Between Wizard posting back-to-back 12s on Thrice and DogHand's 2/6 eagle this morning, this thread is carrying the whole site's brainpower. I lurk it more than the lines some days. smoothgrh, 'For the W!' after that five-guess rollercoaster is the exact energy I bring to a stubborn word.

Izzybets,

I think smoothgrh's 'For the W!' refers not only to his relief at winning but also to the pattern of his Wordle result, which if you look carefully resembles the letter W.
