I think that’s been hung upside-down.
I think you’re right! But I’ll leave it that way, to avoid damaging it.
It’s in good company:

Keep up!
Sometimes (ok, all the time) Gary is slow on the take up
He tries, though…and that’s what’s important.
‘God loves Lars von Trier’, as me old mum used to say, incorrectly.
Reminds of of a time between marriages, a girlfriend was helping me decorate a flat. We’d put up three strips of wallpaper and sat on a couch having a drink looking at our work when we realised the wallpaper was upside down.
It stayed that way as did the rest of the wallpaper.
My brain hurts.
Audio.
I don’t think you’ve got the hang of this at all.
@gary the square-cut Damien Hirst of the Afterword.
Not sure if Gary has got the hang of Wordle yet but if anybody can do it, G Boy can.
Any minute now Mike will wake up and then the fun will really start! Who said, apart from Gary, that Wordle is boring??
ps I preferred “Havoc”
I would have gone with “Havoc”, but I was worried that such an interesting choice might distract you too much from the pain in your leg and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

I like it very much! Couldn’t help noticing you were a bit rude to Lodey there, but as we still haven’t fully resolved the question of whether or not artistic temperament can justify unconventional morality I don’t see any need for apology.
And “💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥THREE and fuck you Lodey💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥” is, in all fairness, a fine title for such a visceral piece.

But what a superb result! A little patchy in places, sure, but overall quite delightful.
Do you ever sleep? Or does Italy have its own time zone?
It’s 7am here. I actually sleep a great deal. I usually go to bed very early. I try to have about nine hours in bed, thus guaranteeing at least eight hours sleep. Plus an hour’s siesta after lunch. Though, having said that, I am not the lazy feck some might mistakenly assume. For though I am undeniably a workshy fop, my morning is devoted to beach (if weather nice, which I think today will be) or gym/pool if not.
I merely asked because during some of my recent sleepless nights I can’t help but notice you’re “active”. Not that I’m stalking you or anything (by the way, your garden’s looking nice)
I do like to wake at hourly intervals during the night to check what you’re up to. In a very sort of pervy way.

Now, to be clear, there are no rules to art and symmetry is not always the best option. Having said that, if you had just moved that black in the second line one to the right and put a third black in the third line, I think that could have been a masterpiece. As it is… meh.

Nazi!
All Members of the Afterword Wordle Society held a meeting last night (it was rammed in there let me tell you) and it was unanimously decided that you, Gary, are now Official Curator of the Afterword Wordle Thread for evermore.
Just think, before you took over it was all “Poor Mike, he’s failed again” or “Do you think The Baron cheats?”.
Just look at us now! We love you, Gary!
*red-faced blokes in vile pinstripes bang desks*
Cheat?!? You inbred wino!
Envy is the feeling you have when you wish you could have the same thing or quality that someone else has.
`Gradually he began to acknowledge his feelings of envy towards the Baron.`
`He gazed in a mixture of envy and admiration at the beauty of the Baron`s Wordle.`
Synonyms: covetousness, spite, hatred, resentment, jealousy, bitterness, malice, ill will, malignity, resentfulness.
Pity the inbred wino. Have you tried using a corkscrew when you don’t have opposable thumbs?
Agreed – the wordle world salutes you.
Thank you. I feel very proud and humbled that my stewardship of the thread is almost certainly the main motivation for @junior-wells in taking up Wordle art as a full-time hobby (and with such passion!). But at the same time I’m saddened that @h-p-saucecraft has seemingly abandoned what might have potentially been a fairly promising Wordle art career for that very same reason.
Whilst I thrive, positively thrive, on responsibility, I would eventually like to pass the baton of liability on to someone less confused once we have reached the bottom of the internet.
HP too busy on his Foam Island regaling his many (?) followers with tales of obscure hippy bands from the sixties to take part in Wordle Art. No, Gary – only you will do. Only you.
ps if not you then Paul will have to step in: let’s hope he’s not recording a new album or saving the world …
Today’s offering from HP starts
“Flock Rock swept the world back in (RSRCH. PSE ED) [Do ur own friggin’ rsrch – Ed.]. IT’S FLOCKMANIA! screamed the headlines in 120pt sans. Teens worldwide “flocked” to buy Flocks Merch – headbands, bongs, limited edition tarot decks, Slinky©s, steak knife sets, arch supports, chew toys, fridge magnets, Hi-Waist™ old guy underpants, Flocks Sox©, and a host of other collectible collectibles now fetching up to .01 bucks on etunes! Yessiree Bob! Or not.”

