Wordle 659 3/6

Spoiler

A word I've never encountered before. I needed internet assistance to find it.

Had you been using PLSQL you would've been off the scale completely. I would have named it after you :)

I didn't know what PLSQL was until I googled it so I guess I'm safe.

<- another word that was not in my list.

Luckily it's one I'm familiar with.

Me too, on both counts. I was surprised to see it in Merriam-Webster's dictionary.

Ok. So I'm definitely out of both my comfort zone and my league. "Regression Calculator" indeed! I dunno where to rate you on the "geek scale. What even are the units? With evil it's "kilonazis", with beauty it's "milli-Helen" (after Helen Of Troy), what's the worlds biggest geek?

Some candidates are

Carl Friedrich Gauss
Leonhard Euler
Nikola Tesla

I guess Magnus Carlsen qualifies too.
Both mili-Gauss and milli-Tesla has a certain ring to them, although Tesla is already used for strength of magnet fields no?

Incidentally, I have a friend (lets call him Carl) who's always really intoxicated. So I joke that intoxication should be measured in Carls. He can reach one full Carl. I could maybe reach 200 milli-Carls.

It really annoys him. :)

Gauss is already used as well.

So you found it quickly too? Wp.

I definitely underperformed.

I definitely underperformed.

Well as I'm not a native speaker, yes. Yes you did. ;)

But a little luck sometimes goes a long way.

BTW when talking about luck here I meant of course that I got lucky. Not you. Just wanted that to be crystal clear! :)

I may be playing a little smart but I'm not out to offend.

Ouch

Yes, but that was a German word (either an emigrant or a parallel development). And a very common one (in German), too. This is something I simply do not expect.

Process of elimination. Even had to look up the word.

I "saw" what turned out to be the answer after my second word, but thought, "no that can't be right" so I entered another choice. D'oh.

They had solutions I didn't even consider a word. I am happy that they at least forego plural "s".

 

[gmax137]

I am happy that they at least forego plural "s".

Oh, is that true? I wondered as I typed in my guess #2.

 

[fresh_42]

Oh, is that true? I wondered as I typed in my guess #2.

I think it's true. One can neve know, but I don't remember an example like "lives".

They use the adverb "or diminutive "y", however. An earl can become an early.

EDIT:
I was trying out https://wordlegame.org/ where you can select how may letters should be in the word (up to 11). Suddenly this didn't look so hard. Not that I did much better though....

Also my current streak is down to 4 but I don't remember either forgetting one or failing one but I guess I must have....

A couple of (maybe related) observations:
1. In 3 days we will have puzzle number 666.
2. BEAST is a 5-letter word.

Man talk about under performing. Last time I do it in the evening. It wasn't even that hard. Or at least it shouldn't have been.

I have started using "random" starter guess words, just whatever strikes my fancy, instead of using something like AUDIO over and over again. This one, I used NASTY.

EDIT "random" isn't correct, I like words rich in the popular consonants.

I've been doing that the whole time. With a few favorites. like "AUDIO" and "QUART".

"NASTY" is a good one though :P

"QUERY", "WEARY", etc
