There’s an answer list?

I’ll admit I occasionally use [crosswordsolver.org](http://crosswordsolver.org), but its word list seems to be from a pretty thorough dictionary, so I have to filter the results to words that I think are common enough to be possible answers.

Yes, probably several of them I would imagine. I doubt it would be of any help in figuring out the words in a current puzzle, as it’s just a list of what the answers were on previous days. I just check it once in awhile if I’m curious about when or how often a word has been used before.

It wouldn’t be terribly hard to write a regular expression app that would search the answer list for words matching particular patterns. It could be a problem if there’s a word that had never been used before.

Another of thos puzzles I like where solving one word also gives useful info for another. PURSE gave me the R for CARRY, otherwise could have been CRAZY.

Last word could have been BULLY, BULKY, or GULLY (and maybe others), so I went with BULKY to get the most info.

Right, but it probably wouldn’t be worthwhile since quordle uses pretty much every 5 letter word and even some slang, foreign and non-words 😆

I don’t think it uses nearly all the 5-letter English words. When I use crosswordsolver I see lots of words I’ve never seen nor heard before. There cold be a dozen valid answers, but only one that I think is common enough to be in quordle.

I’ve seen foreign words, but they’re always something that is common enough for English speakers to recognize, like VOILA.

I think we’re also somewhat indoctrinated by the Scrabble rules to not use proper nouns. Sometimes it’ll be something like PETER, which has a common usage like “peter out”. And I was caught out a bit the first few times I saw Greek letters, like GAMMA and OMEGA.

I played yesterday, but I got pulled away and then forgot to post. I got another 8 - I didn’t see Prize for some reason. I went with Pride first, and then I was sure it was Prime. Nope…the elusive Z strikes again. ⚡

> What kind of birds do you have visiting?

I wrote a book below - lol, so I’ll put this in “Hide Mode”

> **Bird Story Time**
>
> Mostly the ubiquitous types like Steller’s Jays, Juncos, Black Headed Chickadees, and a few other light brown or tan’ish song birds (not sure the types). There also are Seagulls and Crows…the scavengers that they are getting into people’s garbage cans and such, I still enjoy watching them.
> 
> I have also seen Bushtits (cute little things!), and a few Spotted Towhees too. And an occasional Owl, and also Pileated Wood Pecker (as well as the rare sighting of the Northern Red Flicker I had a while back that I told you about). I’ve seen two House Finches that liked to sit on our large rosemary bush…they are pretty birds, but I don’t see them often at all.
> 
> And I also see Hummingbirds now and again too…our neighbor has a feeder, so it’s fun to see them come over here. I don’t like putting bird feeders out with seeds or suet…I feel it’s too much of a death trap with all the neighborhood cats around (three of them now). I just toss a few peanuts for the Steller’s, and small ones for the Towhees too if they are around.
> 
> One of the Steller’s Jays was a regular for a long time…he had a distinct personality and would hang out each morning right outside my kitchen window (on a Camilla tree) as I made breakfast. I’d toss peanuts and also talk to him and play music sometimes too. He seemed to like that. Sadly, he disappeared recently…it could be a female and she is nesting, but not sure. There is a new one now - very different personality and so full of spunk - he comes right up to the window ledge to beg for peanuts, where my other one never did that.
> 
> The Juncos have made a nest in our rockery wall that lines our driveway a few times…they had one recently and they sound off the alarms (clicking-like noises) if you get too close. We also had a Bushtit nest once too…they make interesting nests - looks like a long sock! It was right outside our living room window, and when open you’d hear the chorus of babies at feeding time. We also have had bird nests built in our old 1950’s kitchen wall exhaust fan (it no longer works). The cats go crazy when the babies are all chirping in there, which sounds like they are actually in the kitchen - lol.
> 
> Lastly, I just had a very rare sighting of a Yellow Warbler…never seen before anywhere around here, much less on my property. She was flitting about and singing in the Camilla tree. I had to look that one up…really pretty birds! That was such a treat to see.

Bird talk

> **Summary**
>
> We have a lot of Robins, Blue and Grey Jays, Cardinals, Bluebirds, House Wrens, Mourning Doves, Crows, several kinds of Woodpeckers including the Pileated. A lot of hawks, mostly Red Tailed but also Red Shouldered, Broad Wing, and Coopers. We have a pair of Great Horned Owls that have been nesting here for several years. Bald Eagles and Peregrine Falcons on occasion. We also have a lot of Turkey Buzzards and Black Vultures around here.  
> We have a pond so we get to see some waterfowl too usually Blue or Green Herons, but I saw a Belted Kingfisher a few weeks ago, awesome bird!  
> I have seen the Yellow Warblers, very pretty! We see a lot of the similar looking American Goldfinches when the Blue Flax goes to seed, they go crazy over that.  
> I saw a Northern Flicker this morning, very cool bird.  
> I’ve never seen a Bushtit before, they look adorable. We don’t have Steller Jays here, wow, wish we did!

Right, I meant to say common 5 letter words. Judging by the possibilities that come up on Scordle and Wordle Analyzer there are actually a LOT more words I don’t know than the ones I do. 😆

> Sounds like you have some really great birds to watch! We don’t get the cardinals or bluebirds out here…they both are so pretty. I looked up the Belted Kingfisher…cool looking birds! I guess we have them here too, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one. Having a pond on your property is great for attracting some of the water fowl and such! We have a Blue Heron nesting area somewhat nearby, which I haven’t been to…keep meaning to check it out. They are also in the large nature park I frequent too in swampy areas or down at the beach…it’s always a treat to see them. I have seen Eagles out there, as well as Ospreys and Hawks too (not sure the types). And Owls…there are several species.
> 
> Speaking of owls…a little side story: a long time ago when I had two dogs, we were walking along a trail in that park, and there was an owl sitting not far from us on a low pine branch. I stopped to say hello and then all of a sudden it spread it’s huge wings and flew down right at us! I had to quickly drop to the ground, and I hoped it didn’t get to my dogs…thankfully it just flew off from there. There may have been a nest nearby it was trying to protect, but I didn’t see one. Now I just let them be if I see them up in trees nearby - lol.
> 
> I just found out about eBird…people report the birds they see out at that park - I had no idea some of the birds they reported were even there…I’m going to go out there soon and will bring my binocs. 😃