How’s that Lodey? 5 below par on the trot including a 2! Hope that open bottle of Red doesn’t go off ; – ))
You failed to appear before The Stewards yesterday.
And contrary to common belief, being incarcerated in a French hospital does not mean an endless supply of red wine and foie gras.
‘Kin hell Lodey, I didn’t know you were in hospital. I truly hope it ain’t serious old bean, as they say, get well soon.
He’s having an extra knee fitted.
No, they stop serving at 11pm
As Gary says, a knee replacement which, in France, means up to a month in kine learning to walk again. And the kine people are all sadistic bastards who love seeing me cry. Bastards!
Thanks, Baron, for the kind words
Apparently not so long ago French hospitals forced you to have a glass of red wine with every meal (including brekkie). Them days are gone
Back in the 50s/60s the health advice from the French government was no more than a litre of wine a day.
To be fair, average life expectancy was 43 at the time
The Baroness has had the same op Lodey, right leg. She’s waiting for a date for her right knee. It’s not very comfortable she tells me but worth it in the end.
Hey Lodey, nearly forgot to tell you, another below par today. That’s 6 on the trot!

I’ve noticed that the bot often plays a second word that has no relation to the first, even if it’s already got some greens. I can’t ever quite bring myself to do this.
If you play the “difficult” version such skullduggery is quite rightly not allowed those on here who play difficult have a * next their score. I don’t play difficult but, of course I’m a gentleman, I abide by those rules
Bots aren’t gentlemen (the great lost Wodehouse novel). That’s what I mean really. It seems excessively devil-may-care to waste letters you’ve already found.
I’ve no idea what anyone’s talking about.
@Gary twas thus everso.
Ditto
Say you use STARE in the first line and two of those letters are correct.
Some charlatans then ignore the correct letters and enter, for instance, GHOUL. If any of those letters are correct then obviously combining those with the first line-corrects gives a fair chance of a birdie or par.
I am certain nobody in the Afterword Wordle Club would stoop so low
This is all very confusing and, frankly, unlikely to help anyone. What I would say is this: Don’t be misled into feeling that symmetry is key. Depict what you know. Use the colours in a way that reflects the world around you. As your skill develops, introduce new patterns, not without caution, but always with more thought given to self-expression than aesthetic appeal.
Wise words – an inspiration to us all

With well over 272 comments on this thread, I think it’s time for me to relinquish the reins and hand over the baton of liability to a new, younger, more well-endowed aspirant Wordler. My time has come. My fingers are gnarled and warted, my mind no longer as sharp as cling film.
As curator incumbent, I believe it my duty, nay honour (but really duty), to nominate my successor. That withstanding, I hereby nominate Paul Hews(t)on. As is customary in some backward countries, I’ll start the new thread and then leave the cleaning up to him. I might continue to contribute or I might not, as whimsy and decrepitude dictate.
Good luck and God bless, @paul-hewston*

That episode of The Tomorrow People fair shook you up, eh? I’ve sent it to Putin too. I hope it’ll make him come to his senses as swiftly as you have. Though I doubt it. He lacks your wisdom and integrity.
Well, while we’re waiting for Paul to wrap himself in the robes of state, I thought I’d give the bounder’s gambit a go. Didn’t work out well.

Post this over there, over there!! Over there! Are you blind? Over there! It’s called “Gary can’t be arsed”. Over there!
(I sense no shame, Gary, no shame. Yet you will forever be remembered as The Man Who Sold The World. People will turn their backs as you pass and whispers of “Him that broke the sacred Wordle” will abound. As for Bono Boy, he might as well not exist)
What is bonobo? Where is Beatles band?
When you put Gary can’t be arsed into the search box, it takes you to a review of a Kray Brothers movie. Hmmm…
I was never a Kray brother. Not really. Though Violet Kray is buried in the same cemetery as my Nan (true fact).
The thread you’re looking for has (rather confusingly, I admit) the words ‘Brand New Wordle Thread‘ somewhere in its title.
