Start Making SENSE

 

Here's my post on the New York Time's Wordle Review comments for yesterday.

A ten-day trip to Maui seems to have been good for my game — it was certainly beautiful and relaxing.  I missed my routine of posting and reading the Wordle comments — but I had to get out of my normal routine in order to fully embrace the vacation. 

Guess #1 gave me a bunch of letters again today (S & E, in position, and N, out of position) — and only 7 solutions remaining.  Of course, based on information from Game #952 (SNAKE on 1/27/2024), I knew only 5 solutions remained — which gave me confidence to play aggressively on Guess #2.  SINCE wasn’t the solution — but it left only one possibility for Guess #3.  I had the good SENSE to type it in and watched happily as the letters all turn green.  I tied The Bot and bested the (current) NYT avg by more than a full guess (3 vs. 4.1).  It’s my third straight day under par (6th, if you count my 4 on PIPER when the avg was 5.2). 

Hopefully, I can post some pictures from Hawaii soon.

Take care and stay safe.

PS:  Yesterday, the temperature broke 70° F here in southern Lower Michigan.  Today, I saw snowflakes.  If that's not "extreme weather," I don't know what would qualify.
