They're Creepy And They're Kooky

Yesterday's Wordle solution was THING.  You know -- this guy...  

For more Wordle nerdihood, I refer you to my post on the New York Time's Wordle Review comments yesterday.

Extreme luck and my patented Wordle Tracking System®️ continued me on my “Under Par” way this morning.  Guess #1 was “extraordinarily lucky” according to The Bot (and who am I to disagree), providing me H & N as Letters 2 & 4, respectively.  I knew from previous play (most recently Game #882 — THINK — on 11/18/2023) that there were really only four words remaining after Guess #1 (adjusting for previous solutions).  I also knew that THANK was The Bot’s favorite word for Guess #2 in that scenario (it’s a favorite of mine as well), so that was an easy decision.  I was a little disappointed that the only green letter I added was the opening T — but I consoled myself with one THING:  the knowledge that it was the only solution remaining.  I tied The Bot, bested the (current) NYT avg (3 vs. 3.7), and achieved a stress-free Sea of Green.  The Magic Number is 5 to reach 700 consecutive wins.  

Hope your weekend is off to a great start.

Take care and stay safe.
