I recently started doing Wordle again. When you guys say, "Wordle 610" where do you see the "610" part? When I open up the NYT wordle page, I don't see any identifiers.

If you solved it then you can press "share". This copies what we post into our local buffer. So all we do is: Ctrl+V and press "Post reply".

I'd like to calculate our common average, just out of curiosity:
Could you post your current 7-vector (# 1st, # 2nd, # 3rd, # 4th, # 5th, # 6th, # fails) guesses?
