caulk was the word last week though? Nobody I play the game with knew that word. Granted we are not native english speakers. Too hard word every now and then is also unifying experience when everybody stops hating the player and instead hates the game.
- EdwardDiego 5y agoFair point. Caulk might also be more of a British English word than American English word.
- mango7283 5y agoI'm not sure about that, given it was used in New Girl, a Fox tv series. The comments thanking new girl for how the solver knew the word was such a refreshing change from "omg NYT ruined it" ...I also learned it was used in that classic millennial childhood game Oregon Trail (because you can caulk the wagon to cross the river)
- maupin 5y agoIt's a common word as far as I, an American, knew. But then again my dad was handy around the house and we always had tubes of caulking around.
