I had an all yellow 2nd guess
Was your all-yellow guess the word "runic," by any chance? I guessed that before I guessed the real word. In retrospect it's a weird choice, but it's what popped into my undercaffeinated brain.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Wordle I get very worked up about. I got to 138 once. After that I switched to picking a start word from the Mini and have never even broken a hundred again.
Connections I play, but I'm not all that emotionally invested.

My nails are vermilion with a green to gold shimmer topper. The topper makes the polish beneath look more to orange side of things than the red side of things. I expect that this Bee's Knees lacquer is going to look awfully similar when it arrives next week. [link]

Was your all-yellow guess the word "___" by any chance?
I had that one as an all yellow before I got the actual answer.
Connections was a beast today.
The Bee dictionary has some noticeable gaps, but they have updated it to include some things that got a lot of pushback.

Wait, what does that mean?

Our wings are not tired.
I managed Wordle in 4 today, but found the letter box challenging. Had to restart.
I blew any streaks on the drive north because I was just too tired to get on a computer after driving all day.
eta: Do you do the Hurdle? It is a WaPo dealio, but I do it on the AARP site.

I often have to restart, because sometimes I just can't make words at first. I do all the word games while I have my first cup of coffee, and sometimes I need extra caffeine to get them done.

I don't, but we are AARP members, so I'll check the site.
