Nice Eldy & Inanna. Phew indeed V.

Wordle 469 2/6 I tried one of WordleBot's other top starter words today

Slate. Having the 'L' in the 2nd spot helped eliminate a lot of words in this particular case.

Rose, “same pinch” on the starter word. ;). And of course, yesterday I didn’t start with crane. And the solution was scorn.

Help yourself to a pizzelle! They're sort of like waffles, although I often call them Lembas bread. :D

I haven't had pizzelle in ages! I'm not even entirely sure if I remember how to pronounce it correctly, but fortunately my Italian grandmother isn't here to disapprove. :P

This was linked from Waffle today:

World wide web hunt

It looks like it might be fun, but I don't understand the instructions. Anyone try it?

Okay so... it feels almost too simple...

The first answer is
Hidden text.
The game it's telling you to go to - waffle. So type in waffle
and then it gives you the place to find the next clue
Hidden text.
If you go to "how to play" or the ? in the upper corner of the waffle game, the instructions include examples-
So the second answer is:
Hidden text.
The words funky and clone are being 'connected' by the word dingo, so the answer is dingo
then it gives you the next clue
Hidden text.
Which is to play the original wordle game and enter today's answer
so today's answer is
Hidden text.
sting
that gives the next clue
Hidden text.
Which is go to settings - click on the 'twitter' (i.e. the blue birds) link, and click the heading image to find the thing that is labeled $2 - so enter that
the answer is
Hidden text.
solutions
That has gotten me up to this clue:
Hidden text.
If you want to find the Word, play Wordle
But what if the word is Squared?
But I'm currently at a loss, as the answer is not
Hidden text.
quordle, dordle, or squared
So I'm stuck...

Okay that was really a pain - but found the answer, it's
Hidden text.
Squaredle
Playing it now...

and the final answer is
Hidden text.

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
