Hello from the Sturgis SD motorcycle rally, at Mount Rushmore, Keystone SD. That was cool to see yesterday.

Today at Stoneville Saloon in Alzada MT, it’s “Topless Tuesday” (Titty Tuesday). Should be interesting. I wonder what my wife will think. I’ll let you know.

After 2, I saw DUNCE, FENCE, PENCE, MINCE (Wordle 299), WINCE (Wordle 217), and NIECE (Wordle 1800). FENCE seemed like the best thing to try next, even considering that WINCE or MINCE might be ripe for recycling, and the die roll came up my way this time.

SNIPE → Not a bad start. Still like to try a host of other vowels to go with that terminal E, here’s one I can try
CANOE → C was a nice pickup, and can slot in well between N and E. Should I try U, or another E?
DUNCE → Another E it was. I really feel like a… well, you know. I see two possibles for the next guess, therefore,
HENCE → Missed the coin toss. I hope it’s a coin toss…
FENCE

Followup was 3/145, third was Scoredle’s preference out of six (but I think the algorithm messed up here, and I certainly did) and of course I was 2/3 on the crucial birdie putt. On its own, Scoredle guesses the same third guess as I did (after its different followup), but then guesses correctly on the 50-50 to finish with a par.

Worked this one back to front.
PENCE was left, but I knew I wasn’t in danger of a fail.
