Im not quite sure what happened here. I initially solved it in 6/6. Then i refreshed the browser and it was the same puzzle so this shouldn't count. It's pure cheating.

I'm not sure what setting I effed up but obviously I changed *something*.

I'll be sure to tell you when I find out. We'll all look a bunch of idiot savants. :)

Im mad at myself. 😡 My chance at getting it in 2 was foiled by fat a finger, which happened to be a real word.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩Hmm, nope. I have no idea what weird combination of settings made it possible for me to solve yesterdays puzzle again and again. Probably a good thing. So I'm back to my usual skill level. :)

My phone's behaviour is getting more and more erratic though. I wonder what'll be next. I'm seriously considering disabling apps like drivers license, Citizen's ID and mobilepay.

With my luck next time I'll wake up being a broke North Korean woman working in a coal mine.

Strangely, when you paste the share-text with the boxes and all into the public ChatGPT interface it "tells" you, with considerable aplomb, what the solution is. Only it's not and doesn't make much sense.

Just FYI (NOT FOR CHEATING, However one would do that anyway.) here are links to the complete British Scrabble word lists. With, and without definitions.

https://boardgames.stackexchange.co...ollins-scrabble-words-list-in-text-file#38386The US counterpart is called TWL and contains fewer weird words.

I'm writing a little program which will let you select the number of letters in the word you're guessing. So there.

Hallelujah! 2 deuces in a row.
Once again, I got bored with my set of seed words and swapped them out 3 days ago with 'Easter' themed words.
