"You ranked in the top 45% of players today."

I guess I'm one of the few people who have never watched the "streaming show" from question 1: only 8% whiffed, while 48% got it on the first clue.

Today's average is 9.

Scoring update for game #1130: My response of "Cohen" was accepted for question 2 on August 2, raising my score from 1 to 2:

Call off the search parties - I'm back after a week at Gen Con in Indianapolis, where, apparently, I caused the first torando to hit the convention area in the 20 or so years since it moved from Milwaukee. I had no idea that the effects at those Wizard of Oz showings at The Sphere were that realistic...

Wordle #1873 August 5: 2/6 eagle

🟩⬜⬜🟨⬜ PARSE / GBBYB
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 POSIT / Correct

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

I spent about one minute solving this one. After PARSE, I guessed the answer was POS__. The list of 2309 answers has only three such words: POSER, POSIT, and POSSE. Since POSER (R is out) and POSSE (S cannot be #4) could not be the answer, POSIT was my choice.

If my guess that O was the second letter had been wrong, then PUSHY would be the only remaining choice.

Lifetime I now have 11 more birdies than pars.

Eagle #149 for this old dog.

My streak is at a new personal high of 488.

My streak is at 20.

I figured Wrangler and Gap were jeans, but had never heard of either of the other two (I guessed Cape Cod and Tudor at first)
