They can make any claims they want and don't have to prove any of them. All I could think of was that bogus "neuroscientist" hawking her bogus brain pills.

GreekGeek June 10, 2022 Share June 10, 2022 A discussion on the main thread got me wondering: Do you play word or trivia games online, and if so, which ones? I got into Wordle a few months ago--after the time when it seemed that was all anyone did. I'm sad that my fifty game streak was broken today. It was those cursed rhyming words--I was down to my final guess and had all but the first letter and a 50/50 chance of being right.😢 There's also Word Hurdle, very similar except you have the option to play with four, five, or six letter words. I'm up to 28 wins on that, almost caught up to my prior streak of 30. For trivia, I play the New Yorker's Name Dropper quiz: you get six clues one at a time to name a famous person, living or dead. 1 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2175-small-talk-ill-take-non-show-chat-for-400-alex/page/40/#findComment-7499222

My brother picked up Wordle from my dad but Mum does not engage (although we sometimes play a similar game on paper). The only game she will play on the computer is Euchre, and she is annoyed that the version she uses does not force a player to play "alone" when one orders up one's partner to make trump.

Absurdle was the most challenging, but with more time I think I might figure out how to beat it.

I start Wordle randomly each day, although I almost always choose a word with at least 2 vowels. But I like to mix it up, and sometimes I’ll start with something obscure, just because. Still, it usually takes me only 4 guesses to get the answer, so take that, Glen Weldon! I need to play fewer word games and more games like Globle.

If you have a good memory or write them down, wouldn't that spoil the game? Yes, but I have always had a poor memory, and it has gone downhill over the last 25 years. I am able to function by having always been this way; I am good at figuring things out——there’s probably a term for that, but I’d have to look it up, LOL. And, since you’re probably wondering, I am terrible at Jeopardy! But my parents watched it religiously, so after they passed, I found comfort in it. And I never wrote the Wordle words down after I looked at the code. When Wordle first came out, I copy and pasted the word list in a text file, only allowing myself to look at the following couple of weeks of words at that moment. **************** 46 minutes ago, GreekGeek said: Curious: How does "Hard Mode" pretty much guarantee getting the word within the 6 chances?

I haven't tried it; it sounds as if it would be more difficult. "Hard mode" forces you to guess only words that are valid based on the information you know. So if e.g. your first guess reveals that the second letter is R and there is an I somewhere other than the 3rd letter, you can guess only words with R as the second letter and I as the 1st, 4th, or 5th letter. So on the one hand it stops you from wasting a guess on TRIAL, but on the other if you get to a point where you have too many possible options to try them all before 6 guesses are used up (4th row with FRAIL, GRAIL, or TRAIL as possibilities) you can't cut to the chase by guessing a word you know is wrong (FROGS? TOUGH?) but will rule out multiple options at the same time. 1 hour ago, 30 Helens said: Absurdle was the most challenging, but with more time I think I might figure out how to beat it.

I struggled especially with starting words for the 6 letter one - used to do stream, until that was the actual word one day, then moved on to goalie, and now enough (because I struggle putting a U in words later on so am getting it out of the way up front). For 5-letter, I now start with pious, and if that returns absolutely nothing, then metal is my second (and one day metal was the word of the day in the original Wordle!). The 4-letter one is actually the hardest for me because there are soooooo many rhyming four letter words and different possibilities, and you can't rule out very many letters per guess. I also do the Wordle Waffle - not sure I mentioned that one before. I have been doing it for a while now (at least a month) and haven't gotten any better at it. I often need multiple attempts.

But if I conclude today’s Wordle word was “easy,” the same daughter would point out that my “sample size” is too small. But it’s not like we just concluded a successful cancer drug trial. …or were even trying to come up with names of Argonauts: wikipedia.org/wiki/Argonauts#The_crew_of_Argo 😮 Edited June 12, 2022 by shapeshifter 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2175-small-talk-ill-take-non-show-chat-for-400-alex/page/40/#findComment-7503557

Prevailing Wind June 13, 2022 Share June 13, 2022 Thank you. Not only was he handsome, he was one of the smartest cats I've known. Stella, bless her heart, is cute & cuddly, but not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.

Prevailing Wind June 15, 2022 Share June 15, 2022 12 hours ago, 30 Helens said: What a beautiful boy, and so lucky to have been so very loved. My heart goes out to both of you. He was 3 months old, found in a playground. He was then brought to my vet, who said that because Stella was having behavioral problems, my pet needed a pet. We were introduced on a Saturday. I thought about him on Sunday, brought him home on a trial basis on Monday and paid the adoption fee on Tuesday. The first thing Stella did was throw him to the floor and start washing his head. Ten years later, every morning, he'd wake up, walk over to her, and present his head for washing. They bonded immediately. She's having a hard time now - she keeps looking to the front door, as if she's expecting him to come home any minute. I wish I could explain it to her. He was a beautiful, shiny boy. And he had a great sense of humor. I have an adjustable bed with a remote. It has "massage" features. Because Bosco knocked crap on the floor all the time, I kept the remote & my phone in the open drawer of the nightstand. One night, as I was sleeping, Bosco tried to lift my phone out of the drawer. It fell (because he had no thumbs) and landed on the vibrate button of the remote. The bed started purring. Oooooh...Bosco liked that. This past Sunday night, he purposely reached into the drawer and pushed the button. The bed started vibrating violently. (He must have pushed the level 4 button). I swear, I heard him giggling. He thought he was so funny, He was. 1 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2175-small-talk-ill-take-non-show-chat-for-400-alex/page/40/#findComment-7508450
