yup. Maybe I had one other one. But I've only really been doing it every day for like the last 2-3 weeks. One I discovered Quordle I started doing both.
I have a group text - that's for crossword and wordle results. A bunch of my friends have been playing Quordle - which is four wordles at the same time
I take quordle more seriously than wordle. In terms of wanting to keep a streak intact. I was more disappointed I lost my quordle streak than my wordle.
Took me 3 tries to get to where I knew what the last 4 letters would be. I got it 4, having luckily (I mean, skillfully) picked the correct first letter. But in our work Puzzle Slack channel, three people failed even tho they had 4 greens starting with Round 2 or 3
Really really enjoyed 'Turning Red' on Disney + - the new Pixar bundingsroman/coming of age story set in Toronto's Chinese community. It's one of the funnier Pixar movies in a while (after a lot of sentimental ones - Luca, Soul and Onward)
Warriors looked better last night against the Nuggets. Of course the Nuggets were also playing on the 2nd half of a back to back and didn't get in until 4AM so they lost their legs in the 4th. Klay is still struggling but Poole was on fire. Wiggins still can't buy a FT.
It was quite a difference to see a game where the other team got tired and fell apart down the stretch. That's been the Warriors for the most part since the All-Star Game.
This is the time of year where I cram for march madness by watching the conference tournaments and then am shocked when different teams do well in the NCAA tournament.
So by posting it here, I'm really telling myself that matchups matter.
I usually do that with Duke, too, and I finally got tired of losing my pool that way so a couple years ago I picked Duke to win it all and of course they went out early.
Wordle
Stupid wordle. That's all
i failed for the first time ever ... so did older daughter
I think it's my first failure as well.
Today’s wordle?

Ok. I will give it a try today. Thanks.
Yup, me too.
Two failures in the Newellbany house
Sneaky word. Could’ve been any one of 7 options, with only 6 chances. Lame.
I tried 5 different words with just one letter off each time. Stupid
Got it in 5, had to go off-clue to cover the possibilities.

Trying to figure out how this schitt works.... ;-)
Got it in 6, on the 4th try with the last four letters right.

Today's selection stretched me. I'm generally good for 4 guesses on average, but took me to 7 today.
First came Wordle, then came Poeltl for NBA, and now it's WARdle for MLB: https://wardle.app/

It's an hour past Vera and I'm on the front porch with a martini and it feels glorious outside.

i only watched the first half where they played ok for some stretches. i figured they would lose and surprised to find out they did not

Poole caught fire and everyone else played solid D against a tired team

Bring him back to Cal asap.
He would be an improvement over Fox, to be sure.
Alrighty then.
This is the time of year where I cram for march madness by watching the conference tournaments and then am shocked when different teams do well in the NCAA tournament.
So by posting it here, I'm really telling myself that matchups matter.
I'm so incapable of really learning that lesson. Auburn lost today and so I think they're fraudulent and will have them losing by the third round.
Conversely, Iowa has played well in the conference tournament so I'll send 'em deep, in spite of their nine losses.
Half of the last 15 national champions didn't win their conference tournament. Maybe this will be the year that I consider that fact.
As usual, I'll probably have Dook losing in round 2 or 3 and they usually fail to disappoint me.
I usually do that with Duke, too, and I finally got tired of losing my pool that way so a couple years ago I picked Duke to win it all and of course they went out early.
My favorite part of my most NCAA tourneys is when Duke goes out. The earlier the better.
Fact. Remember when they lost 1st round? It was glorious!!

Go Bears!!!
