Re: Wordle, a Daily Frustration.
I'm starting to think the frustration of this game is managing it's dang cookie.
I've ended up clearing my cache the other day and I intentinally missed yesterdays (but I already know about it's quirkly consecutive streak.
So after a streak of 13 I've now got a new cookie.
Got Todays though

A fairly straightforward one.
Now, about yesterday's. Combining the facts that a) it's a loan word from French, b) the word is quite commonly written in the feminine form in English, i.e. with an extra e after the é, and c) the question of whether to put accents on capital letters is debatable, it seems like a rather odd choice. The rules of the game are supposed to be simple and, understandably, don't really cover any of the above.

Re: Wordle, a Daily Frustration.
I was about to ask if this is commonly used word in English. But then I also realised that it's probably not how the game works. They have a certain dictionary and a random 5 letter word is automatically picked every day. Thus, all questions about the reasons for a certain word to be chosen are rather pointless, as they can be answered with: "It's in the dictionary."CBJ wrote: ↑Sat, 19.

Re: Wordle, a Daily Frustration.
It is fairly common, yes. We use a lot of French words for cooking terms. Some, such as this one, have been in pretty common usage for many years, but the range has expanded recently thanks to all the cooking shows on TV. If you'd asked a Brit 20 years ago what "sous vide" or "amuse bouche" meant, they'd probably have looked at you like you were mad, but lots of people now know what the terms mean, even if they'd never use them themselves in practice.X2-Illuminatus wrote: ↑Sun, 20.
