I should try waking up at 3am more often.
You should try dancing until the small hours.

Just done it, took about 10 seconds. Looking at yours I think we had the same starting word.
The know it’s a popular starting word, so I wonder why they make these choices? Perhaps it’s to cheer everybody up. Mind you, according to the bot (which took 3 strokes) only 20% of 40,000+ got it in 2.
I must say Mike, I’m disappointed in your use of that starter (copyright Leedsboy) – as you say Madam Wordle must know it’s popular …
I should add there is no hint of bitterness in my comments and in no way a reflection of my effort today (which included a brain fart on line 4, see below). I may be lying re “no bitterness”…)
I use it every day. Tomorrow though…maybe not.
You and 12345645 others. Use it tomorrow, statistically it will still be your “best” option.

A cad and a bounder
That’s upset me more than it should.
I’m sorry… I looked at the Updates page here before doing Wordle, and there was the answer staring straight back at me.
A cad and a bounder
Sorry, I meant to say a bounder and a cad
I thought as much. Since I tend to be the first person in the entire world to post a result for a new round, I don’t have that advantage.You weren’t alone though – 1,346.828 people in the world got it in 1.

Even I couldn’t mess that up.
“Well played Chiz”?? He knew the bloody answer! A cad, a bounder who just happens to be a jolly nice chap
Hang on, I’ve just read the updates from today. Have I understood this right? Chiz saw the early posts from this thread before taking his go, worked out what the answer must be and just made that his first guess. Is that allowed?
Should be not only allowed, but firmly encouraged, imho.
It’s gone to the third umpire. Let’s have ball tracking please
No obviously it’s not fair, but after a while you can work out people’s start words and on this occasion I happened to see Mike and Hubes’ comments in the Updates, and there was only one word that fitted. What can I do? Get it wrong deliberately?
So do you not have a regular starter word then? If you do, you could’ve gone ahead and used it. Even if you’d put the correct answer in next there would’ve been a bit less unfairness involved.
I mean, look, it doesn’t really matter. And if we were chatting in a pub you would see my face and know I’m not looking for a row. So please don’t be too offended at my arched eyebrows. We are all friends here – as long as RayX doesn’t return.
Page 432 of The Rules clearly states “Wordlers must not consult any AWord page, including comments, before completing and submitting their entry. Failure to comply means instant expulsion and the Winners Cup to be awarded immediately to whoever is currently in last place”.
Hmmm, are you sure that those last few words about awarding the cup haven’t been inserted in biro in your copy of the rules, Lodey?
It’s quite succinct for Lodes. He usually uses lots of words.
I missed the bit about reading the thread before having a go. As a result of this secondary information, I’m trying to develop a pun around Chizjay Singh but it’s a struggle…
The Chizcago White Sox? Although they cheated to lose, rather than win, in the same way Lodes does.
Occasionally -I drop in to see how the Wordlers are going. Well rewarded today.
Arf!
Aww look, as they say in Aussie sports. I fessed immediately and didn’t try to cover my tracks. Think of it as Willie Johnston at the 1978 World Cup failing a drug test because he took antihistamenes for hay fever.
No, wait, they sent him home for that…
Oh yes.
Scotland in Argentina 1978.
The third and final group game.
Peru in those white shirts with the red sash front and back.
Bossing the midfield: the “Pele of Peru”, Teófilo Cubillas.
Two fine goals from him.
Scotland unlucky again.
That Peru kit was magnificent. Adidas stripes and a sash.
I cannot resist posting one of the most hilariously misguided football songs ever – still makes me smile
This is the real balance. Possibly the best football song in the world if the point of the song is to absolutely reflect the experience of being a football fan.
Agreed it’s a superb record. I understand why you rate it so highly. But the best one for me is the not-Afterword-friendly Three Lions.
I was at the last show of the Lightning Seeds 1996 tour at Shepherd’s Bush Empire. It was a fabulous gig all round but the highlight was definitely the appearance of Skinner and Baddiel to sing that song. Was it the only time they did that? The crowd went nuts. I’m was much happier that night than at the semi-final at Wembley.
I love Three Lions. It’s the best football song in the world if the point is to absolutely reflect the hopes for experience of being a football fan. Both songs actually have an emotional resonance that Oasis could only dream of.
And for balance…
or this one …
I remember the warm smell of Cubillas, rising up through the air.
Unifying themes of Scotland, World Cups and novel (but contentious) play:

