Wordle with SPOILERS

To those moaning about. today's word I say: pish! and pshaw! And possibly also fiddlesticks.

Maybe we could have BOLOX as a solution, bringing it into modern language!

I always thought it was “sure” said in an ironic sort of way.
Ie “Yeah sure you did.”
But now I learn it’s pshaw.

All these obscure words that most people have never heard of are turning from a test of vocabulary and logic into a test of patience.

Have to admit this is the first of the recent obscure ones that I didn't know. I was fine with pshaw. But butte?

Well it's now becoming a test of vocabulary that it never really was before when it just used super common words.

I was the other way round. I did a geography degree so knew butte.
But I guess the owners put these weird words in to create online discussion.

I don't think that's an unusual word.

I put it to you that you are only saying that because you are secretly in the pay of Wordle. You are an accomplice of Wordle posing as a genuine customer in order to entice others.

In other words, you are a 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I guess I'm lucky then. It's easier to guess that BUTTE is a real word, as it looks like one, than PSHAW, which does not.

I think you're right about the current crop of non-boring words being aimed at adding a bit of online chat and to generally promote Wordle. I noticed that Tracy Bennett (the Wordle editor, not the dredger that I used to see going up and down the Thames) has been active on Instagram lately talking about PSHAW and the like.

I was fine with butte, knew its was a "something" pshaw was try the gaps until something worked, as was this mornings: what will fit - H is worth a try.

You'll find it used a lot on political forums and it's also used on ebay, where shill bidding is prohibited.

I think shill is fairly common.

Yes, when I was down to S-ILL it did come to my mind. I just didn't choose it
