They mean ERROR has already been used as the solution of a previous Wordle. Some like using that information and that solutions so far have not been recycled.

Ah but what I meant was that

was just a guess nearing the real solution as indicated in my imgbb picture. I thought you meant i solved a wrong puzzle which didn’t made much sense to me.

Me too. I had two choices for my fourth word. I typed in the correct answer but then backed out, thinking "It should be the noun. Wrong! LOL

I used a rather popular noun, too, as 4th, after an almost hit 3rd with an adjective. A noun that is almost everywhere in the news these days.

I later realized that "drove" can of course be a noun as well as a past tense.
