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

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 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.

My score was increased by two points yesterday. The first clue on question 5 was, ""Plofkraak" is a Dutch term for using silicone and explosives to break into what type of machines?" My guess of "safes" was accepted. They were going for "ATM." Anyway, that increased my score to 9 for 9/17/26.
