You know when something's on the tip of your tongue and — as frustrating as it is — you'd prefer to try and think of it rather than look it up? There should be a word for that.

I always experience a phenomenon in which no matter how hard I wrack my brain trying to think of the thing that’s on the tip of my tongue, as soon as I go to look it up or ask somebody, it suddenly comes to my mind right before they tell me the answer.

Happens to me often with wordle. I take a screenshot to send my friend and show her that I’m stuck, and for some reason right after I send it, the answer comes to me.
