I didnβt think livid would be the answer so soon after Christmas, but I never saw LD as an ending until I was hit over the head with it.

Iβm so mad. Yesterday I tried to sync my non-NYT play with a non-member account, and it took away my streak! So I played LEARN again and got it in one. But today I have a two on my two-day streak, so it could be worse, I guess.

If youβre on your phone, i saw that blur was missing from the list. But then i made it scroll up, and blur was there. Does this help?

Yes thanks! If I scroll then I can see that. Didnβt have to do that before, but now I understand, thatβs what people were explaining.
Thanks!

My free use of Wordlebot has ended, but I suspect it would tell me that my starting word was poor and I was lucky to get a three.
Itβs true I was lucky today, but MAUVE ranks surprisingly high on my list of starters by average score, so Iβm keeping it.

The only vowels coming at the very end of the word is not my strength. This officially begins a 4 streak for me, which is not the way I was hoping to start this next 100 games.
