Five seconds today of nearly pure, unadulterated luck. I just wanted to try two more vowels and one of the consonants I always use in my first or second guess.

So I got yesterdays "staid" in 4 after purely guessing at the answer. Never seen it spelled out in my life.

So how many eagles are you up to in the past 10 days?

Legitimately has to be some kind of record.

Eagle: 4
Birdie: 2
Par: 2
Bogey: 1
Double Bogey: 1

Congrats!

That's an incredible 3.3 average for 10 games.

You just have to be willing to accept the ups/downs of your approach, which I assume doesn't always yield such spectacular results.

FWIW, WordleBot's average for the same time period was 3.5 (5 Pars/5 Birdies) and WordleBot's overall average from 11/22/2023 to today is 3.41.
Nov 22nd was the date that the new Wordle editor started to choose her own words for the puzzles.

I don't really have an approach anymore per se, I have four or five words I like to start with, then I keep a post-it note with another 12-18 words that have some of the letters from the first word list along with letters I like to try and guess second. My average is way down lately, I am at 3.667, but you're right, I had a week a couple weeks back where I had three or four bogeys in a week.

Man, if I had gone with my first thought on my second guess this would have been a birdie instead of par.