A par to steady the nerves. Remain 2 over…
Play has been suspended until a final decision on Chizgate is reached. There are several options open to The Stewards although, personally, I think Gary’s proposal including the words “Chiz” and “Defenestration” is more than a tad draconian (although some might claim such a heinous flouting of the rules needs swift and severe retribution).
Better not be any sandpaper involved.
As a tribute to the fine tradition of generations of Australian sportspeople, I will not be walking until the finger goes up.
Outed yourself but not out !
If you want today’s word just PM me.
Heh heh we can form our own little time-crime syndicate. I’ll cut you in on the winnings
Who are The Stewards, by the way? Are their identities a closely-guarded secret by any chance?
Me, Gary and Chiz. Should be an interesting discussion….
I think a one shot penalty would be appropriate punishment
Gary is still playing hardball. Howsabout you agree to supply donkey milk for his bath for the next twelve months and then we can put this sordid episode behind us?
As a steward (aw, shucks!), I suggest we temporarily stop all play until everyone’s dead.
A friend of mine used to say that the appropriate punishment for all social transgressions was listening to Metal Machine Music very loud all the way through. I think he had a point.

When the curtain falls on today’s round, you must reveal your 4th line. A work of genius, I feel.
Here’s a clue –
” a smuggler (esp of sheep, from England to France)”
I work in mysterious ways my wonders to perform …
Given that, When you say “stuffed up an easy par putt”, it’s more a case of hitting it away from the hole.
That’s one way of looking at it. Some pedants might say the correct way of looking at it.
The Lodestone motto, as far as Wordling is concerned, appears to be, “Video Meliora Proboque, Deteriora Sequor”

Not so far but with Radio 4 anything is possible, anything. It’s dangerous out here on the edge of society where Chance rules and nothing, really nothing, makes sense. No wonder I occasionally make the odd mistake. It’s hard being logical when you’re terrified.
Lucky, coz there were three options for the first letter. As Lodes and Catboy discovered…

Halfway scores tomorrow. I propose to add 1 point to Chiz’s score (as suggested by him) in recognition of his, er, unusual gambit. Since there were three other eagles that day it seems unlikely that Chiz would have done worse. Hope that’s not too controversial.
We should all be admiring Chiz’ fortitude as he keeps on playing despite all that tar and all those feathers….
I accept the penalty, and want to say I’m truly a better person as a result of this unfortunate incident. I’d like to thank everyone who stood beside me during these dark days, including hey no hang on there wasn’t anyone was there

I’m back.
Completely unaware of any Chiz based shenanigans.
I’m rowing the Atlantic in December for a local Cornish charity and I’ve been on a training run for a few days from Falmouth to Scilly and back.
The last signal my mobile had was off Wolf Rock lighthouse and that was Thursday 1am.
I’ll jump back in once I stop swaying.

Excuses, excuses.
My god, it’s like having RayX back – “Sorry I can’t confirm my fourth hole-in-one in a row, I was too busy crossing The Atlantic in my tiny boat with only these enormous and stupendously -defined biceps”.. Yeah,right.
Blimey, welcome back! Look forward to a splurge of results once you get your land legs back.
I suppose we can rule you out for the December match then? You should post details of how and where to sponsor you – I can’t remember the last time a Massive member (…) rowed the Atlantic.
You’re wasting your time, Mike. Moosey’s not coming back.
Was it something we said? Or something we didn’t say?

