Wordle 483 X/6
My first fail after 90 successes. I would have succeeded with 8 guesses.

Mine is incomprehensible. The area under the curve (games won) is W = 80, the total games played is N = 80, yet the current streak is 50. How can that be? If the streak is broken, I must have lost at least one game in which case one would expect W < N plus I don't remember losing any games. My stats don't look right, but clicking the link doesn't do much for me. Anyway, I'm not losing any sleep over this.

You don’t need to lose a game to break the streak. Missing a game also breaks it. For example, my current streak is 3 and based on my posts in this thread, I missed game 480 and solved 481, 482, 483.kuruman said:
