I fortunately had the first three letters and had eliminated all other vowels, so I was able to type combos quickly until I got one that wasn't in red. That was my guess of the most likely thing to be a word with what I had left after five guesses, but yeesh.
This is the first time I haven't known a word in Wordle, Dordle, or Quordle. I've been playing since Jan 1 (Wordle) or mid-Jan for the other two.
I wasn't anticipating an April 1 joke, but I agree that's the most likely answer. It's not using random words from word lists, since otherwise there would be regular plurals.
