<sigh> wrong one first… again

weird result

Another anagram that I didn’t know about and will likely never remember.

It is indeed one not to recall easily.

Apt for a science forum

That’s not even a fucking word. I tried JUMBO and DUMBO and then bombed out.

Fucking stupid Americans

Mmmmmm. Gumbo.

I know “gumbo” from the Carpenters’ song Jambalaya. And Forrest Gump.

It’s funny where we pick things up from.

I remember it from a Terry Pratchett Discworld book — one of the witches one. One of the witches (Granny Weatherwax?) commented, “You can find anything in a gumbo.”

Not quite. It was Mrs Gogol in Witches Abroad who said, “All anyone gets in a mirror is themselves. But what you gets in a good gumbo is everything.”

Thanks. A fluke.

Speaking of our former comrade, I found a stubby of his favourite tipple (Abbotsford Stout) on the bottom shelf in my fridge the other night. It must have been there for a good few months. Still tasty, though.

It logged me out yesterday while I was uploading my results.

Not an answer I would have expected.

Lucky guess

Talk about going around in circles …

Look at that!
Forget the hot cross buns – it’s exactly 11 months to Christmas.
Better get organised.

Oooh!

We’re all going to have to get 5-letter handles!

One of our own has been feted!

:)

They can’t have run out of words – I don’t recall either of our starting words making the cut, yet!

The New York Times is going to start recycling Wordle answers, starting in the next few days.

<sigh> Did it again. I actually typed gavel, then deleted it and tried legal instead.

It helps to include already-discovered letters in subsequent moves.

Got it in three, btm. Nicely done!

Thank you :) Fluke, of course.

A momentary distraction nearly proved fatal …

Not necessarily a word in the Australian vernacular.

Or, maybe, just not in mine.

That’s two 3s in a row. Well done!

stand or stank, and I picked the right one for once.

<sigh> looks like getting the right one out of two was a fluke.

Like yesterday, just a fluke.

I meant to add: I’m pretty sure we’ve had this one before. There were several possibilities, but slime and smile are anagrams.

I’m sure we have.
There was a story a little while ago reporting that the creators of the game would be repeating some of the solutions, even though there were still many words to be played.

Half a dozen options after the first line, and I chose the right one for a change:)

Luck. :) But you knew that.

First time I haven’t found any letters in the top two lines.

Good thing I remembered that Junkie is spelled with an ie at the end.
Also, another game where my first line contained no clue-letters.

Fluke? No. More like an educated guess, I reckon.

I’m waiting for the time when either of our starting words makes the cut.

btm said:

In two!! Good one, btm!

btm said:

Luck :)

Just to prove that yesterday’s two was a fluke :)

dv said:

Getting it in three moves – nicely done, dv!

Another game with no letters found in the first line.

Changing the look just for the heck of it.

Friday the 13th edition.

A bit late (I’ve spent the day in Melbourne and just got back), but…

You see Boris that’s how you do it, you work through a series of words methodically to get the answer..
You don’t show a jumble of letters down that don’t match anything and in the next line, bang, you’ve got the correct answer, that’s called cheating.

I have to be an expert in something so I chose cheating.
