I think the only time I’ve heard it is in the context of

a strategy:
supposedly a best first word
interesting…
Might have to give that a go, just to be clear, you always read the colors from the inside of the circle outward.
I think I would have gotten today’s answer in 4 instead of 5 had I used the “best” first two words.
My first word has 4 of those same 5 letters
@Klaymen : Exactly!!! That’s about the only time I have ever heard that word!!!
Still royally peeved I didn’t get it. 
Oh shoot!

The 2nd one was kind of a wild guess, but it worked out well.
And now that I think about it, it worked out better than I could have expected, as I learned another rule of sorts.
Summary
I had guessed RURAL as the 2nd guess. Since there was only one R in the final answer, it flagged only the first R as being the right letter in the wrong place. The other R just appeared as a wrong guess. But that meant I knew it was in neither the 1st nor the 3rd position, so I really knew the location of 3 letters after the second guess.

Took me longer than it should have. My first 3 guesses involved me trying to use the letters I knew, but accidentally repeating some letters in places I knew they weren’t. 
Guess 4 was all new letters to learn more new info, which worked out.
Interesting. There are some “words” there that i wouldn’t have expected.
And hey, that’s a new one since the first one i tried. So here’s my second wordle

Had two possibilities for the third try. I chose poorly.

After the second guess, I had all the letters. Took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out the right order…

Took me a long time to guess a third word, problem is running through possibilities, you think phonetically, and this is far from
First no-yellows.
