@KimberlyHirsh I have gotten to annoyed with Wordle of late. i decided to give myself 5 minute to solve, or move on. Thanks for the book recommendation!
@jean I still do Wordle every day, as I'm waking up, before coffee!!! I think the key is to relax about the fact that you can lose.
@JMaxB First of all, I must have coffee to do Wordle. 🤣 Second of all, apparently I am a poor loser, so I end up spending way too much time sifting through the possible guesses. That’s why I’ve set the 5 minute timer. It’s been a good kickoff to my workflow every morning.
@jean I got tripped up twice recently by Wordle. Broke my streak. I don’t mind missing when I see the answer and say “aha, should have thought of that!” It bugs me when, like today’s answer, I say “ugh, that’s barely a word.” Too contrived. Save that for a Sunday!
