Story highlights "I thought it was a hidden message to the Russians," she joked

She gave an interview hosted by Recode on Wednesday

(CNN) Hillary Clinton came prepared with more than one zinger about the mystery word of the day: Covfefe.

At Recode's Code Conference on Wednesday, one of the moderators brought up covfefe -- a word that took on a life of its own after Trump tweeted a few minutes after midnight: "Despite the constant negative press covfefe." (The tweet has since been deleted).
