Dunno the word. Got lucky.

I’m pretty sure that, at some time or other, I’ve seen an adjectival form of it (that is, with a three-letter suffix added to it). So I just guessed it without the three-letter suffix.
It’s the current equity trend, @urodacus: those charitable Scholardle folks toss an occasional liberal-arts sop to scientifically ignorant people like me.

Today’s must be a really weird one. I have all the letters but not their places, and can’t figure it out.

Atomic number 30, but more so.

It’s an adjective form, an adjective derived from a noun. We sometimes add a certain vowel to make a noun into an adjective. But English being the way it is, with this particular noun, the final consonant, which can be pronounced in two different ways in English (or at least two), would be pronounced differently from the way it would have been pronounced without that added vowel. So I guess someone, at some time or another, decided to add another consonant, one that is usually pronounced in only one way (at least in English).
TL;DR: My surname should give you another hint.

No, I was talking about yesterday’s. But thanks, I was about to try that word (or combination of letters with that ending…)
