Late to the party. Long but amazing day in Yellowstone.
Are you road-tripping? I know you were in MN this month, too.
Yes, we had a family gathering in Minneapolis for July 4th, so we decided to extend to Idaho with our two dogs. Great trip so far, but messes with my Five Forks duties.
Watch out for those charging bison!
They had a clip on NBC news of the grandpa getting jettisoned by one of them. He flew about 6-10 feet! He turned out to be OK. He hurt his back.

Finally some S-word representation. They never use S-words so itβs cool to see them occasionally.
Almost started with belay

I told my wife about your S rant!
WTH! Once again, if I had checked FF before selecting my start word I never wouldβve chosen that. Maybe Iβm onto something. π€
Another word crossed off my start list.

That is very impressive! 16 Wordles in 1. You picked well.
Wow! 16 wordles in one? Iβd say thatβs more skill than luck!
Thanks! I think luck is the biggest factor, but since I use a different start word each day I have more of a chance at a Wordle in 1 than those who have a standard start word.
Wow! Awesome.
Why pick that word (over word like STEAL for example)?
Not sure. Iβve used it many times as a start. I just go by feeling. Maybe I was craving one that day. I love steak! π₯© I was practically raised on T-bones, but thatβs not an accepted word.

Getting the first two letters in the first word was a huge advantage.
Snarky ol’ Wordlebot’s comment on STEER was “This was a good guess; STREP would have been more efficient. It has a P, which better narrows down the possible solutions, like STEEP.”
All well and good, but STEER was unused, and STEEP had been used at 1330 so I thought it was unlikely to be the answer.
STREP isn’t a great suggestion, because it isn’t on the 2315 list.
STEER is an unplayed word from that list and more likely to be the answer unless TB adds STREP (which she could.)
What a tease!

I always start with STEAL (at least until it gets used). But auto-correct almost always turns it into STEAK. (STEAD, STEAM were previously used.)
An orange “steak”. Some kind of fish, perhaps?

Congrats to those who got it in 2! My strategy of using a word with a final E for my first guess helped a little.
Happy Bastille Day! π«π·
It appears that many of us were rooting for STEAL, although our guts told us otherwise…

RAISE leaves only STEAL and STEAK.
I thought this would be the day all the people who started with STEAL would get their ONE.
It wasnβt to be. So, it is a three. Hey, that rhymes!
The streak of double letter words ended.
Is this now a streak of ST words starting?

Happy with my two badges: Wordle in 2 and Sea of Greens.
WB matched me today.
You didnβt get a beat the bot badge for a tie?
Nope!
Great! Keep playing STEAL.
Congrats!

9.2% wordle players got it in 2 today which is higher than the norm. Steak was the only unused word from which to choose after slate (from the OG list).
My 2nd beat the bot badgeβso they are remarking on the badge how many times I beat the bot, but not retroactively. Also, I donβt know if turning on the past answers toggle changes anything for the badge.
Hi Christine,
Interesting. I play it in Hard Mode and the setting βUse knowledge of past solutions.β In that mode, the Bot solved it in 2. As did I.
However with the other setting the Bot solved it in 5. Still no award for me.
Congrats!

Easy 2! Other 2 options were PU, and just had a PU solution yesterday. No brainer.
Interesting noteβ¦ the WB shows everyoneβs guesses, and STEAK is showing in 14th place for guess #1. STEAL is usually around #20, and STEAK is NEVER in the Top 20 for guess #1. It is 5:00 a.m. EDT. I will look again tonight to see if the first guesses adjust later
Sweet!
steak is now showing as #18 as the 1st guess now. 0.7 readers chose. Steal is #20
Right there with you for a 2. Our persistence paid off.
As of 8:15 am, for guess #1, STEAK is not in the Top 20. STEAL is #10.
For guess #2, STEAK is in 2nd place. I think itβs all those people who guessed STEAL first and use FF to cross check their answer. π
It is 7:24 am central time and for me STEAK is still #18 for the first guess. Do you think that they use a different pool of players for each time zone?
It certainly appears to be the case. Or something else is happening.
Nicely Done.
Some of those people probably knew the answer was STEAK.
What other explanation could it be?
Agreed!

its like please, please, don’t let me blow it…
well done
I see what you did there ππΌ
Nice Glenda!
YAY! Glad it helped.
Try STEAL tomorrow. There may be an ST .. STreak.
imagine if everyone reversed their guesses and started with STEAK yesterday instead of STEAL – all those lovely 1’s
And my 3 would have been a 2.
Imagine.
