Possibly should have got there in two.

After the clues from the starter word, there was literally one possibility.

Haven't come that close to missing it in a while! And from such a promising start. Guesses came easily, but the remaining letter didn't.

This is inevitable, now that realistic voice can be generated. Recording dialogue has been an expensive bottleneck for game devs, but now voicing character dialogue is cheap and unlimited. This particular AI tide can't be resisted.

Boom. Thank you once again, starter word. I will miss you when you're finally the answer, and I must find another!

Well that was easy. Set up for success by dumb luck!

Solid game! My second guess came from a dream; it helped a little, but wasn't the answer.

I suppose the good news is that most guesses I make have never been used in a previous Wordle, meaning still lots of future games before they gave to start repeating words.

Routine deduction, emphasising the need for luck to discover useful letters.

While I did enjoy Ahsoka, I found this parody from Honest Trailers to be truly hilarious.

@nlowell What is truly inspiring about you is that you keep persevering. You are living proof that getting older is no hindrance to creating truly compelling art (and at a truly prodigious rate). And even better, you still actively play games! None of us are perfect, and there are always bumps in the road (sometimes some really nasty ones). But you are living life. That's all that really matters.
