Actually, I really appreciate those. It makes it easy to find it every day.

Today's was really tough for me:
Wordle 213 5/6

This one stumped me for a while. Ouch. I ended up going with a hail Mary guess on #5 just to narrow the options.

Thought after the second guess, it would be easy. Not so much.

Aren't you the bookmark enthusiast? I'm confused now.

Spoiler:

Not totally sure what "Trons" is (though it accepted it) - I guess multiple copies of the movie Tron?

It's a public weighing machine, apparently. I bet nobody's used that word in conversation for a couple centuries.

(Yes, I know I reuse letters that have already been cancelled out. I’m more focused on actually completing it each day than the number of steps. )

Rough first two guesses!

Kind of funny that the conversation around Wordle on Fallon mirrored portions of the convo here...

Something like this would get buried until I do a monthly-ish sort.

I went the 'save bookmark as homescreen app' route on my phone.

I just played Wordle Archive Day 95. (2/6)

This one was sweet

It's easily identified on the first page of the thread, so that's that. No bookmark needed. When it was in the Friday timewaster thread, if it wasn't bumped you'd have try and figure out where the link was.

On a related note. sad trombones wah wah this morning. I often find I just don't think of words, and today I got stuck on double letter this and double letter than and just couldn't be bothered to reset my thinking, I guess.

that's hilarious

Solved 95 out of the first 100, finishing with a streak of 32.

I've been skipping but I saw people complaining about this one so gave it a try. Could have been worse.

Just barely squeaked this one out...first time it's ever taken me all 6 tries.

I just played Wordle Archive Day 117. (3/6)





This was a weird one. Went from no letters to all letters in the wrong order:

I've started using various starting words rather than sticking to a pattern. I find it fun to go down new paths.

Same here. I like mixing up the starting word, although today's choice was maybe not ideal.

Smidge of luck involved today.

Again, one of those where I almost had it - but there were several options and I went with the wrong one. Note to self for the future: Consider the options. Pick the most likely one rather than the first one that pops into your head.

Wordle 214 4/6

Best one so far.

Well that was amusing!

Spoiler:

It happens to be one of the words I like to start with since it gets two vowels out of the way, tries common N and T, and gets one semi-obscure letter tested (P).

And here I was feeling pretty good about my 2-try solve.

Wordle 214 4/6

I finally got one in three tries. Wohoo!

Bummer, totally fizzled out after a very strong start.
