WordleBot made certain to point out how lucky we were! No argument here. :smiley:

772

I noticed that as well. I don’t think it was entirely lucky. I naturally shifted the two yellow letters one to the left and instantly saw the answer. I think with our starting word, that would be natural. So yes, it was lucky the answer was that particular word, but not lucky that we guessed it at this juncture.

773

Lots of twos today. Been awhile for me.

Almost went with Range second, but since I saw Barge and Large, I wanted to check one of those two. I’m happy with a 3, but haven’t gotten a 2 in a while…congrats to those who did!

Used RAVEL to eliminate other possibilities on the RA list (RANCH, RALLY) and it confirmed RANGE. So I’m happy with the par as it was suffering-free.

One of my better runs in a while and the day I come back - another 5. I blame jet lag.
