Yup. It took me a bit of thought to come up with a 4th guess that would guarantee win on guess 5…

I admit that I ran out of words and had to take some help.

I only use a dictionary because there are words I simply do not know. This one was tough because I am well aware of that word but in another language. I guess it is an emigration; kind of.

I think this is the first time the answer was I word I've never seen before. I had to Google to see if those 5 letters really were a word.

As mentioned, it is very likely an emigrant from my point of view and an immigrant from yours.
Google: Steinkrug. More common, however, is the word TongefÀß = pot made of clay or Tonkrug.

When I think something might be a word that would be a good guess but am not sure it is actually a word I just enter it. If it is not a word Wordle will reject it and I lost nothing. This happens more in Spanish than in English in my case.

A good first word helps.
It also helps that my nephew has a collection of these.

I'm sure this comparison has been made a zillion times before, but it seems just as relevant.

I can totally relate to Wesley's utter bewilderment in The Game:

That's not a fair comparison. Wordle takes only a couple of minutes a day and not 1,440. And, personally, I use it to learn vocabulary.

Yeah. I wasn't really thinking in terms of the time, just in terms of the bizarre wildfire-spreading popularity - particularly the proclivity for sharing it (I see it a lot on Facebook too).

It's cool; it's just ... a phenomenon, worthy of note.
