Wordle 1,829 4/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed gave me a great start that just needed to be worked through. Unfortunately no real elimination words so it was just plodding. Third try was the charm and the streak extends another day.

Wordle 1,828 4/6 ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Another relatively straight forward puzzle. Building on the seed, #2 got the placement of the missed letter correct, #3 eliminated pretty much everything but the answer. And the streak builds another day.

Wordle 1,827 6/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well that was fun. Stuck in that "fill in the blank" mode, it's just elimination. Only so many endings to test. Took six tries, was worried at guess 4, but it worked out. And the streak is well over a month now.

Wordle 5-for-5 Challenge Complete 🎊 Wordle 1,826 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟨🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed yielded a lonely result, which #2 built upon. Guess 3 eliminated all but a single word due to placement of the sole misplaced correct letter from the seed, and the streak builds another day.

Wordle 1,825 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟨🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Interesting. This is almost a repeat of yesterday's puzzle. Same results from seed. #2 I didn't test the ending, but a beginning with nice results leading to, again, a reasoned guess for the win at #3 to extend the streak another day.

Wordle 1,824 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed showed a potential common ending which I tested in #2 while eliminating 2 vowels. Based on eliminated letters and validated penultimate letter I followed a hunch for the answer at guess three. And the streak builds.

Wordle 1,823 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Not fun. Spent the whole time trying to identify the penultimate letter, but fortunately was able to get it before running out of guesses. An elimination word really didn't look efficacious so just plodded it out.

Wordle 1,822 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed led to an interesting #2 - I jumped at a common word that violated a rule of mine - no repeat letters early on - by mistake, but made up for it with an intuitive, yet informed guess for the win at #3.

Wordle 1,821 3/6 🟩⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Great start with my seed. #2 tested a common word while shuffling the two misplaced letters leaving the answer for #3 pretty clear. Back to almost a month on the streak (After losing the year a bit ago to a morning brain fog) so starting to build a little momentum

Wordle 1,820 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well, had me nervous for a second or so. Seed revealed a couple of letters that make a common ending, so I ignored it and went with a shiny thing instead. #3 I tested the common ending and intuitively got the answer on #4 by elimination. The streak builds

Wordle 1,819 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Guess 2 was trying to place the couple of letters from the seed, but revealed a 3rd letter, eliminated places for the first two. Left a bunch of potentials, but after about 5 seconds of deliberation I pulled the answer out in # 3 to continue building the streak

Wordle 1,818 5/6 🟨⬜⬜🟩🟨 ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed surprised me, #2 eliminated a common ending, #3 established the bulk of the puzzle, #4 left only the answer, so the streak continues to build. #4 also avoided a double letter which came out in the answer.

Wordle 1,817 4/6 ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I can see we're back to the linear, simplified thinking phase of the puzzle. Seed yielded a good base, confirmed the beginning in #2, #3 was eliminating pretty much everything with #4 the answer. Easy Peasy, and matches my degree of awakeness this morning

Wordle 1,816 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Fairly normal yield from my seed, went with a straight forward second guess based on eliminating letters, and the answer was pretty evident at guess three. Rack up another one towards getting back to a respectable streak (by that I mean >100 - quite a ways to go)

Wordle 1,815 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Run of the mill puzzle today. Seed showed a single letter that I tried in first place on guess 2. Took a flyer on #3 to check on position 2 and got a great result. 2 words left, chose the non-obvious one for #4 and wound up extending the streak at #5

I've read 55 out of the top 100. How about you? (Hint, there's enough Russian Literature here to push me over the 50 count) www.theguardian.com/books/ng-int...

Wordle 1,814 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 The problem with being fixated on endings is sometimes the letters are about beginnings. Took me until guess 3 to confirm that, and completed the puzzle on guess 4 to continue my now 3 week streak (long way to get to my almost year streak I biffed)

Wordle 1,813 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Feel like I'm doing more than my share of wandering about while still finishing the puzzle. Seed and second worked just fine, 3rd guess was eliminating a double vowel directly, 4th a set of potentials, leaving the answer in 5. And the streak builds

Wordle 1,812 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed led to validation of an ending to a couple of guesses eliminating common repeat letters leaving really one word for an answer at guess five. Getting more comfortable "wasting" a guess on repeat letters. And the 'streak" builds another day.

Wordle 1,811 5/6 ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Sort of wandering until #3 when I took a flyer at a double letter in #4 which gave me the answer in #5 to extend the streak. Hard to keep it going while traveling.

