I knew three of the four blues:
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
but had never heard of William Carlos Williams; I figured it was either Carlos or Widener

I actually have heard of William Carlos Williams, but in the context of the game, I never would have gotten it!

Wordle #1916 September 17: 3/6 birdie

⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 PARSE / BYBBY
⬜🟨🟨⬜🟨 LEANT / BYYBY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 THETA / Correct

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

I spent about ten minutes solving this one. I wasted a LOT of time thinking of words that end in T until I realized that the T in spot 5 was YELLOW.

Lifetime I now have 16 more birdies than pars.

A "no greens until the end" game for this old dog.

My streak is at a new personal high of 531.
