Our old friend, "what else could this possibly be" - in this case, "The Longest." Okay, it could have been "yard"...

I have never heard of "mode" as a musical term before now. If I understand it right, C Major and A Minor are both modes.

Wordle #1797 May 21: 2/6 eagle

⬜🟨🟩⬜🟩 PARSE / BYGBG
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 AGREE / Correct

With G = 1, Y = ½, & B = 0, I scored 2½ and 5.

I spent less than two minutes solving this one. After turn 1, the A had to be the first or fourth letter. Since I couldn't think of any answer of the form __RAE, I knew the answer would fit A_R_E. A few moments of reflection lead to AGREE.

Lifetime I now have 14 more birdies than pars.

Eagle #140 for this old dog.

My streak is at a new personal high of 412.

Today I did not see the purple ___ MUSTARD Connection.

My streak is at 16.

Am I getting dumber, or have the questions been much harder of late?

I hate five-word clues - but I hate six-word clues (peach, pumpkin, chess, moon, shoofly, pecan) with a fiery passion

I don't think I have ever heard "peach" used in terms of someone's rear end
