Five letter words are so much more now than four letters, yes I Wordle (although Wordle isn't a word according to the Oxford English Dictionary). Yes I have used it as a verb, and it is probably a noun (or maybe both). I guess we will have to wait and see if wordle is added to the dictionary. I am not sure if there are rules with Wordle, but I am pretty sure using the dictionary is frowned upon.
Some of my favourite 5 letter words:
- craic, n: Fun, amusement; entertaining company or conversation.
- gyaff, n: Idle chat, gossip. Also: an instance of this; a chat; a piece of gossip.
- frock, n: The outer garment, for indoor wear, of women and children, consisting of a bodice and skirt; a gown, dress. (this is one of many meanings, I personally use "frock" instead of "dress" -e.g. "She wore a beautiful floral sunfrock")
- oxter, n: The armpit; (also more generally) the underside of the upper arm; the fold of the arm when bent against the body. Also: the armhole of a coat, jacket, etc.
- schmo, n: An idiot, a fool, a loser. Also in weakened use: an average or ordinary person. " I'm just an ordinary schmo trying to make a living.
