Words with Friends has added a word President Trump seemingly created in a misspelled tweet to its dictionary.

The popular mobile web game defines “covfefe” as “the amount and quality of reporting when autocorrect fails you at 3am,” The Associated Press reported.

Urban Dictionary, a website that crowd sources definitions for slang words and phrases, has also posted multiple interpretations of “covfefe” since Trump used the term early Wednesday.

{mosads}“When you want to say ‘coverage’ but your hands are too small to hit the letters on your keyboard,” reads one definition posted Thursday.

“How to make America great again,” says another, referencing Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign slogan.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Wednesday offered a cryptic explanation for Trump’s “covfefe” tweet after the word went viral. Trump’s original tweet — “Despite the negative press covfefe” — was posted shortly after 12 a.m. Wednesday.

“The president and a small group of people knew exactly what he meant,” Spicer told reporters, adding he was not concerned about Trump sending confusing tweets late at night.

Spicer’s refusal to admit Trump may have made a mistake prompted laughter from media members at the White House.

Trump earlier Wednesday made light of his use of “covfefe” in another tweet hours later.

“Who can figure out the true meaning of ‘covfefe’ ??? Enjoy!” he tweeted Wednesday, hours after his original tweet was sent.
