A litle early but first of the month is (almost) upon us and time to gather for the may Wordle Golf Championship. While we in the Northern Hemisphere will be casting off our heavier slacks and sweaters, our friends in Southern climes will be feeling the days turn a little chilly as they lead us off. Beginning at Wordle #1412. Have a great round everybody and try to avoidβ¦

I’ll try to get time to check my figures and post an update later this evening. So far, mikethep keeping calm and making steady progress – three players bunched together three shots behind including a menacing Leedsboy waiting to pounce if given a chance…Lodesy with one hand on the spoon but I haven’t ruled myself out of that competition yet…

My dearest companion, Mrs W, does Wordle each day. No safe starters for her, whatever 5 letter word appears around 7.30a.m. Her results are almost invariably better than mine.
Today she struggled and ended up with a sixer. I showed her my five and then commented “Lots of my “chums” scored 3 or 4 today.”
She looked at me askance. “Mmm… are you completely sure that your “chums” are trustworthy chaps?”
“I’ll go and make you a nice cuppa” I replied.
I didn’t get past the bit where you referred to us as ‘chums’. Thats quite moving.
Your wife sounds like she doesn’t suffer fools gladly. Ironically.
Ooof! Lodestone didn’t see that coming, straight to the solar plexus, no mercy.. looks like it’s all over ….
My tongue was in my cheek. I’m sure you’re quite the catch.
They thought it was all over, it is now …

Think we’ve discussed before that “Easy” mode whilst no guarantee of quick success does mean failure is damn near impossible….
Why?
Because I use a bit of sense?
There are at least four options left and only three attempts remain.
Just teasing! You, of course, can use whatever method suits. It keeps you away from my old mate, Spoonie….

Anyone wants to host for June?
Well gosh. I think thatβs only the second time Iβve won since we started this nonsense. Thanks to Max for impeccable curating and thanks to everybody else for letting me win.
Iβll do June – least I can do.
Well played Mr Thep. Consummate performance.
Congratulations @mikethep and many thanks to Max for a very smooth event.
Thanks Max and well done Mr TheP. That was a tough month with many headscratchers.
Even by my standards I played really badly. Great fun though. I’d like to thank my backroom team at Radio 4, they done good.
First time I’ve seen Spoonie in ages: he’s got some strange marks on him but whenever I ask he’s got that wooden expression he adopts …..
See you all June 1st.
Well played Mike. Thanks Max. Thanks everyone.
Until June…
Thanks Max and congrats to Mike. A pitiful month for me, but Iβll be backβ¦.
