I got the last four letters in three today and then found there were at least three (more that I might have missed?) so I came up with a word that had all three possibilities for try number four. Found the letter and got it in five.

Happy Independence Day to all.

My starter word gave me 4 of 5, none in the right places. Only took two more to get it.

Got it 2 today for the second day in a row.

I am having a great time razzing my kids about it, asking them if they want me to give them lessons.

Me 3. My 2 test words gave me 4 letters, one of which was in the right place. I made a good guess in word 3.

Got it in 2 today. My starter word I always use gave me 4 of 5 letters with 2 in the correct spot.

Today’s word is a word I use sometimes as a starter word. I ended up getting it in three, but it could have been an opportunity to get it on the first guess.

Back when I first began playing Wordle, my starter word was UNITY. Turned out that the word one day was UNIFY. I think that was my once in a lifetime chance to get it in one guess.

5 here. but I'm not real good at this game, and I feel good if I get it at all.

A young person sees the world as a still picture, immutable. An old person has had his nose rubbed in changes and more changes and still more changes so many times that that he knows it is a moving picture, forever changing. He may not like it--probably doesn't; I don't--but he knows it's so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it."

I did it just once--my usual first test word was the word of the day. I also did in in 2 once--my second test word was it.
