Wordle in six today and I had to cheat again, that's the second time in a week, bas***ds must be deliberately including far more obscure words. I recall reading that the original list of 15,000 words was whittled down to 2,500 common ones but there certainly seems to be a shift to the more obscure. I always classed my own vocabulary as reasonable but it has been found wanting twice in a week now.
So do we class cheating as no longer cheating or do we just walk away right now ? I'll get back to you on that

It took me 10 minutes to come up with a third guess, then a further five to to come up with a fourth (correct) word.
That was only because it was written right in front of me on a packet.
But of a rum word in my opinion

Probably in most people's opinion, I wonder if they have changed the rules ?

Wordle failure, perfectly reasonable word, the fourth attempt gave me the second, fourth and fifth letters but there were too many options, and I had nothing in yellow, fifth attempt the same and sixth also, when the answer appeared it proved to be rather apposite. No complaints and don't really see what I could have done different. Streak ends on seventy two

I did too. Sticky toffee pudding and custard was the highlight of the day. She followed the Hairy Bikers' recipe which she assures me are the best by quite some way. Having eructated more frequently and noisily at her table than any other I am in no position to argue with this and would not dream of even attempting to do so.

No. In fact, when the NYT took it over, they removed many of the more obscure answers.

Thank you
My vocabulary must be much more limited than I thought then

Wordle in five today, could easily have been three or four, it was never going to be six though. My guessing ability is going through a sticky patch

Longest day today sunrise 4:43, sunset 21.22 so a 16 hour and 39 minute day, the A303 in Wiltshire will doubtless be awash with Druids and the like sacrificing goats and muttering nonsense into the clouds. Still, who am I to judge, some of the things I do may be looked at askance by others. At least I'm indoors which is a huge plus

Wordle in six today, after the third attempt I had one vowel in the wrong place and nothing else.
Very lucky then

I found todays unusually tough, third guess gave me the first letter and a vowel in the wrong place. Fourth guess was the same, it took me ages to come up with the fifth, by which point I was sure it was the only option, but it took an age

I really struggled as well today.
I had the first and fourth letters on my second attempt, but it took me three more (and about 15 minutes) to get the bugger!

The intention was to do the same top set as last week only to do it better. But it's hot, very hot, the 137 wasn't pretty but the 145 wasn't too bad at all, the first was the best which is never a bad thing, the last was second best which is often the case as you know you have no more to do after it. and the middle three were good enough. Thanks to Mack, George and Handsome Jeff, happy days, despite the heat
