My lack of being able to quickly guess a 5-letter word is balanced by my ability to almost randomly guess a country by its shape.
The dumbest thing I've ever bought
was a 2020 planner.

"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

I think this is the first day I've gotten Hurdle but not Wordle. Usually it's the other way around. :P

Hurdle can be a crap shoot as one isn't in control of the roll of the dice, so to speak.

The Rule: it’s a joke, people. I was Just alluding to previous discussions that V and I tend to use disclosed information in subsequent Wordle attempts.

That is, we use the green & yellow letters. As opposed to trying out new words without those letters.

2 is just luck, I feel. 3 is still some skill.

I often begin with the same 2 words, but not always. That is helpful in getting it in 3 most days. Getting it in 1 or 2 is luck (good luck). :)
