    6 today. I has 2 green letters in my second guess and 3 in my third, fourth and fifth guesses. A little panicky for a minute.

    Got it in 3. Hit two on my first guess and didn’t do better on 2. My third guess I was just trying to determine if the answer was going to feature one letter combo or another and accidentally got it.

    I went ALONE and THOSE my first two. Then I was trying to decide if the answer was going to be OO or RO. I went FROZE because it would tell me it was booze or would force me to go the RO route. Turned out to be a 96 luck rated guess.

    Got it in 5. Probably could have done it in 4 but I thought I had more choices left than I really did. As it stands I’m proud of my fourth goes to eliminate the possibilities

    My point was, didn't they have a word that rhymed with today's just a couple weeks ago? I thought - is this a rerun? It messed with my head a bit.

    Thanks to people here, I’ve become obsessed with the Wordle bot analysis.

    Today I was particularly impressed. Went from 244 words remaining after my first guess to 1 after my second. It said I was a 98 lucky for my second guess, but I was bound to eliminate a sizable amount after all the vowels were used after two guesses.

    Of course the bot solved it in 3 after getting one yellow letter through 2 guesses.

    Where can you see that? That sounds like fun. Got it in three today after a streak of fours, fives and sixes. I had 0 letters after the first guess and one after the second.

    I always remember how many guesses -- 3 today -- but never remember the word itself once I'm done. I did today's a few hours ago and have zero clue what the word was. I also remember that I had a streak of 156 snapped last week.
