I wonder how today's puzzle ranks in the 'averagest' of games.

Pf ave today: 4
global ave today: 4
average of all game averages: 4
global sigma of today's game: 0.8
global sigma of last 100 games: 0.8

The word wasn't in my old American Heritage dictionary. I had to fall back on the scrabble dictionary. :cool:

Well, I guess that could be worse. Then again with the braintrust amassed on here (and I'm not counting myself) one would expect PF to do better. Ah well, just goes to show that not all forms of intelligentsia are the same.

EDIT: After all I'd still be happier being able to tie my shoelaces :woot: .

EDIT2: Oh wait... I havent solved todays puzzle! I could bring the average up (or sink us all so low viXra would laugh at us. Should I try? I can always claim I "didn't have the time". :smile:

So did you know what the solution word meant? Ed says he had to go through 2 dictionaries, and I'm 99.99% certain I've never used the word in a sentence in my entire life. (I searched my FB account, opened in 2008, and found no evidence of the word.)
In any event, good job!

Ironic that if you'd used your recent usual 2nd guess, there would have been only 1 word left.
Perhaps it was Warma* saying; "Good for you for going out on a limb, I'm going to give to you in 3."

*Warma: The bastard child of Wordle and Karma.

I don't ;ways use that second word if I get two letters on the first try ....and I don't really know why. :cool:

Thanks, and no, I admit I didn't. Merriam gave me the answer right away though. A little ironic. :smile:

You don't disclose much (or did you actually tell us your seedwords earlier, the thread is slowly becoming a monster?!). Anyway, I'm curious, but of course you're entitled to keep them to yourself. :smile:
