Re: Puzzles
My Wordle strategy paid off perfectly today. Is it bad form to say what my starting word is?
Remember on Wheel of Fortune when people would guess R S T L N and E?I have a starting word that hits three of those consonants, the most utilitarian ones in my opinion, and another popular vowel. I try to hit the rest of R S T L N E and the next-most prominent vowels in the next word.

Re: Puzzles
and I want to know how on earth word #995 is considered even close to what the secret word was. Or any of the other high ranking words (of which I got the majority). I call shenanigans! I don't think it means what they think it means..... ;)

It's based on how associated they are with each other in newspaper articles.

I still demand a recount. Must be from all those political articles when reporters were seeking answers that a certain presidential pumpkin failed to provide?

I'm done with semantle. You just randomly guess, and then become a human thesaurus.
