I'd like to offer some free gambling books to my Wordle friends. Here is what I've got as of 8/23/26. All I ask is that you repay me the cost of shipping via UPS. Let me know which specific books you want, as pictured below.

Funny—I’ve been also thinking about offering one of my books. Would any Wordle players want Stanford Wong’s “Optimal Strategy for Pai Gow Poker” book?
If not, I’ll offer it to the Pai Gow Poker thread.

Not only that but that book is based on California rules where the joker is fully wild. Certainly a book that never did much for me, as much as I respect the author.
Feel free to mention it to anyone.

What is this, Only Connect, with the category with five possibilities? Okay, to be fair, "as described," only the four were correct.
For those of you not familiar with the wrestling terms:
Face (aka Babyface) - a "good guy"
Heel - a "bad guy"
Jobber - someone who consistently loses, usually a no-name (to "job," or "do a job," is to lose a match)
Kayfabe - the pretense/facade that everything is real
