As much as I love today's word, it's just never near the top of my mind. A lifelong fault, perhaps.

While it's probably blindingly obvious to everyone else, my mind was blown when @jeffjarvis (I think) said we don't speak using spaces; they're only for reading, to separate words. I then realised we really do speak without paused between words!

That one letter clue was surprisingly effective at limiting options.

No swift victory today, it seems. Quite apropos, given it's Monday.

When faced with multiple possibilities, I go with the most common, as the original Wordle creator weeded out less known words. Though now the NYTimes curates, who knows...

Took off in the wrong direction, but a quick u-turn got me there handily enough.

Good for them! I hope Brisbane follows suit. Ideally before someone dies.

Started off bleak, but got there handily enough. And when a funky pattern, too. Sun just peaking over a hill at dawn?
