Wordle 1,761 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well that wasn't fun. Basically eliminated letters until nothing was left. Brute force with a bunch of luck - no finesse or skill whatsoever. But the streak continues.

Wordle 1,760 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 After my seed word, the next two were confirming the ending and eliminating vowels. Left only a few potentials, I went with the simplest of them in guess four. And the streak continues.

Question - at what point does lack of access to "customer service" become a criminal activity? I've been on hold for an hour trying to clarify debts that LabCorp claim I owe them (insurance issues). They say call back on Weds and Thurs between 8AM and noon. Maybe I just don't pay.

Wordle 1,759 4/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed word was OK, Second guess confirmed beginning, third eliminated repeats and fourth was the only word remaining. The streak continues Funny, I'm not concerned with solving in 2 or 3 guesses, more the path to solving.

Wordle 1,758 5/6 ⬜🟩🟨⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I knew the answer at guess four but didn't like it so went with a more interesting word. Then used it at guess five for the win. The puzzle master is predictably simple. And the streak continues

Wordle 1,757 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟨🟨⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Good elimination word at #2 left a couple of choices - went with the simpler (vocabulary wise) of the two as per the puzzle maker's tendency for the win on guess three. And the streak continues.

Wordle 1,756 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Letter elimination after #3 really left one word. And the streak continues.

Wordle 1,755 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟨 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Again, intuition or luck at guess three for the win. I tend to focus on endings for clarity, this was no different - guess two was testing one ending, guess three a second, but tempered by words I thought the puzzle maker would use. And the streak continues.

Wordle 1,754 2/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 What can I say? Good guess on #2 and the streak continues.

Wordle 1,753 3/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩Guess 2 was an informed choice, and three was really the only word left I could see the puzzle master actually using. The streak continues.

Wordle 1,752 4/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟩⬜⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Simple elimination and a good guess at four and the streak continues.

Wordle 1,751 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Starter word led to a random guess led to a really random guess for #3. Now tied for my longest streak.

Wordle 1,750 3/6 🟩⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Nothing special about this one. The streak continues.

Wordle 1,749 2/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I'd love to say I'm brilliant, but just luck. The streak continues.

Wordle 1,748 3/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩⬜🟨🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Reasoned guess on #3 hits home for the win - intended as an elimination round I was surprised I managed to solve it. And the streak continues.

Wordle 1,747 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 One misplaced letter out of my two starters followed by a pretty good guess three that established the ending. Guess 4 was an double elimination that left the answer. And the streak continues.

Wordle 1,746 4/6 🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟨🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well, all I can say today is the streak continues. Had some really really bad events yesterday and didn't think I'd even get to this today so there's that

Wordle 1,745 2/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Somehow I'm always bummed when I solve it in two - no real skill, more luck or intuition. But here we are - the streak continues.

Wordle 1,744 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Starter word was a bust, second starter pretty good. There were two paths to follow at guess three, which eliminated one and left the answer for #4. The streak continues, but getting close to my all time so it's about time to biff.

No Kings Albany NY. Maybe 2000-3000 people, somewhat disappointing. It was freezing, windy, but no excuse to not turn out.

Wordle 1,743 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟩⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 What a s-show this one was. I finally solved by forcing my two letters into specific spots by elimination - guess 4 was the result of this, and guess five was cleanup after eliminating pretty much every other alternative. And the streak continues.

Wordle 1,742 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Great guess at #3 for the win. Had 1 letter out of my two starters in the wrong place, but intuited the answer (yeah right, pulled it out of my a$$) to continue the streak.

Wordle 1,741 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟨🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟨⬜🟨⬜🟩 🟨⬜🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Used all the elimination techniques on this one and it still took five guesses. Ah well, the streak continues.

Wordle 1,740 4/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Used my usual starter word, second guess was eliminating a common ending, lucky spread of letters, third was eliminating another common ending, and the last was a guess between a couple of remaining potentials. And the streak continues

Wordle 1,739 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That was fun. Both my starter words proved useless, third guess was simply based on probabilities, fourth on ancestry (plus I like the word) and the fifth seemed the only word left. And the streak continues.

