Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

I didn't know you could talk to the bot before you finished. I got it in four today, but I only found one pangram and am still not to Genius for the Bee... I have 189 as of right now. I try not to resort to hints until I hit Genius. I am, however, kicking ass at getting "purple firsts" at Connections these days.

Have you guys gotten the "create your own Wordle" on your apps yet (if you use the app)? I've had it for a week, and it's fun! I do one every morning for my Wordle buddy. He has not sent one to me, so I'm guessing it hasn't rolled out everywhere yet, but I keep forgetting to ask him. Or, actually, I don't think he uses the app. Maybe that's it. Anyway, it's fun!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I try not to resort to hints until I hit Genius.

My arbitrary number is that if I am 12 points or fewer away from Genius, then I can use the Spelling Bee Buddy hints. I use the regular hints (like the 2-letter combos) whenever I hit a wall. Some days that happens a lot sooner than other days. I am *terrible* at Spelling Bees that don't have an "E" in the mix.

Yeah I use the spelling bee buddy a lot with the two letter hints but have only looked for the more hinty hints if I’m trying to get Queen bee and only have a couple words left

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday to Jessica! Enjoy making snow angels and being spoiled by all. I hope this is a year full of joy.

The wordle I got in 5 yesterday. Spelling Bee was just annoying.

Happy, Happy Birthday, Jessica!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Thank you! I earned the '350 Perfect Puzzles' badge in Connections this morning, which was a very satisfying birthday achievement!

Good grief, five again on Wordle.
