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

I know I got it, but I've totally forgotten what it was! Grin

Alwayswonderedwhy · 16/02/2022 15:45

I wouldn't say it's uncommon in the UK. If you do your own decorating it's a common product to use.

Fink · 16/02/2022 15:49

I never heard of it, but I got it because I had the first 4 letters and just needed to try out a 5th until one was a recognised word.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 16/02/2022 15:54

Never heard the word before but got it by a process of elimination!

SoupDragon · 16/02/2022 15:54

I'm fairly confident I could get it in one guess from reading this thread 😂

SoupDragon · 16/02/2022 15:55

I think complaining about "spoilers" is a bit odd on a thread that is clearly going to be discussing the word.

Dinoboymama · 16/02/2022 16:00

@CharacterForming

Aroma was yesterday (unless you had a link to the legacy site in which case it was Agora which genuinely is tricky).
Unfortunately those on the legacy site had the same one people got yesterday
Dinoboymama · 16/02/2022 16:02

Theres two words for wordle atm those who haven't went on the nytimes new link to it haven't got the updated new one.
My husband has the new one i have the old one.

Yesterday and todays answers on the old one were very very similar.

HerbErtlinger · 16/02/2022 16:05

I got it in 3, DP's a plumber though and I've seen it before on supplies

Comefromaway · 16/02/2022 16:06

I work for a plumbing company so I guess thats why I got it.

Joolsin · 16/02/2022 16:09

I got it in 4, put a rhyming word in 3, so damnit I could have had it in 3 goes. I've known this word since I was little, read about it in relation to boats then, and also know the DIY use. I wouldn't have thought it was an Americanism.

SpidersAreShitheads · 16/02/2022 16:09

I got today's in three but there was a very easy word last week or so that I almost missed out on - it was "could" or "light" or something equally basic. I only just squeaked in with that one - and yet today I got a word that I barely know in just three guesses.

Mad how the brain works 😅

Modernidiot · 16/02/2022 16:11

Got it in 5, dh wasted one of my goes though Hmm

MaggieMooh · 16/02/2022 16:16

It’s a very common word, I wouldn’t think twice about it. I don’t know how people are getting the legacy site though, when I go to Powerlanguage it automatically redirects me to NYT.

CraftyGin · 16/02/2022 16:20

I got it in three, but only because there was only one vowel left.

And we are an American family :)

JesusSufferingFuck22 · 16/02/2022 16:20

yesterday I got the word first attempt! I don't see that happening again.

Today took me 5 attempts.

Someone sent me this link to the archived wordles.

maddy68 · 16/02/2022 16:21

I know it because we do a lot of DIY got it on 4

AdaColeman · 16/02/2022 16:30

Easy if you are an Aubrey & Maturin fan!

randomsabreuse · 16/02/2022 16:45

@AdaColeman

I'm more a Hornblower, Bolitho (early ones) and Ramage fan...

AdaColeman · 16/02/2022 17:09

@randomsabreuse
Oh thanks! I'll give Bolitho a try, I love a series!

speakout · 16/02/2022 17:13

I got it in 3.
I have tiled a kitchen.

FunnyInjury · 16/02/2022 17:29

@LilacPaisley I had Aroma for todays word!

I bet I get the decorator one tomorrow and I’m gonna smash it on my first guess 🤣🤣

Turtlerunner · 16/02/2022 17:39

Well known decoraters product in uk

surreymum89 · 16/02/2022 17:49

I'm useless at the game but got it on 4th go, it is very relevant to what I have been doing recently though

gigantaraffe · 16/02/2022 17:56

I do know the word but I was absolutely stumped! Couldn't work it out.
