Taking a quick look through the weeks on the sheet, seemed like we were getting a good progression in score ranges. Not me, really, but as a group we're getting the hang of it!
I updated the Alltime sheet this morning so everyone's scores through Sunday (and I'll try to update it every Monday) are on it.
The only thing is that I am not sure that nouns with the added S and making them plural are potential answers in WORDLE. Words that end in S that change the tense of a verb are potential words.
FROGS won't be a possible word but TAKES would be possible.

Felt like word 4 was going to be right, based on how long it took me to think of a word at all. Not even close.
I have played nerdle about 8 times I think. Exactly three every time.
I’ve gotten 3 every time, too. I started to wonder if there’s some sort of proof that they are all gettable in 3 tries.
I tried it for the first time and got it in 5. That said, math is NOT my strength.
I tried it for the first time and the increased breadth of choices is intimidating but knowing it has to be a valid equation allowed me to quickly narrow it down in three guesses.
I've generally been pretty certain I'm correct on answer 3 in Nerdle, whereas my third guess in Wordle is always possible, but I'm usually not confident about being right.
There are more slots in Nerdle, but fewer options to fill each of them (10 numbers and 5 operators, vs. 26 letters), so I generally feel like I learn more from each Nerdle guess. I would also imagine that there are a larger number of valid 5-letter words than there are valid 8-character equations.
I got off of the practice of using the last correct word to start the next day's puzzle. However, I might go back because although some days are not going to particularly enlightening, it does prevent you from starting in the same frame of mind every single day.
Which is not to say that you specifically are doing that, but I tend to.
Thought I’d give this a try. I knew it wasn’t either of my answers, but the Falklands seemed like a good calibration guess. I wish there was a way to display the distance in miles; kilometers are ultimately arbitrary nonsense measurements, too.
I can't play this game without thinking of the song about the squarest country.

You deserve to be recognized for that one. Once I triangulated to the Atlantic Ocean, I knew I was done for. Never heard of her.
Got today’s, though!
The two main reasons I know about Cape Verde are because a buddy from the Corps is descended from Cabo Verdeans, and the eternally sublime Cesária Évora.
There is, under the settings gear in the upper right. I have to change it to miles too. My mental kilometer scale doesn't work much past like 10km
I can usually come out ok using x0.6 mi/km (or <2/3, whichever converts easier) and x1.6 km/mi for rough conversion.

The NYT was quick in its takeover of Wordle. Visiting the old site now redirects to its new home, with your stats included. It's going to take me a bit to remember to visit the right site.
Huh. I still can access the puzzle at the original site.
I wanted to get in the ballpark, and I suppose I should have just chosen Guatemala to do taht. I forgot about the weird dogleg Mexico has there. https://worldle.teuteuf.fr
Some have speculated given today's somewhat harder answer that they will run it much like the Crossword where it gets tougher as the week goes on. I'm not sure if that is speculation or not. I guess we'll find out in the next few days.
Yep. Preliminary analysis shows the code is identical so far. They did remove a few "questionable" words from the answer list, and two others that I couldn't figure out why (too uncommon perhaps). In addition, a whole lot of slurs were removed from the possible guess list.
Got Nerdle in 3 and WorLdle in 2, but I think some folks will nail that one on the first try. I considered it but went with a neighbor.

Hard mode really made me work to even find a word that could fit in that last spot.
I got to ⬛ 🟩⬛🟩🟩 and could not for the life of me think of a second word that fit that pattern, so I just closed the window.
Taking a short rest from a problem is a good idea. It can help your brain think of a solution while on break.
