Yesterday: Wordle 678 4/6 πŸŸ¦β¬›πŸŸ¦β¬›β¬› β¬›β¬›πŸŸ¦πŸŸ¦πŸŸ¦ πŸŸ¦πŸŸ¦β¬›β¬›πŸŸ¦ 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 ALIEN STAIR RABBI CIRCA Started this at 8:30 am and was stuck after two, so I set it aside for a bit. Then I got busy, and then our wifi went out. I almost didn’t get to finish, but I got back to it at about 10:30 pm, and was just as stuck as before. I finally hit on RABBI and was _sure_ that hat to be it. After that it was down to CAPRI and CIRCA. Definitely the longest time between starting and finishing I’ve ever had. Today: Wordle 679 3/6 β¬›πŸŸ¦πŸŸ¦β¬›πŸŸ¦ πŸŸ¦πŸŸ§β¬›πŸŸ§β¬› 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 IRATE RENAL CEDAR This started feeling a lot like yesterday’s. Got stuck for a while after two, but having the vowels placed really helped. I had to run through the alphabet with R in both places, and CEDAR made the most sense. A hard-earned birdie. ---
