Wordle follows obscure boat term with everyday multi-meaning word

Wordle #1,926 on Sunday, September 27, was SLOOP, an uncommon term for a single-masted sailing boat that many players found unusually difficult. The following day's puzzle, #1,927, was TRUNK, a more familiar word with several meanings—including a tree's main stem, a car's storage compartment and an elephant's nose—and was widely considered easier. Together, the puzzles offered a sharp shift from an obscure sailing term to an everyday word with multiple common uses.
