True, many of those five-letter words are obscure, but there are soooo many more that are in everyday use by the populace. So I will be only posting my Connections solutions from now on. For the record, I guessed the Wordle correctly in one, 10 times and in two, 177 times. It was a good run!

The NYT has changed the Wordle rules. Duplicates are now allowed. At some point, I suppose, triplicates or more. There are currently about 9500 five-letter words in the American lexicon and the Times chose to use only about 1700 of them.
