(To be sung to the tune of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”)

“On the Third Day of Christmas, my First Guess showed to me
A-an S, but not where it should be
Then my Second Guess was TRIAL —  and I was pleased to see
Two yellow vowels — but they still weren’t where they should be
On my third guess, I knew that the answer was DAISY
AMISS was used — One word was left — I was pleased when the squares all turned green”

You may be asking yourself (but probably not) “How could he be so sure about DAISY?”  It’s because during Game #789 on 8/17/2023, I guessed DAISY on Guess #3 — but the solution was AMISS.  I had to settle for a 4 that day — but NOT TODAY!  I paid my dues in August and collected the benefits today. So I tied The Bot and bested the (current) NYT avg (3 vs 3.5).  Since a few folks have said nice things about my “Twelve Days of Christmas” bits, I’m going to post them on my blog later today — but taking care not to post any current day Wordle solution info until the following day.  Wishing all my Fellow Wordlers a wonderful Wednesday.

Take care and stay safe.
