I predict Mike Thep will get a birdie for tomorrow’s game, and Chiz be flipped one.
Oh well, if you insist. On a streak of 106.

Given my reach-around, Chiz should hole-in-one.
Sliced the tee shot unfortunately and had to recover from an out-of-bounds lie.

Not sure what a birdie is. Have I got one? But: bugger.
Not a golfer, but I think a birdie is one under par, an eagle two. Wordle, we seem to have agreed, is par four. Saucesplained?

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well, i thought today’s was a right so and so..
Streak of 65, rushed and failed, while waiting for a ferry to France and kind of assumed the usual crap WiFi in southern Brittany would prevent me playing whilst there. Was able to access every day. On a massive streak of 11.
Using “penis” as my starter was a bit of a flop

You’re a truly free spirit, chiz! LET NO MAN TELL YOU WHAT TO DO! RUN! RUN LIKE THE WIND! YOU ARE FREE!
PICK UP YOUR BLACK BALL AND RUN!
AMSCRAY AWREADY!
I can tell you’re secretly impressed really. How does he do it? Precognition? Time machine? Secret camera over HP’s shoulder? Truth is, there’s no big secret – I just study the form and play the odds.

Sir sir! Chiz made me do it, he sneaked the word to me and I tried it.
Hopefully he won’t do it again.
Please Sir, it’s not my fault one of the prefects leaves the answers lying around 6 hours before the test begins.

I was trying for a perfect staircase – no yellows – the word aspect was of lesser importance.
Caddie gave me a large snifter just before my 3rd shot. Fluffed it but still saved par.

What are the chances of that?! Nil, I’d say. None more nil.
Sorry H P but all above board (despite Chiz’s doubt and accusation). Usual starter word my second line was a guess for different letters, I was pleased when I struck lucky.
Looks likes Lodes almost hit it on the second row too. I’ll ask my statistician friend what the odds are.
I’m especially pleased after Chiz gave the word away the other day.
I didn’t give it away though, did I, as no one looks in here until after they’ve done it, apparently, as that would be ‘cheating’.
Seriously disappointed by the lack of respect for my extraordinary feat of deductive reasoning on Monday night. Philistines, the lot of you.
I didn’t come here I saw it on the updates page.
I believe you, Hubes, because you have an honest face. Unlike Chiz.
An honest face, but recidivist knees.
And hips that don’t lie
Recidivist knees! I’ll have you know they’re cocker.
Shtroik a loit Meery Poppinsh!
As thread caddie, I should warn all players that as I’m usually amongst the first to brag about their achievements, I’m going to spell the answer out tomorrow to spoil chiz’s “Trump” game. The Arnold Palmers can come here after playing, as usual.
I’m betting Chiz gets it in one tomorrow
A twenty five second birdie. I, like Lady W, prefer things to move more slowly

I toyed with GUEST as a second shot, but preferred the zippy z over the grotty g.
I went for t over z.
Actually, I think showing the answer makes the thread more interesting, if that could be possible, as we can show our workings. Corinthian players can come here (the 19th hole) after playing the course.
Trebles all round!

Come now! That’s a perfect representation of UFOs over Cley Hill.
Ooh well here’s a dilemma. Do I trust this man, Captain Snark, the Mendacious Misanthrope of the Mekong?
Obviously my instinct is no, don’t be daft, HP doesn’t have an honest bone in his body. But mikethep confirms that the word has S, T and E in it and they’re not the first two or last three letters. So that’s looking a lot like _EST_. Could be PESTO, except Mike’s 3rd row rules that out. Looks like Mike went with TESTY before settling on the only remaining possibility.
So my conclusion is: yes, Mr Saucecraft is telling the truth on this occasion.
In another move from Trump’s play book, Chiz accuses me of dishonesty. Also – Biden lost the election, and is represented in public by a team of Hollywood actors (including Jim Carrey) to cover up his advanced senile dementia.
Come now, Trump would never accuse someone of lying and then change his mind after a testing bit of mental gymnastics. Credit where credit’s due.
Fair do’s (and note apostrophe).
