"Tacit approval" was a phrase I became familiar with during the previous Presidency.pdub wrote: ↑Mon Feb 21, 2022 6:45 pmYes.DrPepper wrote: ↑Mon Feb 21, 2022 11:43 am"the grassy knoll" made "knoll" pretty common. Not commonly used, but commonly known in my book.zsn wrote: ↑Mon Feb 21, 2022 9:37 am
The previous guess was habit, so my options were tacit or davit, but I thought the latter was too obscure.
It’s used a lot in legal circles and also elsewhere, but your point is well taken - it’s not a word one uses even day or even on a weekly basis. Same can be said for words like knoll….
The average person ( American ) has said the word knoll in their life.
The average person has not said tacit.

My word this one was brutal. Thought I had it on my 3rd.

I had four correct letters after 2 guesses and I knew 1 location. Still took 5 guesses.

Ok Cascadia.
*****WARNING*********
***** WARNING ********
I'm going to explain to pdub how I got the word.
Don't read below if you are going to play the game.
I swear on my mother's life, my life, and all the money I have to my name, it was nothing more than a very lucky guess.
First guess was the word BOARD.
Clearly the B was in the right place and the letter O was not.
I spent about 15 seconds thinking what words start with B, have an O in them and O is NOT the second letter, and do NOT have an A. At that moment there were only two words that popped in to my mind. Of course there are more and for some unknown reason I was NOT thinking of words that end in O.
I have no idea how or why but clearly I guessed right. Wordle Shit happens. Sometimes in a positive way, sometimes in a negative way. Today was a positive way. About a week ago shit happened and a very negative way. Had 4 correct letters in the right place/s for 3 guesses and still couldn't guess the word in 6 guesses.

Look back and see how many times you've posted two guess scores.
