But more importantly…

Nicely done @Smapti!

Although I reused a bad letter on my second try, it narrowed it down to two possible words.

Took me five. Kind of tricky.

I could only see one word after my second pick. Checked wordlebot and it was the only word.

Back to my most frequent attempts to correct guess.

I mistook askew as the name of Agnew. It threw me off the scent.

I struggled with today’s, too.

More coffee.

Congrats, @Smapti! I hope to join you on (checking calendar) Thursday. :slight_smile:

I propose those of us who managed consecutive 100 undefeated games be legally permitted to add M.W. (Master of Wordle) after their names.

I believe this is 2 "2"s in a row for me. Unfortunately, also last week was my first loss ever in the live game.

A nice satisfying three. I did think of ASKED, but “ED” endings are rare (if used at all), so I took a minute to come up with an alternative.

Nice going, @Smapti! I’m 10 days away from my M.W. (and I hope I didn’t just jinx it!)

Took me a while to come up with my third word…really thought I had it when I saw the A and S turn green, but wasn’t so lucky. Happy with the 4 in any case.

Can I include the results from “unlimited” sites? I’ve been keeping track of words and how many guesses it took. I am up to 589 consecutive wins (ROGER was my last loss).
For the real game I am 51 days away until I might make it.

I got the Nerdle in 2 today. Don’t think I’ll ever top that.

I kinda like this 3.

Tomorrow’s Wordle seems like a commentary on current events.
