On the leaderboard so far today. I've decided that 2 is my new, temp happy place! :becool:

I'm a believer in keeping your expectations manageably low. Then you are less likely to be disappointed.

I think my reactions to the scores are
1: Disbelief:hyper:
2: Amazement:ohmy:
3: Pleasant Surprise:smile:
4: Splendid Happy Place :biggrin:
5: Disappointment:dry:
6: Relief:whistle:
X: Resignation :surrender:

took a little while to work out what was going on. I assume you can only guess horizontal words.

No yellows! Was 50/50 on line 3, and chose the wrong one.

yes I was scratching my head having got a yellow and 2 green on line 2, then had eureka moment, confidently went "yes of course"as i input line 3, only to get it in 4!!!

Not sure why there are so many yellows showing as I did solve it - usually do.
I've been doing this for 119 days, apparently. If I could only do one wordley game each day, I think this would be it. Today's effort:

There's a tactic available which might not be completely obvious. Suppose you have ??REW in a particular row, and you're confident the answer is SHREW. At this point you don't need to spell out the whole word; any five-letter word beginning SH will complete the row. So you're free to play up to three new letters without risk or penalty - alwaysy assuming the spell out a real word.

It's rare, but the same tactic can occasionally be used to complete more than one row at once.

Thanks. I didn't know that.
