I fear that I'm boring those of you that don't play / aren't interested in Wordle. And I'm certain that I will have something soon to post on a topic of more general interest -- but not today.
I posted this on the New York Time's Wordle Review comments yesterday --
Wordle 931 4/6
⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 SHONE 191 WL
⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 TRAIL 14 WL

Skill 99/99
Luck 33/99
Streak 682
The thing about streaks is: they must end. And so it is with my streak of “under par” games. Having reached a new personal best of 11 days, I found that a strong CABLE has tethered me to the Earth — probably to keep me from “pulling an Icarus.”
Guess #1 gave me E as the last letter today — and Guess #2 provided A & L (both out of position). Based on information from Game #598 (APPLE on 2/7/2023), I knew 13 solutions remained (14 now, I guess — CALVE has been added as a potential solution). I had used AMBLE for Guess #3 in that game and, since it has not been previously used, I tried it again today. Unfortunately, it was *still* not the answer — and it appeared I was down to a coin flip between CABLE and FABLE (although I realized later that GABLE was also a possibility). Having an abysmal track record on coin flips, I heaved a sigh of relief when CABLE turned green. I lost to both The Bot and the (current) NYT avg (3.9 vs 4).
So I finally reached my 300th game solved in 4 guesses. I’m at 293 games solved in 3. If I can put together another serious string of 3-guess solves, I could still get to 300 in each category within the next week. However unlikely, it does give me something for which to strive. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
Take care and stay safe.
