Fatpete said: I am aware of that. Recently however I have noticed that when socializing with intelligent, educated people under the age of thirty five, I have become increasingly aware of them being blissfully unaware of phrases that I consider to be very common. Two examples that spring to mind are "something for your bottom drawer" and "he knows his onions" I would therefore be prepared to risk a small wager that there ae now a significant number of people who think "blonde" is a six letter word and are totally unaware that there is a five letter version. By sheer coincidence I had to explain ‘Knows his onions’ to a friend (half my age) who is steeped in book learning, but had no clue what I was talking about and thought I may have been insulting him when I said ‘You know your onions.’ This happened on Sunday. I conclude that he can play the age card all he likes, but it isn’t cutting the mustard… | |||

| A comfortable three. Usual openers and that only left one viable option that I could see. XXYYX XXXYX More importantly though, it is fifteen years and one day since your first journal post on here Pete. I clicked on the first page of your journal rather than the last in error and noted the date. Fifteen years! I still had hair back then.* * That is a complete falsehood. Thank you for making this a fun place to be. There are not many corners of the world where tyre pressures, hatred of cheese, word problems and cunnilingus all blend seamlessly. | |||

| Four for me and I’d say it was fortunate to be four. The third guess worked very well, but it could easily have been a bust. Getting the two letters in those positions with my opener presented me with my least favourite Wordle scenario, as there were just so many potential options. YXXXY XYXXX XYYYX | |||

| A five second two. When it falls well, it really falls well. It was a 50/50 on the second guess as I think the only other option has already been a word of the day. GGGXG | |||

| Three for me. All the correct letters were revealed after the second guess and that only left one option. YXXYY XXYYX | |||

| A three today which made six threes and a five in the previous seven days. Thus, a mass of fives is on the way soon! A very belated happy new year to all too. XYXXX GXXYY | |||

| An inevitable three, given my openers. After the second guess, I could only see one option. XXXYX GGXXY | |||

Post Edited: 30.12.2023 @ 00:11 AM by Bod A quite taxing four. Third guess was interesting as I was convinced it would not be correct, but by the same token, it wasn’t a tactical guess either…YXXXG XXXXY XYYYG | |||

| A three which worked perfectly and fortuitously with my usual openers. Third guess had a slight tactical element but that wasn’t the objective. XXXGX XXGXX | |||

| A rapid three. Usual starters teed it up perfectly. XXXXX XGGXX | |||

| An almost instant two. Standard opener and a fluke guess which I’ll happily take. XGGXX | |||

| Another five. Should have stuck with the usual two openers, rather than just the first one. XXYGX XGXGX XGGGG XGGGG | |||

| A pleasing three. XGXXX XXYXY Alas, I know not how to relax a lip although I do believe that cheese helps… | |||