Wordle 1,810 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟨🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed yielded little except knowing a letter wasn't in a certain place. #2 was a brute force attempt at common letters that left a single word remaining for the win at #3. And the streak continues to build. Almost 20 days since my spectacular biff

Wordle 1,809 6/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well that was close. Random walk down the potentials, increasingly convinced I won't make it in time. Then on #5 I took a flier that left one word for the win. And the streak continues to build.

Wordle 1,808 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed and second guess showed a double letter mess that this time I dealt with head on and eliminated in #3. #4 cleared the field and left a final word for the answer. Streak continues to build

Two guesses where I am today

Wordle 1,807 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed gave me a start, second guess framed it, third eliminated everything except a single word. And the streak builds ...

Wordle 1,806 2/6 🟩🟨⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed yielded great results (I'm always nervous with these "good" results - afraid they're going to lead to one of those 57 different options on a single them you can never finish in the 5 remaining guesses,) and I went with the absolute simplest word for the win on #2

Wordle 1,805 3/6 ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed yielded good results. At guess two there were a few directions I could have taken, chose the right one, but the wrong ending, fixed it at three to continue the streak.

Wordle 1,804 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 As I chased a letter around I saw the answer but didn't go for it until #5 because I was busy eliminating letters and vowels and the answer didn't do enough of the right ones until it did. Ah well, the streak continues.

Wordle 1,803 6/6 🟩⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Only interesting thing here is the use of an elimination word in guess 5 to determine the answer - there were too many possibilities left to grind them out at that point and I had to get creative. An I'm back in double digits ...

Wordle 1,802 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 First and second seed yielded a field of maybe 10 words. Eliminating those with repeat letters I took a shot with #3 and had the answer in 4 - with a repeat letter. Ah well, the streak doth extend, almost out of single digits ....

Wordle 1,801 3/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed led to an interesting second guess that, when looking at it carefully, eliminated all but a couple of words (that first letter "yellow" on the first guess was key). Going with the simplest of the two on guess three the streak extends another day!

Wordle 1,800 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩 ⬜🟩🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Too funny - on guess three I was going to try the answer, but as you know I have repeat letters, so it too to guess five to get there. Ah well, the streak extends to a whole week now - half a year left to get back to my last streak.

Wordle 1,799 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed and second seed yielded a thinned down field of choices. Guess three really left three, choosing the simplest (as is my tendency with this puzzle based on experience) and my nascent streak extends another day.

Wordle 1,798 4/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Only interesting thing today was an elimination word in guess 3 - with guess 2 there were three words remaining and I used it to save a guess. The streak lengthens to a work week ....

Wordle 1,797 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟨🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed yielded enough for a decent second guess that made a third guess straight forward. Imagine my surprise when the answer in #4 was the exact opposite of the meaning of #3. And the streak grows to 4 after that biff late last week.

Wordle 1,796 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well that was fun, my seed word and second guess gave me a few clues, but #3 was a real flyer. And the streak continues. I'll take 7 months to get back to my last one but baby steps ...

Wordle 1,795 4/6 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed led to a decent ending (always my preference to work endings, my years as a Russian Intercept Analyst playing out.) Guess 3 was an elimination word that confirmed the one letter I already knew, but eliminated 3 of 5 potentials. And the streak goes on

Wordle 1,794 2/6 ⬜🟨🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Seed word left only one possible answer. Sometimes you have to love an easy day. The streak is now up to two!

Wordle 1,793 4/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well, after yesterday's complete biff any positive result is a good thing. The streak begins?

Wordle 1,792 X/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟨⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well the streak is over. Bummer, but my brain was too much in a fog this AM I guess. Made it to 200, best so far. Usually I'm traveling or something and miss a day

The Chief Justice and his wife took 20 million dollars from firms with cases in front of the court. A level of corruption no one expected from the nation's highest court

Wordle 1,791 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟨 🟨⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well that was close. At the penultimate guess I had like 5 potentials and no good elimination word, so pure guesswork. As usual went with the simplest of vocabulary and got it on the second, and last possible guess. So the streak continues.

Wordle 1,790 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟨🟩⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thought I was in one of those tunnels of doom experiences - guess four with several permutations left and no obvious elimination word - have to grind it out and hope to get the right answer before turns expire. And the streak continues!

Wordle 1,789 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟨⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well, 1st and 2nd seed were a bust (I love it when that happens), 3rd was trying to make sense of what was left, 4th making order of the 3rd while avoiding repeat letters and 5th dropping in the final letter for the answer - the streak continues

Wordle 1,788 4/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Ho hum through #3 - I didn't guess the answer, again, because I hate to repeat letters. But, the streak goes on.

Wordle 1,787 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟩⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 seed word yielded letters for a common ending, which I tried on guess two to no avail, but picked up a new letter in the right spot. Guess three was almost a forgone conclusion at that point for the win and the streak continues.
