Wonder what the NYT has said, if anything, about today’s scores. Yes, PARER was a carnage. One of those Xs was mine too. If my notes are correct, I have X/6 for 12x since I started playing on 2021-12-24. The other day (EAGER) my streak ended at 150. To date my longest streak was 267, and that ended a year ago when the Wordle was BEVEL.
