Wordle 349 2/6 🟨⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 STARE PHASE Lucky first guess gave me three letters, two in their correct positions. The only options that came to mind were CHASE and PHASE, and the latter just appealed to me more. > [@SeaSun](#): > > …Also, what’s interesting is I am not actually signed onto my browser, so you don’t have to be, but maybe since you have been signed on whilst playing Wordle, it is always going to be tied to that profile. But if a person never signs in, then it doesn’t matter. I had never been aware of being signed in to Chrome, but apparently that’s what clicking on the Person 1 icon (which was brand new to me as of June 1) is equivalent to. I guess I can’t blame corporations for trying to increase their profits, but some ways in which they do so are more annoying than others. (Again, I’m assuming here that the β€˜signed in’ or Person 1 status facilitates Google’s marketing of information about the person signed in.) Meh. ---
