Ever SINCE I got back from vacation...


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

Wordle 999 2/6

🟩⬜⬜🟨🟩   7 WL
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

WordleBot
Skill 87/99
Luck 93/99
Streak 750

And to think — I almost wimped out and went for the guaranteed 3!

Guess #1 shared the bounty of S & E (in position, as the first and last letters) and N (out of position, destined for either Letter 2 or 3).   Based on my (nearly infallible) record-keeping from Game #983 (SENSE on 2/27/2024), I knew that only 7 solutions remained — and 3 of those were previously used.  Instead of playing CRISP (for a "sure thing" 3), I threw caution to the winds and played SINCE.  It was a happy sight to watch all the letters turn green.  I’ve been Under Par 9 out of the last 10 days, beat The Bot again (2 vs 3), and bested the (current) NYT avg (2 vs. 3.7).  It's the BIG 1K tomorrow.

Take care and stay safe.
