Incredibly impressive. No clue how you got over 40, let alone over 4x that.


My wife, who regularly fails wordle said she got connections today….so I’m interested if it’s easy or impossible for me today

I think that’s my posting everyday streak on here….Cal made it 17 years, I feel I’m there too unless the board was shut down for a day or something

I am very very intrigued at how this game differs for different type thinkers. I want to understand how Justin and others who are so much more read with a better well-rounded knowledge of things struggle when I have no trouble and many days everyone on here solves it with no misses and I’m a big ol struggle bus. My stats say I only pass the game 50% of the time….I rarely get to 5 in a row, but on days where the best at this game struggle….I get it with no errors in under a minute.

Would have been out if not for a lucky guess on blue and stupid purple by default.

I didn't quite get that lucky guess on blue. Meaning that I did go out.

Gonna see how long of a streak I can get without opening up the hint page. Sitting at 2 now, yesterday was much messier than today.

Green can fuck off today, horrible. I should’ve gotten blue with 3 errors to use but didn’t know one of the words

Huh, never used the hint page. Just worked the brain. And it had to work today. No mistakes, but it felt tough!

Very similar to Ironman92. Got purple first then blew it up.

Gotta go in blind…hint page is to give the people dumber than me a nudge in the right direction and they’ll more likely keep playing and returning to the page


You don’t need it
