If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

You can have mine. I am stuck with two yellows (both vowels) even after three tries.

I guess the NYT version is not sticking to common words. This is barely English.

It has French roots, but I've definitely heard it more than once used in English.

Me too. I should have gotten it but I got frustrated and gave up, throwing in a word that I knew wasn't it just to see what the word was. Never done that before.

NYTimes has increased the word list from the original game, it still does not include words made plural with an 's' at the end. It is helpful to use a word list/helper for that reason. Some of the other games (especially Dordle) use a broader word list.

I was pretty shocked that that turned out to be the word; I was just putting it in there to see if the "er" was at the end.

A good one to not get, in my humble opinion, Jude. I didn't have a problem with "ennui" (even though I didn't get it), but I don't like that they used today's word.
