    Quordle chose violence this morning.
    Three doubles, one triple. I had almost no letters after my starting three. It took going 7,8,9 to not fail.

    Got worldle in one guess today. Considering I usually either take every guess or flat out fail, it's nice to win one.

    16 words with _O_ER. Easy to get stuck in “hard” mode and not get lucky.

    Also very much an American term - those of us at work all went HOVER first because baseball's not an especially big thing down here.

    I would have defined “homer” as someone that overlooks their home team’s faults because he’s that devoted a home team partisan.

    being a flag nerd helped me in that regard since they have the shape of their country on their flag.

    It’s usually easy or not at all for me. After 30 plays I’m 25-5 but as you can see from my stats it's usually quick or not at all

    Tried to go for the impossible in quordle (which never works out) but saved myself for a 2567.

    Got it in 4 but this one broke my brain. I play on hard mode and only guess for correct answers instead of clues (just like Jesus commands)

    Very happy - officially joined the 100 club on Sunday morning. Really 101, but there was a day I didn't enter it on my phone so I 'broke' my streak (but not really). :chatzy:

    And then also got WORLDLE in 1/6. Good day.

    Are you talking about Sat's Worldle or Sunday's? I always need to clarify these things considering the big time difference. :wink:

    And yeah, it was a bit of a punt - I was going to say Cuba (even though I knew it wasn't) just to get my bearings, but then thought about the other islands in the area.

    can't believe it wasn't my fourth guess. had never even heard of this word and only used it because all of my other options didn't work.
