Wordle 1,529 5/6* (I checked after and words three and four have not appeared before, so while one of them was a bit un-NYT like because it was an illness it was a roughly 1/3 chance on 3. Possibly higher than 1/3 but definitely 1/2 on 4 because each guess removes goats.) ⬛⬛⬛🟨⬛ ⬛🟨🟩🟩⬛ 🟩⬛🟩🟩⬛ 🟩⬛🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Minute Cryptic - 26 August, 2025 (there are going to be clues that people are better or worse at, and maybe one day there could be an optional quiz that personalises the par to the player. Ultimately we're all trying to solipsisticly beat our own score, if we're sensible*, because even if doing something competitively, unless at the top of your game already, you're not going to get there without beating your own score. I suppose there's the societal recognition that comes from that sort of competition or competitiveness, but people are overrated and, ultimately, we work within what we have and a relative improvement is just as admirable even if not recognised by people in a general sense. I suppose people do that with things like Duolingo or other apps but I've had a computers since the early 1980s and prefer a pen and paper. It's embarrassing letting an algorithm know how crap or not crap I am for the profit of other people. Although I don't resent the profit from it, generally, because things and people need to be paid for and making stuff and organising people can be various degrees of a pain in the arse.) "No stamp? Problematic for him!" (7) 🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 I scored: 3 under par
