Wordle with SPOILERS

[figbat]

No it didn't. Ex pat states living brit for his US girlfriend

True, my mistake, although there were British English spellings incorporated initially which were parsed by NYT (eg “fibre”).

A big shout-out to @ClichéGuevara , @richardfm, @deptfordmarmoset and @Spartak for getting all greens in today's Wordle.

Failed today. The problem is that first thing in the morning I'm not very Lively, bold, full of spirit, cheeky

I accidentally opened this thread before attempting it (I thought it was the 'no spoilers' thread). So knowing there were 3 Ss I got it in one.

wouldn't it be better to open the wordle app / webpage before going anywhere near cyclechat wordle threads?

Yes, but I tend to sweep the CC unread threads before I open Wordle, rightly or wrongly. So far it has not been a problem but for whatever reason today I hit the wrong link and boom, got it in one!

Swiss asses?

Today I entered my first line, it showed no matches, then immediately my phone battery died.

When I restarted it I was back to no lines entered. I thought that this meant I had secret knowledge - no matches in my starter word. I proceeded on that basis. Turned out to be bollocks and my phone had died just before wordle accepted my first line.

So I got really confused and ended up with a rotten five, which I deserved for trying to cheat.

Crikey I really had to think about today's answer...

There wasn't a thing I could do

It wouldn't let me use CABAL today.

Why not? It's a perfectly good word. It's not specifically British English.

Hmm. Maybe it was a hard mode rule. Perhaps I'd already eliminated one of the letters.

It saved you another wrong guess though.
