Vouch: Wordle fans face 'most frustrating wordle ever'
The word 'vouch' has been the cause of a lot of anger and frustration as many players lose their streaks because of Wordle 340


The word 'vouch' has stumped a number of Wordle players who struggled to work out this latest challenge and labeled Wordle 340 as the 'most frustrating wordle ever'.
The American slang word 'homer,' and the word 'zesty,' and the word 'scour,' are all recent wordle answers that have infuriated players. But while these words were tricky to work out, Wordle 340 on May 25 has annoyed players for a slightly different reason.
Although 'vouch' is a pretty common word, many players struggled to work it out and have taken to social media to complain and say that the New York Times - the makers of this game - have done them 'dirty' once again.
"#Wordle340 6/6* I can vouch that this is the most frustrating wordle ever, for me," said one player.
"Wordle 340 X/6 WOW #wordle did me dirty again!!" said another player who failed to work out the puzzle. "Wordle 340 X/6 this wordle will be the end of me," added another.

But why did players find this challenge so tricky? It seems that a lot of players were able to work out the letters at the end of the word, but struggled when it came to placing the 'v' at the beginning of the word.
"Wordle 340 5/6 could have been 3/6 but for the leading letter," said one player.
"Horrid Wordle 340 X/6," said another player who managed to work out all of the tiles apart from the first tile.
This is a typical problem that usually happens when a word crops up that has a lot of similar letters to other words. For example, many players may have guessed the word 'couch,' or 'pouch,' or 'touch,' before they ultimately worked out that the word began with the letter 'v,' making the word 'vouch'.
