Is it just my gutter brain or does that sound sleazy?

erm.. not my intention. :oops: I was referencing Jude's preference for 'June fun' and teasing out the puzzle over more attempts. Breaking the mold (and finishing in more tries than the 'three's a charm' ) would follow along with that.

Since today's trend seems to be 5/6, it looks like I'm back in the mold:

Wordle 702 5/6

🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜
⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨
⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜
⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

And I just barely squeaked by in the Deluxe Waffle:

#deluxewaffle52 0/5

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

wafflegame.net

But I got the maximum stars in the Daily Waffle:

#waffle486 5/5

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
🟩⭐🟩⭐🟩
🟩🟩⭐🟩🟩
🟩⭐🟩⭐🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

🔥 streak: 23
🏆 #waffleelite
wafflegame.net

So all in all, a totally ideal day.

I know that, Rose. I was pulling your leg. ;)

I don't recall. I use whatever five-letter word pops into my head at the time. I'll check when I go home.

I usually like it to take more guesses, but I gotta admit, this was kind of satisfying:

Wordle 704 2/6

⬜🟨🟩🟩🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

(it was mainly luck, since my first guess narrowed it down so drastically)

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.
