whoops. When I was entering my solution I transposed them. For some reason when I go to upload my screenshot I get a forbidden error not allowed to access that resource from this website. That is why I manually enter my game results. I guess I was just super tired last night. But yes pooch and mooch were my last 2 guesses. I was kind of surprised it accepted pooch as a valid guess. Nice catch... I'm only human. And yes,I know what color a green apple is lolQuote: DogHandQuote: avianrandy4 tonight February 13

I think it was Gordon yesterday who asked a new member what color a green apple is it don't remember which thread it was in. Fairly sure it was Gordon may have been Dieter though. A lot of times wordle thread won't accept my screenshot but sometimes it does. Maybe I'm just not holding my tongue the right way lol

You can almost make a case for the yellows and greens to be in any combination.
A "spike" is something that goes up and then goes back down, like a hump, lump, and mound; meanwhile, a "price bump" fits in more with hike, jump, and rise.
Meanwhile...in what film did Tom Hanks play a character named Phillips? Woody, Gump, and Sully, I know.

Evidently, squad was the solution on 5/2/22. Have they ever repeated a solution before? I must admit to needing to cheat with a Wordle calculator today.

Wiz,
https://wordfinder.yourdictionary.com/wordle/answers/ shows SQUAD as having been the answer to #296. That was played on Monday, 11 April 2022.
As for repeating answers, did you miss CIGAR on Feb. 2nd? See my rant at

The next day I posed a question which got no responses: https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/questions-and-answers/casual-corner/36983-wordle/217/#post973297

Wordle isn't loading and Thrice is evidently not on Pacific time as I played late yesterday and it was apparently the 2/18 game.

Quote:By New York Times Games
Feb. 1, 2026
Hey, Wordlers! We have some exciting news to share. Starting today, we will begin adding previously run words back into play. There are still many first-time answers to debut, but also more chances for those magical, serendipitous moments when Wordle overlaps with real life. Happy solving!
This means that Wordle will now be much harder, since past answer lists can no longer be used to eliminate possibilities. In a way, it's like the difference between playing blackjack from a shoe as opposed to a CSM 😠<snip>

So what are your thoughts on this "black day for Wordle"?
Are you in favor of recycling past answers?
For that matter, are you in favor of the March 27, 2023 decision to stray from the list of 2309 Wordle answers?
Dog Hand?

I figured this day would come eventually. I guess it’s better that they mix in a few past words instead of playing out the entire word list and then starting over. Keeps it more interesting and better for new players.
