  2. I did write an introduction to this thread but I wonder if placed it in the wrong box.
    Anyway I hope that Lodey was inviting me to start a new thread as the last one had all but two of the comments gone gone gone.

  236. Talking of @gary

    If things go down like they usually do, this thread will implode in the next 20 or 30 comments. When that happens, if it does indeed happen, might I propose Young G takes the donkey by its shaved genitals and starts a new Wordle thread using whatever OP title he deems fit?

      • Well, what can I say? It is indeed truly both an honour and a bore to be gifted with such a position of despotic omnipotence. I’m not so immodest that I fail to realise my current status as by far the best artist to take up the Afterwordle palette is due in no small part to the incompetence of my peers, but I would be lying if I failed to acknowledge my merit.
        I have thought long and hard about a suitable title for the thread and, dismissing many weak puns that others would happily sell random limbs for, I have finally settled upon a simple yet effective cri de guerre. So let us once more cry ‘Havoc!’ and let slip the dogs of wordle!
