I often look at it that way too.
And I basically do the arithmetic by comparing the twos and sixes (still got 4 more sixes than 2’s, so that’s a +8) but I’ve got five more 3’s than 5’s so that’s a -5, and miraculously no losses so I don’t have to figure out how to score a loss. (I’d probably just count it as 7.) Net +3 after 142 games, so 3/142 ~ .02 above par, or 4.02.

Neither hide details nor blur spoiler are working for me at the moment. Anyone have any idea why?

Using the same starter as RTFirefly, I focused on the last letter; pairing with N it seemed possible it could easily be a D, E, G, or Y. O was also possible but less likely to be standard English.
For some reason the Y appealed to me, so I ended up with a 3.
I would tally it separately: x wins averaging y score with z losses.

Really, Wordle? I know I had a couple of brain farts and only squeaked a win, but did you have to pull out that non-word?

Weird Al captures my feelings today:
Don’t know what I was thinkin’ of,
guess I just wasn’t too bright
-I Lost On Jeopardy!
Did my usual opening ‘don’t have enough info to guess intelligently yet’ trio of SLANT, CHORE, DUMPY which got me 4 letters, and after looking at all the valid combinations, PRIMO (the solution!) was the only thing that came to mind. And I was having exactly the same thought about it as Terminus Est: this damn thing isn’t even a word!
But I was typing it in anyway as my fourth try, and as I get to the last letter, I go “wait, PRIMP is an actual word!” And so I type that P in the last spot and hit Enter before I remember: my solution had to have an O!
Where’s that head-slap emoji from the old board when I really need it? Sheesh.
Maybe I’ll go play today’s Heardle to get my mind off it.

Not bad for just getting off an all-night flight with no sleep, at 4:15 am in my home time zone.
I figured there was a word I wasn’t seeing, and that PRIMO would help me get some letters in the right spots. I didn’t expect it to be the answer!

The Wordle for June 14 really annoyed me. I got four letters in my first guess, but all of them were out of place. I spent a huge amount of time trying to rearrange them in my head, but couldn’t come up with an answer and gave up. In the middle of last night I woke up and thought “Aw, shit!”

I found that tough. PRIMO is a word I have heard but it isn’t much used in the UK. Perhaps it is a NY Times addition?
AwShit has six letters, so that can’t be the Wordle.
