⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ STARE
🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ LIMBO
🟩🟨🟨⬜⬜ BLUFF -- I know playing two F's was not very smart. I couldn't think of anything better.
🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 BULLY -- Bad turn. I later noticed this was a previous solution
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BULKY -- Bulgy was another possibility.

My friend said today's Wordle is pretty easy, so I played for the first time and correctly got the word in my third attempt — beginner's luck?!

I've seen people post their Wordle results here and on Facebook, but have avoided the game for some reason. But my friend got me interested by playing the NYT Connections game. Gateway drug?

So how do I get those point scores? Be a subscriber?



EDIT: Found it! Oh, the number is the Game Number. Duh!

I seriously thought I'd fail Connections for the first time today with one mistake left and two sets to go, but fortunately I …
said four words aloud.

I almost did, but then I noticed there were five different pits, so I checked the other three words, and noticed that they, and one of the pit words, had something in common


Speaking of Connections...anyone else see this season's Only Connect final (on BBC2, or YouTube)?

My coworker says he uses RADIO for his first word half the time.

I wonder if the Wordle people are like the Wheel of Fortune people and pick words that thwart the typical choices.

Anybody else see "trim, buff, cut, ripped, jacked" and wondered where "slim" and "chiseled" were? One reason I had problems: I didn't know what "swole" meant.

Wordle was tough for me today — I couldn't think of any words after the second guess. I had to come back after an hour to rethink it.

Okay, I'll ask: what kind of a drink is "mate"?

And when did "martini up" become a popular phrase? "Martini, straight up," I have heard.

Another rookie mistake. I was stuck on
_ E R_ _
and was ready to give up until my friend said that the word could have more than 1 of the same letter. Duh. I got the word immediately!
