I don't know how people just randomly see words like that in these grids.

7:39 am

mael

good morning everyone

7:43 am

MollyL

*Bows to the Babble genius

7:45 am

mael

8:08 am

mael

8:36 am

MollyL

Thank you, oh word mistress

8:40 am

hokie carla

wow, thought I was onto something with etch(er(s)). I haven't had any coffee.

8:57 am

MollyL

Coffee comes before everything in the morning for me.

8:58 am

hokie carla

yeah, but we are out 😱. might have to go to the wellness center and get a cup.

8:59 am

MollyL

There is no running out of coffee in my house. I would sell one of my children before I would run out of coffee.

9:04 am

mael

same

9:04 am

rururocks

well coffee doesn't always come before everything

9:06 am

hokie carla

mr. homie is like you all. I actually am more addicted to coke/coke zero. I didn't start drinking coffee til my 40s. but he went to the grocery store yesterday and forgot it.

9:07 am

rururocks

coke zero is soooo bad for you

9:07 am

MollyL

His ass would have been sent back to the store if he lived in my house 😊

9:07 am

hokie carla

haha

9:07 am

rururocks

haha

9:07 am

MollyL

Or...Instacart to the rescue

9:08 am

Sophie512

never did drink it.....but made a lot of it over the years for G, so he could get up and get going.... love the smell......have been to Starbucks a lot over the years with my sister, but just never cared for it

9:08 am

Sophie512

haha Molly

9:09 am

hokie carla

we live 20 min from all grocery stores. I accidentally signed up for walmart+ last week which has free delivery, but they don't deliver here. there is a dollar general 5-10 away but they only have folgers.

9:09 am

rururocks

good god hokie to you live in appalachia?

9:09 am

MollyL

And what is the coffee of preference at Chez Carla?

9:09 am

Christa

Good Morning

9:09 am

hokie carla

lol, yes

9:10 am

hokie carla

born in appalachia, now back

9:10 am

hokie carla

we usually just get already ground dunkin donuts coffee

9:10 am

hokie carla

hey christa

9:11 am

MollyL

I like Dunkin coffee but it has gotten way too expensive around here. At least the beans have.

9:11 am

MollyL

I would suggest an Amazon subscription then, to prevent coffee outages.

9:11 am

hokie carla

good idea

9:12 am

MollyL

I couldn't handle being that far from a grocery store.

9:13 am

hokie carla

yeah, we just spent like 27 years being about a mile from one. it's different.

9:15 am

MollyL

I have always been within walking distance of one.

9:15 am

hokie carla

sometimes I buy a giant dunkin at costcos but haven't made it over there recently.

9:15 am

hokie carla

that's 45 min drive

9:16 am

Shirlockc

got wordle in one!!!! my strategy is to use one word until they they use it, it's the 2nd time i've got it in one lol

9:16 am

hokie carla

but the 3 costcos in charlotte weren't much better. 2 were 30 min drive and one was about 40.

9:16 am

LeslieAnn

shirl i did that once, then decided i won wordle so stopped playing

9:16 am

mael

lol shirl

9:18 am

hokie carla

I got it in 5. 🤣

9:18 am

MollyL

They will never use my first word because so many people use it

9:21 am

MollyL

Hmm, strange first word Shirl

9:22 am

hokie carla

I have one 1 in my stats. but they got reset when NYT bought it and I think I had one before then.

9:25 am

mael

i've never gotten it in one and I'm scared to check if my opening word has already been used

9:26 am

hokie carla

I didn't want to change after mine was used (READY) because I really had gotten used to what to play on 2nd guesses in various situations. But I did. Tried a ton more and have kinda settled on one but maybe I'll just go back to that one.

9:28 am

MollyL

Chances of getting it on the first try are 1 in 2500

9:28 am

hokie carla

much lower if your first guess has already been the answer, no?

9:29 am

hokie carla

I mean higher

9:29 am

hokie carla

wait, what do I mean?

9:29 am

hokie carla

see, no coffee

9:36 am

MollyL

So far, they have not used the same word for the first word. Eventually, that will have to stop.

9:37 am

hokie carla

yep

9:37 am

MollyL

So for now, the odds of getting wordle on your first try are zero if your first guess has already been used.

9:38 am

hokie carla

wonder what the odds of me finding this lower R are.

9:38 am

MollyL

You can do a Google search on "past Wordle answers" to see the archive of all the words that have been used.

9:39 am

MollyL

That r is not a weird word

9:39 am

LeslieAnn

that old thing, carla?

9:39 am

hokie carla

argh, that one always evades me. thanks, LA.

9:40 am

LeslieAnn

yw

9:40 am

mael

wordle hasn't used my starting word yet so I guess I'll get it in 1 eventually

9:40 am

MollyL

I was assuming Carla would get it without a clue

9:41 am

hokie carla

ha!

9:41 am

LeslieAnn

but she hasn't had coffee

9:41 am

mael

FW!

9:41 am

MollyL

Well Carla, you know how I feel about clue blurting and one had not been asked for.

9:41 am

hokie carla

👇🏻

9:41 am

LeslieAnn

congrats mael!

9:41 am

hokie carla

well done, mael

9:42 am

mael

thanks

9:42 am

mael

been a few days since I could play at all, darn holidays :)

9:42 am

hokie carla

well, I will take a clue whenever it's thrown at me unless I just started, in which case I'll hide the chat

9:43 am

hokie carla

anyone want to guess my missing lower S?

9:43 am

LeslieAnn

mine was se 4/6

9:44 am

hokie carla

duh, yep. I usually get that one.

9:44 am

hokie carla

bottom 2 rows gray!

9:46 am

hokie carla

28 left here. 8-6-6-6-2

9:46 am

hokie carla

10:01 am

hokie carla

10:25 am

BzznBea

i call bs on that 8

10:28 am

hokie carla

how did you find it if it's bs?

10:28 am

hokie carla

is it a C?

10:28 am

BzznBea

yes

10:29 am

MollyL

It is a variant spelling of a lute-like instrument. Okey dokey.

10:30 am

BzznBea

i was talking about the ch8

10:30 am

BzznBea

thanks for the ci8

10:30 am

MollyL

I like the "how did you find it if it's bs?" question 😊

10:31 am

MollyL

Oh, that ch is more like a quartz kind of rock I guess

10:31 am

MollyL

Someone rattled that off at the flip like it was a word we use every day. Sure.

10:33 am

hokie carla

well, I guess I'll just look up both

10:33 am

BzznBea

i found the base as it is a common babble word. then i looked further for plural, pt, more so...look for all the common suffixes

10:34 am

hokie carla

I guess I don't have the base since I still need 6 c's

10:34 am

BzznBea

ch5.14

10:35 am

hokie carla

10:36 am

doseffing

comparative of the first one(?) ... or is there a fourth 5/14?

10:37 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks, dos.

10:39 am

hokie carla

guess I should at least look for my 4s before listing

10:42 am

BzznBea

carla do you have the go6/7?

10:42 am

hokie carla

had the 6, not the 7

10:43 am

hokie carla

my other G was an easy 4

10:45 am

hokie carla

and the rhyming H

10:46 am

hokie carla

any cw? we haven't had those in a while

10:49 am

hokie carla

well, found 4 4's. 1-2-5-4-1 definitely not finding the big ones on my own.
