Wordle - A daily word game
Guess the hidden word in 6 tries. A new puzzle is available each day.
 Minute Cryptic - 6 July, 2025 (I often find the 2 and 1 par ones more difficult than the 3+ par ones. Like making small talk at a Disney themed party versus discussing Offret with someone who has a Trailer Park Boys as cats tattoo) "No coming back after shipwreck? That sucks" (6) 🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 I scored: 2 under par

Sophia Kennedy - Runner is a track that made me go wow today (with the usual caveats about repeat listening: I could be less wowed next week - but I don't think so. Her current album and the last are very well balanced between momentum and an appeal to the brain):

Wordle 1,476 4/6* (This was a difficult one because Wordle is running out of words. I can roughly get a feel for ones I've seen before so I can avoid them and sometimes check. Maybe they should reset or introduce more slang. Or reset and introduce more slang. The great yeetening. Wordle: TNG.) ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟩 ⬛⬛⬛🟨🟩 ⬛🟨⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

 Minute Cryptic - 4 July, 2025 (this was a difficult solve and if I was shorter on time I'd have given up and used clues. I don't think there is any problem with that. Especially when learning and I'd consider myself still learning - I'm on a 67 streak but a lot initially used hints or clues.) "Underwater craft acoustically monitored dock" (8) 🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 I scored: 3 under par

Wordle 1,475 5/6* (I woul have liked, in the absence or a 3 or 4, to have gotten 15 blanks. I'm not sure 20 blanks are impossible or just extremely unlikely given letter distributions in English. Assuming etaoin shrdlu - ish - letter distribution and a few other things regarding mixed or repeated vowels. I think a brute force against a sufficiently large english dictionary would produce a more useful statistical estimate because there'd have to be a number of assumptions built into a back of the envelope estimate without reference to a dictionary. Complicated somewhat because I change starting words daily to keep it interesting... I'm probably overthinking it. Maybe it'd be simpler to ask if certain answers make it more likely to have no common vowels or consonants by step four would also provide a meaningful estimate. Something like sylph but l and s make that unlikely. I'm fighting the urge to obsess) ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟩⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Wordle 1,473 5/6* (I think I probably would have gotten this score anyway, but it has been 30C+ inside since yesterday. I've slept, but rather suspect I'm a cross between one of those sponges that expands when a person adds water, a lungfish, and someone whom really ought to eat breakfast. It is universal that British people, maybe all people everywhere, TBF, moan about the weather, but sometimes it is accurate. It's not like I can put on or take off a jacket and I have to wear trousers or shorts and underwear because of society and wallet storage issues. I don't see any problems with a man bag and a dress other than I'd feel like I'm taking the piss. If only "I don't give a f..., it's hot" ended wars. Maybe Jesus was being rational). ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩⬛⬛🟨 🟩🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
