Wordle

[spot51]

Got it in one on Monday and felt smug all day. Tuesday I failed to get Taffy at all. He was a pissartist Welsh RI teacher at Sandown. Surprised he was known in NYC. 

Yesterday turned out a better day though as the gardeners came and finished the top garden. They've sprayed the bottom garden where the weeds were worst and Bart is not allowed out now as they don't want him pissing on the new turfs. Kills the grass apparently...

Today I did the Wordle in 2 and any day I beat the Bot is a good day. Think we'll miss today's high temperatures so I can go out for lunch without cooking Bart. 

Watched Portugal win the Nations League on Sunday. Tuesday I saw Belgium 4 Wales 3 (cracking match) but missed Che's first hattrick for Scotland. England were well beaten by Senegal last night. Really classy team, strong, clever and pacey and they made us look pedestrian.

Isn't taffy what Americans call some form of sweet? Think I remember the word from Boardwalk Empire.

Maybe. I got TA__Y in three and considered many options. Thought of TAFFY but could hear the frigging Bot saying "unlikely to be the solution from what I've learned from playing Wordle" and went TALLY, TACKY and TABBY and out. Boo!

TALLY TACKY TABBY would be a good album title.

Yes.. basically toffee but treated in a different way so it's softer

That one almost had me on Wordle, I don't normally need a 6; but when it doesn't make sense I usually start trying incorrect words (ie American)

More American crap today, FFS.

I got it, but it’s just bloody annoying.

[FFS]

I couldn’t get taffy either.

Mrs FFS got it in 4.

Get to feck.

It took a Brit to invent Wordle anyway.

Quordle is much better, anyway

I got Taffy, but only because I was out of other ideas.

[earlscourtsaint]

I got Taffy, but only after some research to establish what it meant - is that cheating, in a Man City sort of way?

Got it in 3 today, never had a ‘one’r’

Actually a Scots word and my "go to" when checking for A & I.

Got the vowels in two but took 3 more goes to find the rest. Over 5% failed today.

Only the 53rd time I’ve done it in 6 in 1195 goes.  I’ve got a 100% success rate (although I’ve failed to get it 3 times - they round up!)  

I’m a little obsessive.

Isn’t that one of the songs in Cats?

I've never done it before, I gave it a go today.

Got in 5
