Worldle - Because There's More to Life than Word Games

[Gunnar]

One guess again

[Bret Ripley]

Two -- first guess was way off the mark and then I guessed one we had on Globle a while back.

You did better than I did but I got it in four for the same reason. I guessed the neighbor to the west before guessing it. I'm not sure what to do with the neighbor to the east...

1 guess today.

Monday, June 13, 2022: I got it on the first guess!

[honorentheos]

Embarrassingly, as soon as today's country popped up I knew I was in trouble. Not because it was unfamiliar but because I had looked at it numerous times recently, knew I should know it, but couldn't recall it. I failed to get it in five. Maybe I should have slowed down and scrolled though names. Instead I shotgunned names at the screen I thought it might be, oblivious to the clues that didn't seem helpful anyway.

Guess I needed that reminder I'm a pretender in the world of geography.

[Xenophon]

It took me 3 today. Like you honor I'm mostly upset that as much as I've looked at the area lately I wasn't able to recall it faster. My vexillology must be getting better though as I knew immediately the general region and it was for a reason besides "well I have no idea so it must be generically here".

[Gunnar]

I confess that the reason I do so well on wordle is that, thanks to an app on my computer that shows the national flags of all the world's nations, I have memorized all those flags. Is that cheating? Memorization is one thing that comes fairly easily to me. I can hardly help doing it! My memory is not quite perfect, though. I do have occasional lapses of memory.

Celebrate your strengths, I say.

ETA: Unless you are Bret Ripley. He's a smug bastard who should keep his light under a bushel.

Suits me: I failed to identify the country in 5 guesses, so today I choose to embrace virtue by celebrating the bushel.
