Honestly, the Wordle for May 18 totally tripped people up. The answer was LIVID, which isn't a word you use every day unless you're literally shaking with anger. What made it even harder was it had a double I, and that's rare enough to throw off even regular players. I remember sitting there trying combos with common vowels and getting nothing. The L at the start and D at the end weren't obvious, so people just kept guessing stuff like LIMIT or LIKED.

Plus, if you're the type who goes for common letters first, you might not even see LIVID coming, because V barely gets picked. And not everyone even knows what livid means unless they've had a teacher who used it all the time.

I've noticed Wordles with less common letter combos always get players ranting online. This one definitely fit that trend. If it hadn't been for some hints online, I probably would have lost my streak! If you didn't get it, don't feel bad—a lot of people were just as stumped.
