Yes, that’s interesting. I wonder if that means for non native english speakers that currently distinct accents and pronunciation will morph into some kind of single sound.
Apart from a lonely three, I’ve been sitting on fours. Will post the older ones as scoredles rather than wordles.

TRADE (377)
BLOAT (8)
FAULT
Was pleased I got the pattern right, but missed out on the three because I wanted to use B because it could also have been a double B in the middle, so more value than going with foggy first.

Another missed three, the answer was the other choice I liked
My parents had a habit of doing that. They came off a flight here in NZ, got in their car and drove to the toll booth. My father had been chatting to my mother in Dutch, then turned and when he spoke to the guy in the booth wondered why he had a blank expression. It took him a few goes to realise he’d been speaking Dutch. And now at get togethers, it’s not uncommon for him to slip from one language to another. That fine for me and my siblings, but not that great for our spouses.
I wonder if he’ll regress as he gets older and more senile. I feel sorry for the nurses already
I did my Sunday wordle at 2pm and yesterday’s wordle was still there. This usually happens and I just refresh the page although sometimes, but rarely it’s already refreshed.
Good luck with the game jam MrMen, the theme wasn’t narrow enough to engage my interest and I would only have Sunday to work on it anyway.
This one was a doozy and not helped by me stuffing up in guess four by putting my yellow letter in the same place, but I did get a new yellow letter out of it.
I’m out. For a word puzzle that has its words curated by NYT, the Wordle 500 answer is not acceptable to me. I did the check the word in another browser thing because the only word I could think of didn’t seem legitimate enough. But it was indeed the answer.
Hahaha that will probably sound very funny, and I think this truly is a possibility, because English has already taken over many of our words. During covid, everyone was talking about “social distancing” instead of “sociaal afstand houden” which is kind of weird for people that don’t speak English all that well. I imagine we will all communicate in monotone soundwaves in the future. Consisting of nose bleeps and tongue clicks.
I would have loved to see that blank expression when a random person speaks some kind of swamp language that sounds like total nonsense. I wish I could be this oblivious, although I do it on purpose sometimes on vacation to indicate that I don’t speak their language.
Wordle 500 5/6*
I know what you mean, these words are getting ridiculous. Thankfully I puzzled my way out of it in time.
You were You hogged all those 3s from under our noses.
Karma can’t get you anymore because she defeated you. Your towel has been thrown.
I must say she had some nasty blows below the belt before you went down
Haha ES, nice work with 509. You know what? I went and found a wordle archive so I could also do 509. Ya beat me though. I didn’t look at your guesses but I am now. Hmmmm, you didn’t use crane. Can’t remember what other starter words you’ve used.
Yeah, I’ve been getting a fair few 3s & 4s. Had another DNF, and also managed to fluke a 2 a few days ago. My latest is one I was quite pleased about, getting the answer from 3 yellows :
Hmmm, when I was doing that Exist wordle it seemed familiar Turns out that archive has the numbers wrong and I have actually done Exist before which was Wordle 486 and got it in three back then. So ES, what I thought was a 509 comparison was not.
ES, here’s me talking about the Wordle archive back in February (before you existed). Then when I went to do your 509 there, it had a notice saying they had been asked to shut down by Nyt. So I guess any accurate archive that exists these days doesn’t last long. Hence that recent one having the numbers wrong.
Went to do 552 but it was yesterday for me so turned my clock back. Wow, what a tricky one. I had already incorrectly dismissed the actual answer first two letters as no way. And tried so hard to get it in three. Very well done to you ES, nice turnaround from guess three.
