Wordle #1890 August 22: 2/6 eagle

🟩🟨🟨⬜⬜ PARSE / GYYBB
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PRAWN / Correct

With G = 1, Y = ½, & B = 0, I scored 2 and 5.

I spent less than one minute solving this one. I first thought of PRANK, but that's a past answer.

Lifetime I now have 15 more birdies than pars.

Eagle #155 and back-to-back eagles for this old dog.

My streak is at a new personal high of 505.

Connections Puzzle #1168 August 21: perfect

🟨🟨🟨🟨 YYYY
🟦🟦🟦🟦 BBBB
🟪🟪🟪🟪 PPPP
🟩🟩🟩🟩 GGGG

Today I did not see the green KINDS OF MELON Connection.

My streak is at 16.
