Brits playing today's Wordle have been sharing their frustration after realising the answer to the puzzle isn't the traditional spelling of the word.
The online word puzzle which has shot to fame in recent weeks has left many people stumped or frustrated.
Wordle game number 235 even saw BBC Breakfast's Dan Walker predicting "a diplomatic incident today in the world or Wordle" before he warns his almost three quarters of a million followers to "Prepare yourselves".
Frustrated players took to social media after finally working out the letter jumble, with one fuming player tweeting: "THAT'S NOT HOW YOU SPELL IT".

Comedian Shappi Khorsandi said: "5/6 Absolute outrage.
"It’s called the ENGLISH language (sorry. Mild wordle related xenophobia. Normal services resumed shortly)."
ITV's political editor Robert Peston added: "Thank you Wordle for helping me understand with dazzling clarity what it is to be British.
"I solved you, but I felt cheapened in the process. I think I am done with you."
And twitter user Martha added: "Totally get why 'stupid American' is trending."
While American player Davy Jones laughed: "Sorry, Brits, we got rid of U," with a laughing emoji.
The game, which was created by software engineer Josh Wardle for his partner after the pair began playing word puzzles during lockdown, now has millions of people playing daily.
On Monday, Mr Wardle announced that his creation had been bought by The New York Times Company for a sum "in the low seven figures".
Mr Wardle, who lives in New York but was born in Wales, thanked users on Twitter for sharing touching stories about the effect the game has had on their lives and relationships and added that he was "thrilled" about the takeover.
The online puzzle game requires players to guess a five-letter word within six attempts, using different coloured bricks to indicate if guessed letters are part of the answer.
Once solved, players are able to share their results on social media via rows of the same coloured bricks but with the letters removed, so others can see how they did without giving away the answer.
It has fans from around the world, although has lead the UK intelligence agency to teased the head of MI6 after he voiced his annoyance at people who post their Wordle results online.
MI6 boss Richard Moore tweeted on Wednesday that he was "thinking of unfollowing those who post their Wordle results ... "
Mr Moore's comment, posted to his 122,000 followers, received a mixed response and sparked a playful exchange between the security chief and the UK's intelligence agency GCHQ.
The spy body's official Twitter account responded to Mr Moore's tweet with a mocked-up graphic of the game with the word "sorry" on it.
This prompted Twitter users to joke that the government organisation, which deals with cyber security and intelligence, should already know the answers to the daily word game before they are revealed.
One user replied: "I would hope you would know their results before they post them - kind of the point of your role."
While another wrote: "GCHQ trolling the head of MI6 is the content I'm here for."
The answer, which is one letter shorter than Brits would expect it to be spelt, by removing the U, is the American English version of the word.
For those who haven't quite solved the today's puzzle yet, the word is HUMOR, which as Brits all know should be spelt HUMOUR.