Wordle 1,738 4/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 After a poor guess at #3, an intuitive leap at #4 keeps the streak going.

Great article pulling together RFK Jr's failures at CDC over the past year + Staggering to see it all together in one place. It'll take a generation to fix this at least. F^ckers I tried sharing this as a non-firewall article twice, but @nytimes.com failed twice. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Wordle 1,737 3/6 🟨🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 And another one where at guess two I had the answer but second guessed myself. I'll take the three and the streak continues ...

Hey everybody, I'm going war criming again. I'm going to announce it to the world. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We need a plan to put Trump in a box and deliver him to The Hague like right now before this gets even further out of hand.

Wordle 1,736 3/6 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Wish I could say this was skill (OK, maybe a little bit) but a great guess at #3 (trying to eliminate a vowel and a couple of ending consonants) finishes the puzzle off and continues the streak.

Folks, I've received four similar messages today - these are phishing attempts: - I haven't had an AT&T account for three years - note the messaging a "material increase in your monthly bill" to get you to push the button "sign in" in the email - the button actually directs you to "hitplusbank"

Went to fill up this morning returning from an EEG at the hospital (another story). I'd scanned the prices on the way there - average of about $3.85 for regular (up from $2.68 3 weeks ago). Pulled into a station - $3.85 on the sign, but $3.58 on the pump. Gotta love dyslexic clerks.

Treasury plans to issue Donald Trump $1 coin How to lodge a complaint with the Treasury OIG about this. It violates 31 U.S. Code § 5114 (b) "... Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities..." Here's the link: forms.treasury.gov/treasuryform...

Wordle 1,735 4/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I thought the answer was the answer on guess two, but I hate repeat letters so let it go until #4. Ah well. The streak continues even if my average gets driven lower ...

Wordle 1,734 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟨⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Lot's going on with this one. I managed to isolate the first two letters to a couple of spaces each by guess three and the with a leap of intuition got the answer in four. And the streak goes on.

A Whiff of Stagflation For those of us who live through this the last time through, all I can say is hold on to your hats folks. And if you have a variable rate mortgage? Don't. Last time my best investments were London Gilts and my rent deposit in Weisbaden open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Found this and had to share - ouch. @keefknight.bsky.social [email protected]

Wordle 1,733 4/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 On guess three I went with the 5 cent word instead of the 25 cent one keeping with my "dumb it down theory" and guessed wrong. Ah well, but the streak goes on. 19 days from matching my longest, need to keep on my game.

Wordle 1,732 4/6 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟨🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Too funny - I had a couple of good guesses at #3, went with one and it turned out to be the other. Ah well - and the streak continues. Need to be careful, I'm now beginning to close in on my all time streak (about 20 away from it) so it's time to biff.

Wordle 1,731 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Starter word gave me something, good guess on number two left only a couple of potentials. As usual went with the 5 cent word rather than the 50 cent word and closed the deal. And the streak goes on.

Wordle 1,730 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Nothing special with this one, just nibbling away at the potentials to reveal the actual. At the end there were a couple of answers left and I chose right to end it at five. And the streak goes on.

Well worth a read today. As usual Tom Friedman brings great perspective. Neighboring - a new word apparently coined in Minnesota. Free article to everyone www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/o...

So, in case you missed this gem ... Iran is known for its cyber attack capabilities. Everyone is waiting for drone or terrorist attacks - an abrupt shut down of a power plant can end it for years, take out a transmission system etc. Not that this is Iran ... arstechnica.com/security/202...

Wordle 1,729 4/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟩 ⬜🟨⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 So there were probably 5 or so potentials left at guess four, but I went with the average man's word because that's what Wordle is all about, right? No high falutin 25 cent words here. And the streak continues

So. Tomorrow’s the big day eh?

Wordle 1,728 6/6 ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟨 ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 OK that was close - too many options, and I had to use an elimination word as guess #5 - phew. But the streak goes one ...
