Today's Wordle - Could Be Spoilers!

[barry1010]

If you are a Wordler and haven't done today's please don't continue reading this thread, I really don't want to be kicked in the shin for spoiling your enjoyment of today's puzzle. Come back when you've done it :)

I am not happy with today's Wordle. I got it in 4 but only because there was no other letter that could possible sit in that space. It is not a word I have heard nor read although it is in the dictionary.

How did you get on?

[1ozzy]

Haven't played wordle for ages Baz.
Thanks for the heads up.
Will do so tomorrow

[Milo2]

I was the same Barry. I got it in 4 because it was the only letter that fitted.

[Rosetta]

I also got it in four. Sometimes it is just pure jam, this time I managed to work it out ok. As you say Barry, there weren't many options. The base word helped

[vulcan42]

Same as you barry and for the same reason. I suppose being American based, odd words will occasionally crop up.

[naomi24]

After trying three wrong options for the first letter, number six worked - and just as well. It was the only one left.

I don't the Daily Mail's Codeword online every day, too, and I get very frustrated at that because it seems to be US based and uses a lot of nouns, especially US states. Recently it had 'watchermecallit'.

[MargoTester]

Barry are you sure you mean Dail Mail Codeword as there are only 13 spaces on that gridand the word you mention is 15 letters long

[-SharonA-]

Just done it & in 4 too. Not a word in my vocab.

[barry1010]

Yes, I do mean the DM Codeword, it was Saturday's in the DM app

[Hazlinny]

I'm thinking it might be a Scottish word? I don't use it every day but have said it in sentences on occasions.

[barry1010]

According to the dictionaries I've looked at it is US usage, the UK variant is one letter different.

[calmck]

Same in 4

Haven't done Wordle for a while - got fed up of ruining my sequences by forgetting (usually on a Saturday). Have, in fact, rediscovered where to play online Scrabble (it was banned in the UK for a while?) so i'm kick-starting the old grey matter with that.

As for today's Wordle, i did it after reading Barry's "come back when you've done it" and, like many on here, i got it in 4. I don't believe i've ever used the word without a 'ker' prefix, but it is one i have heard of.

[Hazlinny]

Cambridge Dictionary has it Barry. 16.00
Some would probably say it with an "o" but I say it with a "u".

[Cloverjo]

I got in five goes. I wasn’t unhappy with the word. It’s good to discover new words.

[barry1010]

Ken, I would appreciate a link to the online Scrabble, I am playing it in the Classic Words app but it is not challenging

Haz, the Cambridge has it as US with the UK variant spelt differently

Thanks, Ken
