It's in Google playstore.

Really.
I shall have a look.
TBH that is something I never look at as I don't use the phone for games.

I got an update to say that my Amazon deliveries would not arrive until after 17:00. I didn't want to miss all the sunshine waiting for them*** so I nipped out on my Metro run earlier than planned and am now catching up with my emails, forum posts, future bike ride plans and so on.

I think my best bike needs to come out of hibernation a couple of weeks early. I'd like to get a few 50 km rides in, then a solo 100 km ride, and after that get a forum ride organised for before Easter.



*** They will probably fit through the letterbox anyway

Is that an app I have to download.

No its a link to the website, I'm on my Desktop this afternoon, on android theres a list of wordle apps, I just find it on my browser.

It's in Google playstore.

A couple more questions if I may.
Playstore seems to offer 2 or 3 'wordles'. Some have a score of 4.2, another is 4.6. So........
I assume I go for the one with the best score ?
Is it free.....I see no mention of cost ?

Ahh so you haven't downloaded it, you just pick one each day ?

Thats it, I just put wordle in the search box and bring up the search results, the site I've already been on is a different colour to the rest and I just click on it.

@Dave7 below is the link to Wordle on the NY Times website. Follow the link on your phone. When it opens in top right corner there will be three vertical dots, tap these, in the menu choose "Add to Homescreen" and this will put an icon on your phone. This by the way is what people mean when they talk about the CC app. To use it simply tap the icon.

Very useful

its been a lovely afternoon, warm bright and sunny, ideal for gardening or cycling, and I've spent most of it on it on the phone. I left TalkTalk in the middle of January but my account is still active and they want to install Future Fibre, no chance of getting through on the phone, I got to talk to them via facebook but still need to phone them to kill the account they wont do it from their end . Then twenty minutes updating my pension credit details, far easier to get through to but potentially more costly, the lady I was talking to was very pleasant. Strangely I couldn't use the old number I had for the pension people, I just got a recorded message from Lebara my provider saying it was a premium rate number and asking me to top up first, I'm on a rolling monthly contract that tops up automatically at the end of the month , anyway time for tea, pie and chips for me and steak slice and chips for my Good Lady.

Now I feel guilty as it’s nice enough to get out but no mojo and a tender back. Actually slightly tired just now but I’d better not give in and try and snooze or it will just end up another sleepless night.

You may have tried this. Like you I don't sleep much. I'll head to bed at 10.00 and by 3.00am I'm awake but do manage to snooze after a brew.

This week I haven't been well. Back injury and food poisoning for 24 hours. During the day if I felt weary I've been to bed and slept for a couple of hours. I'd expect this to mean I wouldn't sleep at night but the opposite is the case. I've noticed it on other occasions as well. I'm beginning to think I should sleep every day for 1-2 hours to help me get a full night as well.

Just a thought.

Yep. And it will tell you before you download it is you have to pay. And you don't

I looked in the playstore when this thing started, there were dozens of different wordles, thats when I decided to stick with the website.

Chief, if you tack a 1x2 along the long edge of the plastic and cut it a footor so longer, you can just hang the board edge over the frame, tacking or clamping the other. That way you can pick up the plastic for watering.
WD....you might check the vac belt, if you haven't already. If frayed, stretched or dirty they can get hot enough to make the burning smell. Cheap fix.
Be well and safe.
