Got my first "in one" on Wordle today! Been using the same start word since day one. Have had to wait about two years/700ish games.

Well done Alex! My regular starter word got me Wordle in 3 while my wife took 6 today due to not having the second letter.

One day I will get a one properly. I have two 1s in my stats but that’s due to people giving away the solution before I’ve done it.

Come on, just one more game. It won't hurt. You can stop any time, right?

My youngest alerted me to the fact that you can now play a daily game along the lines of “Just Connect”.

Americanised, so at times it’s crap as it’s linked to Baseball team names or some crap, but otherwise pretty cool.

Just hit PLAY - no need to make an account.

Have added it to my daily "round". Not as fiendish as the TV version, but worth a minute or two.

Ironically, I keep forgetting about it. :oops:

Today's is a good example of when americanisms (or an american lens) thwart your efforts.

Mrs DJ said exactly the same. I worked around it by solving the three others instead.
