Broke my Birdie string.
Could have been a lot worse because there are at
least 5 possible variants using the same last 4 letters.

The current NYT average is 3.9.


07/11/2022: Wordle 387 3/6

Used AD as a search key and figured there had to be at least 2 A's.
Based on that, MADAM was the only word that fit the pattern.

WordleBot said that BLAND and GLAND were also possibilities
but they did not fit my search key.

The NYT average was 4.3.

50/50 choice for the Birdie.

Same letters as on 07/11/2022. That eliminated
the word for that day and also limited the choices
to just the other 2 possibilities for that day.

The current NYT average is 3.7.

Another lucky guess saved Par.
LIGHT revealed the pattern but that still left:
NIGHT, MIGHT, TIGHT & FIGHT for me.

The final NYT average was 3.9, which is surprising
considering the 5 possible answers for me and possibly
more for others depending on the starter words used.

Did well today!

Bummer, Bogey 5.
Too many possibilities . . . oh well.
Win some, lose some.

The current NYT average is 4.5.
So, it is moderately difficult. It even took
WordleBot 5 tries to solve it.

07/13/2022: Wordle 389 3/6

Same letter pattern as in Wordle 387, which
eliminated MADAM and just left BLAND and GLAND.

The NYT average was 3.7. So, it was fairly easy.

Wordle 391 3/6

07/15/2022: Wordle 391 3/6





At least 6 possiblities per WordleBot.
Only 3 fit my letter pattern.
Chose the 1st to occur to me.
Better lucky than smart. LOL!

The current NYT average is 4.5.
So, moderately difficult for most players.

07/14/2022: Wordle 390 5/6

I never liked LIVER!

The NYT average was also 4.5.

WordleBot scored a Bogey 5 on both puzzles, so they were difficult.
