If you want to tighten it, then clockwise.

I sometimes wonder if younger people understand clockwise/anti clockwise when they only see digital clocks or use their phones for the time 😂

Not heard the righty tighty, lefty loosy, before, but certainly makes sense - I’ll remember that! Whingey, let us know nothing fell out of your first floor window.
