Ended my Hurdle streak today; I'd gotten up to nine straight wins yesterday, surpassing a previous best of, I think, five—definitely no more than that. :neutral: Still my favorite Wordle variant, though; and my win rate remains above 50%.

"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF
