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.

Don't have the mental energy to do all my normal puzzles after a full day at the con (got through security and into my first panel room before 9:00 a.m., and just got back to my room for the night a bit before 1:00 a.m. :spin:), but I had to at least do Waffle so that Rose's streak doesn't get too far ahead of mine. :D

No worries Eldy, I'm not competitive, I just like puzzles, especially word puzzles. I made several careless mistakes (so far) today.

Wow. One of the worst Wordles I've had in a long time.

THats like my usual performance in wordle nowadays, Rose. I feel like I have cotton wool in my brain.

Nah, I didn't think you were competitive, but I admire how good you are (off days notwithstanding!), and it's fun figuring out Waffle strategy concurrently since we started playing on the same day. :)

Not gonna mess around with Hurdle on my phone (where I don't have AdBlock), but I took a swing at today's Wordle during a lull in Line Con. Playing when I'm this behind on sleep is ... let's say, a "fun" challenge. :P
