I hope that I haven’t said too much blush

Bellanonna Thu 05-May-22 10:43:24

Ah, thanks Fanny. ?

*Callistemon*, DD thinks it’s a corruption of a baseball term. I wonder? If Mr Wordle hadn’t sold to the NYT I suppose some words and spellings would be different.

It is. It’s not a corruption though. It’s a common word in the US.
It was the answer to a NYT crossword clue the other day. It’s a noun

I wonder if NYTs is still using all 2500 odd words Mr Wardle put into the program.
They’ll last till 2027 so we could we get more like this.

Thanks Bellanonna

SPOILER ALERT:
It's obviously an American term!

It isn't acceptable Bellanonna

I put it in as a last attempt, TillyTrotter and it proved right but I'm annoyed!

Failed ☹️
I thought of that word but didn’t think it would be acceptable

TillyTrotter Thu 05-May-22 09:02:20

I hesitated to put my last letter in (you will know what I mean as you have done it today. I won’t say more).
It proved to be right.

Change of opening word seems to have perked things up.

Just got it on the last line. I made it even more difficult by forgetting to use a correct letter from line 2 again till I was struggling at the end.
