Wordle #1890 August 22: 2/6 eagle

🟩🟨🟨⬜⬜ PARSE / GYYBB
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PRAWN / Correct

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

I spent less than one minute solving this one. I first thought of PRANK, but that's a past answer.

Lifetime I now have 15 more birdies than pars.

Eagle #155 and back-to-back eagles for this old dog.

My streak is at a new personal high of 505.

🟪🟪🟪🟪 PPPP
🟩🟩🟩🟩 GGGG

Today I did not see the green KINDS OF MELON Connection.

My streak is at 16.

I'd like to offer some free gambling books to my Wordle friends. Here is what I've got as of 8/23/26. All I ask is that you repay me the cost of shipping via UPS. Let me know which specific books you want, as pictured below.

Funny�I�ve been also thinking about offering one of my books. Would any Wordle players want Stanford Wong�s �Optimal Strategy for Pai Gow Poker� book?

If not, I�ll offer it to the Pai Gow Poker thread.

Not only that but that book is based on California rules where the joker is fully wild. Certainly a book that never did much for me, as much as I respect the author.

Feel free to mention it to anyone.
