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.

Wordle I get very worked up about. I got to 138 once.

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.

found the letter box challenging. Had to restart.

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.

My win streak was 138 before I blew it.

It was, Tep! I also had the pre-coffee weird choice, I guess (Eta high-five to brenda as well)

I don't think my brain works right for Letterboxed. I've only tried it a couple of times but it does not seem at all fun, just hard.

Pretty nails,, PMM!

Wordle lost all my history a couple of years ago and while I am still mad about that I am not emotionally invested in my stats or streaks anymore

The new(ish? I just noticed it recently) Connections bot says today was exceptionally tricky, fwtw. There's something I don't like about Connections bot, can't put my finger on it, but seeing what other people did in aggregate is interesting

Epic, you have maybe already thought of this, but in case you did not, have you looked into insurance through Covered California while you don't have employer provided? One of the things it's supposed to be good for, I think