You should, maybe, try it just to sure you are having fun.
Birdie, birdie, par, eagle, birdie: two minutes later all done, quick fag, fall asleep.
Nah..
If only. Using STARE just gives you a small statistical improvement on most other words but the rest is still a puzzle.
Eagles baffle me though. According to my stats I get 1.2% of eagles. 3’a and 4’s are pretty equal and about half as much for 5’s. Never had a hole in one and get about the same number of 6’s as eagles.
Aren’t eagles almost entirely luck? Obviously starting with a good choice is advantageous but anybody getting a string of eagles should be running off to the lottery (or else is known as RayX).
I’m honestly not criticising the use of advantageous starters, each to his own. I like finding myself wandering down a dark alley but sometimes, like today, it can be bloody frustrating!
Couple of months ago I tried using SLATE for a change. That was the month I got the spoon. Altogether unsatisfactory experience.

I demand VAR! This is a blatant and despicable attempt to wrest Spoonie from its rightful owner’s bosom. Justice For The Wrong!
You could go back and do 1180, couldn’t you – that would spare you another 7 (assuming you didn’t bust again).
Is it possible to do that? I thought it was lost forever once midnight strikes.

I’ll have to declare a 7 for #1180.
If you manually change the date on your phone settings, you can play the missed day. Just change it back to auto after or you join the cast of Groundhog Day.
I also saw the answer when I went a-googlin’.
Ah. In that case I would suggest a 5 is appropriate. A par would seem a little too neutral but a 7 seems too harsh. Especially for a first offence.

Help me out here, folks. Black Celeb has awarded himself 7 for missing 1180. Lodes suggests plumb1909 should get 4 for missing the same round. This seems unfair – either they should both get 4 or both get 7. What does everybody think?
Whatever we decide we should perhaps do the same with Jim – would be amusing if he ended up winning…
5
Howsabout it’s a 4 for the first missed day, then a 7 after that?
It’s got to be worse than par, I’m afraid. The 7 is what we agreed for those who slip off the edge of the board, as it were, by failing to guess within 6. This is different, I know, but we wouldn’t want anyone to have an incentive not to declare their true result by ‘missing a hole’ (yeah right) because they were out of signal (yeah, right).
Methinks, the type of player who deliberately misses a day to gain a par is not the type of player we have on this here blog.
Simple forgetfulness, pressure of work, catching a plane, a hangover sent by Satan are all understandable and forgiveable lapses.
Hence my plea for first-offence four. Subsequent misdemeanours deserve the full heavy hand of the law ie 7
“Simple forgetfulness, pressure of work, catching a plane, a hangover sent by Satan are all understandable and forgiveable lapses.”
Those were literally all the reasons why I missed #1180. A work trip to the other end of NZ…a long and busy day that led to a very entertaining rugby game in the evening. I enjoyed generous hospitality in the form of beer and wine before, during, and for several hours after the event. Back in my hotel room, I fell asleep fully clothed while watching the presidential debate. Woke up with a pneumatic drill pummelling my noggin and I’m still not 100% after two days.
I’m persuaded. 4 for a first offence, 7 thereafter.
How about ‘sailing round Fastnet’?

@henpetsgi As of the 15th hole you and Black C are way out in front in the quest for the wooden spoon. You are on 67 (+7), he is on 68 (+8). His 6 on the 16th gives you a problem though – you’ll just have to hope that he has a sudden run of birdies on the last two holes.
NB: any 7s will attract sideways glances at the very least, and may well result in a stewards’ inquiry.

Sorry, that starter has been banned on the grounds of it being too good. Mikep has been ordered to award you a 7.
Totally unsatisfactory. Stewards’ enquiry. Bluster bluster blah.

I’m with you on that. I only got it becasue I run out of real words with the letters I already had. And that took a while becasue I didn’t think it was a word. Bastards.
Bloody Americans, bloody Australians.
“You describe someone or something as a xxxxx when you think they are very good.
[mainly US, or Australian, informal]
His third goal was a xxxxx”
Not responsible!
Definitely a word. Hence I got in 2. A real, bona fide word. No doubt about it.
