I confess to needing a little help on this one. Is this a real word? I would have challenged it in Scrabble.

Update -- In doing some research, it does seem to be a legitimate word, meaning attractiveness. I've never heard it used that way that I can remember. The only time I might say it is when having to get out of a comfortable chair against my will.

I don't know about "clear" in the greens. Maybe in context of a "clear winner," but that doesn't match "deep." (My one mistake was having "stuffed" instead.)

I have heard of a "full boat," but I don't think I have heard of a full house being called just "a boat."

I have head of full houses referred to as just "boats" before. In Rounders, I believe Worm says in the scene in the police game, "F**k you and your endless stream of boats."

Wow 2 eagles in a row good job. Kind of aligns with one of yesterday's categories eh? Also kind of aligns with oomph 2 days ago on wordle. Whenever I play thrice game,oomph has been my results lately. I used to do fairly decent but lately it has been challenging for me. I finally got my Google back. My old phone died and had to get a different one. Tried in vain even with their 2 factor verification process. The code they wanted to send me was to the email I was locked out of. The phone number they wanted to send a code to was an old number which is no longer active. Finally they hit on one of my alternative emails to send the code to. Without Google sign in couldn't access my contacts download apps or sign in to YouTube. Finally got it all back last night. Oomph indeed.life goes on. Sorry to ramble on. Couldn't even take screenshots to upload to photos to post my wordle game.
