At first I thought, "a decent chance of a 2, a good chance of a 3"...

...and then found the solution is an American English word entirely absent from British English. I'd never heard of it before today.

Two prototypes of the Yak-30 were built, the aircraft still being in the testing stage as the MiG-15 was already entering operational service, and work on the aircraft effectively ceased in December 1948. This is anachronistic scheme deriving from early Russian Su-27SM Flankers aircraft.

A curious fact; the 7" single version of 'Everybody' was the only Madonna record I ever bought. Good floor filler.

Prototype VB895 of the Supermarine Seafang Type 32, intended for the Royal Navy and developed from the Spiteful, the Spitfire's intended replacement. Both were cancelled in favour of new jet-powered aircraft. This completes my "Fleet Air Arm" aircraft in the game.

The Supermarine Attacker, depicted as a machine of the Fleet Air Arm's 1831 Naval Air Squadron. This has a surprisingly awkward model in the game.

My fourth Sea Hawk is a representation of a plane belonging to No. 300 Indian Naval Air Squadron. India operated this first generation jet until 1984, remarkably.

The Netherlands Naval Aviation Service (Marineluchtvaartdienst) also operated Sea Hawks, finally scrapping them in 1964. This machine is assigned to VSQ860.

The Hawker Sea Hawk was a successful export plane. Here's a Marinefliegerkommando (German Naval Air Arm) machine of the 2nd squadron, circa 1959.

So that plane dates from 1956; in theory no, but I don't think the game designers pay much attention to the apparel of their pilots!

I shall be moving either to other word puzzles or other fields of interest, leaving Wordle behind. Having got a puzzle in one and not being enthusiastic about the re-use of words as solutions, it seems a suitable moment.

As I won't be posting Wordle any longer, I shall find a new topic.

This is a Hawker Sea Hawk of the 802nd Naval Air Squadron, Fleet Air Arm, Royal Navy during the Suez crisis. The serials under the wings may have been painted over.

My work here is done. I had a hunch what the puzzle setters would do on the first day of reusing words and they did.

With that, I'm done with Wordle.

I swallowed a dictionary when I was born. ๐Ÿคฃ

I think I first saw that word in one of Lawrence Durrell's books (brother of the well-known Gerald Durrell, incidentally).

Today's only six letter word, for instance, is apparently of American origin and I've never heard an American use it. Last time for this puzzle.

First word: "what, a swing and a miss *again*?"
Second word: "oh......wow!"

That was a worse than 100 to 1 shot.

Are we looking forward to the reuse of words as the solution from Monday? Scores are going to worsen, I believe, so it's nice to get a three here.
