A new word perhaps - an aglet

Tweet

I have a bit of a routine each morning. I get my cup of instant coffee (please don’t judge me on this), then fire up my computer. I open emails, myLot, New York Times wordle then quordle on two different sites. Mostly I’m able to solve the wordle/quordle but occasionally there will be a word that stumps me. This morning, I had all the letters and the last three were ‘LET’. ‘G’ and ‘A’ were the other letters but I had them in the wrong places. The only solution left was ‘aglet’. I had an idea I’d heard this word before, maybe from @Fleura, and sure enough, when I googled ‘aglet’, it came with a definition. An ‘aglet’ or ‘aiglet’ is the little plastic or metal end on the end of, typically, a shoelace. Other cords or drawstrings might also have an aglet which stops the fibres unravelling. Being firm, the aglet also makes it easier to feed the cord through eyelets, etc. So now you know. The photo is of the lawn and garden outside our unit at our house-sit. It’s a shame I didn’t think to shift the hose.
