Wordle #1899 August 31: 2/6 eagle

⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ PARSE / BBBBB
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MOUND / Correct

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

I spent a few seconds solving this one. MOUND has been my go-to choice after a first-word blank longer than PARSE has been my first word.

Wordle #1258 November 28 from 2024 is the first time I tried MOUND:

Eagle #156 and Sea of Greens #186 for this old dog.

Why is it spaghetti, ravioli, gnocchi, and tortellini, which are all plural, but lasagna, which is singular (the plural is lasagne)?
