Wordle has a sense of humor, I see.

Hey, I had the exact same guesses! Why don’t I get a nicely done?

3404

Thanks. I was influenced by the unspoilered comment about some people possibly getting it in one. I went with an opener that fit the criteria for probably being on the answer list. And with the result I got, there was only one possibility that was also a common opener.

So, I’m glad I reasoned it through well, but it doesn’t feel quite as satisfying as getting a 2 out of the blue.

I have 3 2s in my stats, and they all come with an asterisk.

3405

Is there some additional function you get with being a subscriber? I check Wordlebot after every Wordle, and I’m not a subscriber.

3406

Not that I’m aware of any perks of but until I subscribed it appeared I couldn’t access wordlebot because it wouldn’t load my puzzle but I like the subscription anyway.

I’ve tried to resubscribe to my local paper when they have a great limited time offer but I get the runaround every time I try to buy it. So I’m stuck with the NYT. :crazy_face:

3407

Tomorrow’s has I guess a distinctively American word, I think. Hope that’s not a spoiler.

Pure chance (I rotate my starting words), but kind of a fun experience to see those green blocks fill in across the screen!

3409

I’m starting to think the thrill is gone.

3410

I’ve gotten it in 2 2 days in a row! Maybe I should buy lottery tickets.

3411

Better buy two!

Sigh. This one took me six, just do many words with the pattern obtained after two guesses.

I saw rover first, then hover, but neither seemed to fit the “American” hint. Thought maybe I could steal a 3 with mower. Seems only fair it took me 4.

I saw someone’s Facebook post that had six lines all the same as your second.

I cannot tell a lie. Your hint made me think down a different line of enquiry.
