I THINK NYT is playing a sick joke on us all about how we compete as humans. 😆 Really, just score a 6 or less and you're a winner. Kinda like doctors, lawyers, dentists, etc... You just see their degree hanging on wall... But do you ask what kinda grades they got in school? 😆 There's gotta be guys out there that got a C average in medical school doing colonoscopies assembly-line style. cc: @BringBackFergy 😉 51 minutes ago, Special K said: Wait a minute....you read my post and thought I said I only gotten it right once instead of I only gotten it wrong once??

4merper4mer Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) Once I realized that there isn’t a rule that you have to build on the prior word…..in other words use all available information from above….it became too easy. The second day I did it I lost because I thought that was a rule. I was “lucky” and had four greens after two guesses. I then whiffed on four straight consonants that created words. Nerdle is similarly easy but more fun to me for some reason. Edited April 7, 2022 by 4merper4mer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
