Foray—Wordle fans are distraught by tricky challenge
The word 'foray' confused many Wordle players who struggled to guess the latest tricky word
The word 'foray' has infuriated Wordle players as many swear off the game for good.
Wordle has been known to throw a few curveballs at players and put words such as 'lowly' and 'natal' as answers for the daily word game, and Wordle 292 was one again, another infuriating challenge.
The word 'foray' has totally stumped players on April 7, with many only managing to guess the word after a 'trial and error' process with their guessing. Fans are infuriated and have taken to social media to share their disappointment as many lose their winning streaks and swear off the game.
"Wordle 292 X/6 This is the worst day of my life," said one player who failed to guess the word correctly.
"Wordle 292 X/6 Never heard of that word in my life," said another.
Other players were insistent that foray was in fact not a word. "Wordle is such a scam what kind of word is foray," said one player.
"Wordle 292 4/6 #Wordle292 Trial and error really. I can truly say I have never heard, read or used this word in my life," added another.

The Cambridge dictionary defines the word 'foray' as meaning, "a short period of time being involved in an activity that is different from and outside the range of a usual set of activities."
The example given in context is, "she made a brief foray into acting, before becoming a teacher."
A foray can also mean a sudden act by an army to enter into an enemy area. In context you could say, "the group of soldiers led a foray into Berlin in order to gather supplies."
