The word 'tryst' has proved to be an 'impossible' challenge for a number of wordle players who struggled to solve this tricky puzzle with no vowels.
Words such as aphid, trite, agape, and pinto are all recent wordle challenges that players have been stumped by in the past few weeks. And the wordle challenge on July 22 was much like these words as players were beaten by a five-letter word consisting only of vowels.
Frustrated players have taken to social media to complain about this recent 'impossible' challenge, as fans complain that it was 'too difficult' for the average player.
