Dave, yesterday I got purple first try on connections and then failed the rest. Today I got green first try and failed the rest. I guess I need to put more thought into it before making a move. I did get it once this week in only 4 tries.

Today has not been a good game day for me this far. Unless I was Jude. 🙃

Wow, I'm jealous of both of you! I don't know how I managed to do so poorly today when both of you aced it.

I didn't like having a word with 3 of the 5 letters being the same letter.

Yeah, thanks you little ♥♥♥♥. :D I picked the wrong four out of a group I realized too late had five. Surprised it was that uncommon.

I'm proud to say I actually figured out the purple category today; suspect it's going to be a process of elimination guess for most. Also:

Wordle 1,215 2/6*

🟨🟩⬛🟨⬛
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Hope that doesn't mean I've already used up all my luck for the day.
