I had a feeling green was a category, but I just chose the wrong four out of the five four times

Other than Oasis, I had no clue about the bands

🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ STACK / GGGBB
🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ STALL / GGGBB

With G = 1, Y = ½, & B = 0, I scored 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, (repetitive, eh?) and 5.

I worried that I would fail, which would be extremely embarrassing after starting with three greens on turn one.

I spent about six minutes solving this one.

My streak is at 94.

Yes using probing word (that couldn’t have been the answer but would have eliminated more possible answers) would have been a better route. I made the same error today.

On turn 3 I knew the S was either the 2nd or 5th letter, so LOANS was a desperation try.

I spent about five minutes solving this one.

My streak is at 95.

I would have never gotten the orange ones on their own. I kept looking for words you could add a letter to; "ringlet" + a is an anagram of triangle, and "lock" + a is an anagram of cloak

MACHO
FEIST
BINGE
DIRGE
RIDGE

With yesterday's word being PSALM, I decided to try something other than the usual SLATE. I also tried the Wordlebot strategy again, which helped. BINGE was probably a good guess for my third answer, but then I chose DIRGE, which made me feel clever but was probably too obscure for the game.

I got the first three easily, but could not figure out the category for the last one, even by imagining Carol Burnett reading the clues to me in the $10,000 Pyramid chair. I looked up whether she was ever really on the Pyramid, and she was, but I was likely actually thinking of Vicki Lawrence.

Wordle #975 February 19: 3/6 birdie

⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩 STARE / BBBYG
🟨🟨⬜⬜🟩 RIDGE / YYBBG
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PRICE / Correct

With G = 1, Y = ½, & B = 0, I scored 1½, 2, and 5.

DOH! I forgot that RIDGE was yesterday's answer. Talk about having no short-term... what's the word? ;-)

The puzzle started like yesterday's, with STARE giving BBBYG, so I wanted to make the same turn two guess as I used then, but I thought that was RIDGE (it was actually DRONE).

I spent about two minutes solving this one.

My streak is at 97.

Based on seeing my friend's 6/6 result today, I decided on an unconventional starting word, then used the Wordlebot strategy. I thought they might try to trick us with a double letter, so went with HATCH then CATCH. They went with the common letter M!

Wordle #977 February 21: 3/6 birdie

⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ STARE / BBBBB
⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 WOUND / BBYBG
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BUILD / Correct

With G = 1, Y = ½, & B = 0, I scored 0, 1½, and 5.

I spent about one minute solving this one.

My streak is at 99.

As for the blues, I thought the connection was ___ MAN: COMPANY, PIANO, SUPER, and... ?
