I’m coming apart at the seams in terms of playing this game. For some reason, after the second guess I no longer saw the letter S. Never once thought of it, didn’t see the yellow S on the keyboard when I was checking for double letters, nothing. As if the alphabet only had 25 letters.

I sat here staring for 15 solid minutes, but thankfully I could never think of any words that fit the feedback – not counting S! – other than proper names (Edith, Keith) or moving the green I (eight).

Then finally all of a sudden, and for no particular reason, both yellow S’s snapped into view. After my shock at discovering a brand new letter in the alphabet, obvious answer became obvious.

This should have been an easy 3.

When you get a new phone, in a way doesn’t it feel like Christmas or your birthday? I finally got rid of my old crappy iPhone and got a newer nicer iPhone. But, man oh man the news ones are so expensive!!

So, new phone (yay!), but to keep my WORDLE streak going I still need to use my old phone. A bit of a bummer there.

But it’s worth it. Besides, this is WORDLE!!

I’m honestly kinda surprised NYT hasn’t introduced some way of sharing your statistics across devices yet - seems like the kind of thing you could tie into a subscription model to actually make this game profitable.

Annoyingly I was going to go for the correct answer for my second guess but thought “No, it’s more likely that the E will be at the end”. Ah, well.

Sounds like the title of a Wallace & Gromit movie. EXIST would have fit, but I thought of HEIST first, and boom! Gotta love a two.

ASKEW → About what I expected. Try another vowel & common consonants
STEIN → Seems I should have a crack at a 3 here. With S in 3rd, but no ?ESI? or ?ISE?.. unpromising. S in 4th? Before T?
