My dog was at the emergency vet hospital overnight. I thought I was going to have to put him down. I got that Wordle today and was like β€œOf all the days…this is NOT my lucky day!” Buuuuut it turns out he just needs to have his spleen out and he’ll be good as new. So it IS my lucky day!!! Woohoo! ---

Welcome to the Wordle thread. πŸ™‚ Can you be sure to put the game number above your colored squares? People play in different time zones and we won’t know if your results are for 11/6 or 11/7. Thanks! ---

They had lots of U’s, I’s, and R’s so I used a word I often end up using for my second guess - CURIO. This left only LIMIT for an easy three. ---
