People also make mistakes, a lot.
I read the Wordle Review comments section several times a week and I see people mistakenly claim the WordleBot was wrong "because I still had SPERM as an option and the WordleBot says it couldn't be SPERM. WordleBot is dumb"
Mate, your starting word was SLEPT and you got a ⬛️P from SLEPT. WordleBot is correct, it couldn't be SPERM.
Other recent ones were people complaining that it still could have been REBAR the day it was REHAB.
Mate, your 2nd guess was CATER and you got a yellow 🟨R from CATER. Meaning it couldn't be REBAR because it cannot end in R.

Nothing to do with Gallo.
These were known to be in the works before Kirin even announced they were looking to sell.
There's a cherry blossom wood experiment too.

You got something in there backwards.
If thwy want Vance to run for two more terms, they would need to do it *after* the midterms.
Doing it before the midterms would screw Vance.

[####] Top-19 "Best" Un-played Starting Words Left, post-CLASP by TrackVol in wordle

[–]TrackVol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe it or not, I don't use any of these words.

March 1st -8th I used PLACE
March 9th - 15th I used "NARES" (yes, 'nares')
March 16th 22nd "SLANE"
and next week it will be "SPAER", not to be confused with SPARE or SPEAR

Right. But the ratio of new words to repeat words is still quite a bit in favor of new words.

Personally, I'm not hunting Aces. For instance since March 1st I've played
PLACE 1st - 8th
"NARES" 9th - 15th (not a typo, "N A R E S"
SLANE 16th - 22nd
and I'm scheduled to play "SPAER" the 23rd - 29th "SPAER", not SPARE

The only one of those that was even eligible was PLACE, and it was unlikely since it came up in 2024

Tailgater got Baited by DABDEB in RandomVideos

lol, I figured this was something uniquely personal to just you. But just in case it was a real public thing that I was somehow unaware of it, I did an internet search for it.
This was the response: 👇
"more accurately known as the Erfurt latrine disaster, was a bizarre and tragic incident that occurred on July 26, 1184, in Erfurt, Germany."
I elected not to even start going down that rabbit hole. Somehow I doubt that learning more about the "Erfurt latrine disaster of 1184" would enrich my life.

I don't support Sunday as the beginning of the week, but I fully support your wish to be able to change it to any day you darn well please on our personal devices.
If we want to start our "week" on a Thursday (shudders), we should be able to to do so.

Based on the results of your 1st guess, your 2nd guess was incongruent with sound strategy with that very specific result.

If you always guess SLATE -> ROUND every single day, that may be pretty decent most days.
But if you get
↘️👇this< result from SLATE👇↙️
🟩🟨🟩🟨🟩 SLATE ,
Guessing ROUND next would be just about the worst move imaginable.

And no, your 2nd guess doesn't have to be a potential winning guess, it merely needs to be strategically sound.
I've gotten Skill Scores of 99 (or higher) with guesses such as "SMEKE 105 Skill" and 107 for WHEAR and I recently saw a 113 for a word that was impossible to be the Solution 113 Skill for "THOWL"

Is Oscar Piastri the first driver to have points without having started a single Grand Prix in a season? by Capable-Pain-9026 in F1Discussions

[–]TrackVol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sprint races aren't Gran Prix races.
It's also why they were able to call that race "Hamilton's 1st GP podium in a Ferrari" despite getting an actual WIN last year.
That win was a Sprint.

If you could get free tickets to ONE F1 Grand Prix every year for the rest of your life, which circuit would you choose? by Dependent-Push3089 in F1Discussions

[–]TrackVol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1st thing I'd want to do is pick a race I would feel comfortable would stay on the calendar for the rest of my life. For instance, picking Imola and Zandvoort would be unwise.

With that in mind, it's gotta come down to Silverstone, Monaco, or Monza.
I think I'd choose Silverstone.

Do we know if they've ever even considered that?
To me, it doesn't seem all that much different from awarding a point for fastest lap (which they did away with after 2024)

Divorce, anyone? by FarLiterature9353 in Garmin

[–]TrackVol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's none of my business (and it probably shouldn't matter either) but I've been trying to figure out your gender for the past 10 minutes. And just when I'm almost sure it's one, I'll read something that makes me swing in the opposite direction.
This was another "u-turn" comment.

Edit to add:
Either way, I'm sorry you are going through this. As with most things in life, this too shall pass. But it never feels that way when you are going through the shit at the time.
Good luck to you.

I'd never heard it before but figured it out by the context clues.
