DH said, just look in the basement.

Got it in 3, but I'm familiar with the word

I wouldn't have thought it was a particularly American word- in common use in DIY and in boat building...
Got it in 4.

I thought it was a british word too. It's to do with DIY ing, isn't it? Or boats.

Look, Wordle is just a test of vocabulary and memory. If you don't know the word, then hey, you've learned something!

I only got it because of the amount of DIY we do and having an old house we’ve used a lot of the stuff!

I got it in 4, but I work at a plumbing company so see it a lot!

3rd guess!

I thought of it at second guess, but tried something else, after which it was obvious I should have gone with it.

I watched a lot of sailing videos on Youtube during lockdown, so I have heard the word used often by non-UK sailors fixing their boats.

In the UK we usually use a different word, though I think that word is printed on some products we use.
