My kids are always pressuring me to start with “Start”, but kids ruin everything, so I start with the trusty old SLATE (WordBot loves that). I’m on strike. So I turned to something with CH and N – CHUNK. I got a U and an N in the wrong place. I wish it was “nunchaku”. lung? No S and Wordle God rarely gives us a plural. I got it! The Bund! I am a cook. marvelous. Except no T.
fungus? I typed it with false confidence, but God gave me an I. (Should I be grateful?) Okay. UN stuff. Down, UNRIP, UNDIP, UNBID! No bid.
I insert it with the confidence of a gambler Know 11 to play Like most gamblers, I lost.
But I now know it starts with UN and I’m in the fourth position.
Unpin? OK I’m just going to fight for it. Anxiety began to overwhelm my desire to solve the puzzle. ah! no. But I did get a P.
Until my last guess. Sweating. My ego asks me to tell you that I’m rarely this bad at Wordle. I chose UNZIP and hit the jackpot.
I hate and love how challenging it is for me. I mean, it seems a little unfair to go into past tense territory. But who’s to say Wordle is fair? I’m giving it two stars because I really think it should be a BUNDT.
