Here you go with two days to play. @Badartdog looks unassailable. 2nd and 3rd is probably between 4 players. @steve-walsh and @junior-wells are looking to foster Lodes’s dear spoonie for a month.
15 players with below par scores as well and Lodes in a dizzying joint 11th.

16 holes gone and Bartfartyassdog is 14 under par??
No drugs, he’s as pure a dog’s whistle he is. Apart from that white powder round his hooter obviously. It’s been snowing heavily up north, I believe.
The sport has never been so clean, so keep your doubts to yourself, young Thomas.
Why, just the other day I met my old mate, Ray. He’s doing fine.
In Hard, you must use correctly guessed letters (even those in the Wrong place) in your next line. There is debate as to whether or not this actually makes the game more difficult but, like life, I play Wordle hard.
I think the Easy theory goes:
first line STARE with T, E & R correct but wrong place
second line CLOUD with OU correct but wrong place
third line – OUTER. Bingo!
Eezy and peezy
With all of Day 17 scores in, here is the leaderboard going into the final day. Badartdog is in a strong position but surely he is due a bad day (only one hole has been over par this round).
Remarkably, there is an outside chance that Lodes will finish in the top half of the leaderboard. We will all remember where we were if this were to happen..
Good luck to the four at the foot – someone is going to give Spoonie a brief holiday away from Lodes.

Nope Paul , not if you have any designs on Spoonie.
But hear’s a tip – don’t wordle while you are watching a close match on the tennis. You might just forget a confirmed correct letter for a couple of holes. FFS.
Ah it’s great to have you on board Junes! My trajectory was such that, if there had been 19 holes I feel confident that the spoon would have been mine. Well played sir.
Confirmation will have to wait until all players are in from the course. Insider knowledge informs me that Steve Walsh is yet to have his Supertramp album.
Waiting nervously in the club house as Leedsy marches down the 18th. Will he three putt to hand me the second place finisher’s traditional Green Underpants?
Just waiting on @badartdog and @malc. Spoonie last seen sampling vegimite and tying corks to his hat in anticipation of his upcoming trip down under…..
Sorry for the delay – I tried to do the spreadsheet update on my iphone but I couldn’t get it right (the alarm bells rang when I noticed my maths had got Lodes at -7…..
Headlines are….Badartdog has had a phenomenal round and takes the green gillet with a clear three shot lead. I managed to keep my nose in front of Chiz for the first loser spot and Chiz is second loser.
15 players returned below par rounds. I would say that was a fantastic stat if I had anything to compare it to.
Junior has, wonderfully, given Spoonie an all expenses paid trip to Oz where he will, no doubt, garner a taste for the new world wine which will make his inevitable return to the Languedoc a challenge for him.
Well played everyone and see you next month.

Beginner’s luck. I’m sure I got a lot more threes than I usually manage. Thanks for all the spreadsheeting, Leeds. Huge thanks to the Sarah who said to me at the end of December ‘ this late night wordling isn’t as romantic as you think’ thus inspiring me to play with the big boys. Her loss …
My par doesn’t seem so bad now. I didn’t know the asterisk’s significance before this month so I feel better about my lowly finishing position than I might have otherwise.

I would sell it to him as a brief holiday. Potentially to Australia. He’s going to be quite excited.

He’s had a month in New Zealand recently. Quite the jet-setter. For a spoon.

Has Spoonie been briefed of the perils of life down under? I suggest a selection of some of Thep’s and my posts should be sufficient.

Remarkably, there is an outside chance that Lodes will finish in the top half of the leaderboard. We will all remember where we were if this were to happen..
Good luck to the four at the foot – someone is going to give Spoonie a brief holiday away from Lodes.

Junior Wells says
Nope Paul , not if you have any designs on Spoonie.
But hear’s a tip – don’t wordle while you are watching a close match on the tennis. You might just forget a confirmed correct letter for a couple of holes. FFS.

Ah it’s great to have you on board Junes! My trajectory was such that, if there had been 19 holes I feel confident that the spoon would have been mine. Well played sir.
thecheshirecat says
Confirmation will have to wait until all players are in from the course. Insider knowledge informs me that Steve Walsh is yet to have his Supertramp album.

How did you know I would wake up this morning thinking Crisis? What Crisis? You must be psychic.

The in-play odds on me getting Spoonie must have shortened dramatically after my second shot. At least I can relax now and enjoy my breakfast.
Leedsboy says
Breakfast at 13:36. Chapeau sir.
Steve Walsh says
That’s the right time for breakfast in America.

Just waiting on @badartdog and @malc. Spoonie last seen sampling vegimite and tying corks to his hat in anticipation of his upcoming trip down under…..

Sorry, been out all day birding in the freezing cold…

Sorry for the delay – I tried to do the spreadsheet update on my iphone but I couldn’t get it right (the alarm bells rang when I noticed my maths had got Lodes at -7…..
Headlines are….Badartdog has had a phenomenal round and takes the green gillet with a clear three shot lead. I managed to keep my nose in front of Chiz for the first loser spot and Chiz is second loser.
15 players returned below par rounds. I would say that was a fantastic stat if I had anything to compare it to.
Junior has, wonderfully, given Spoonie an all expenses paid trip to Oz where he will, no doubt, garner a taste for the new world wine which will make his inevitable return to the Languedoc a challenge for him.
Well played everyone and see you next month.

Thenkyew, thenkyew. It took some especially incompetent, inatttentive and impulsive play to achieve this honour.
Black Celebration says
Thanks Leedsboy – a very well curated, incident-free tournament.
I was hoping alphabetical order would propel me to 4th in the list and qualification to the Wordle Fairs Cup tournament in Albania.
badartdog says
Beginner’s luck. I’m sure I got a lot more threes than I usually manage. Thanks for all the spreadsheeting, Leeds. Huge thanks to the Sarah who said to me at the end of December ‘ this late night wordling isn’t as romantic as you think’ thus inspiring me to play with the big boys. Her loss …
Clive says
Thanks Leeds well done everyone
mikethep says
Well-played Leeds and congrats to the top dog!
Lodestone of Wrongness says
3 under and yet there I am not far from the bottom. This really is Big Boys’ League.
Lodestone of Wrongness says
I can’t remember, has anyone pre-volunteered to score February?
mikethep says
One of the Steves I think.
thecheshirecat says
Don’t we say that every month?
Steve Walsh says
I volunteered. Still happy to do it.
Paul Hewston says
Thanks Leedsboy. My lowest ever finish but I don’t blame you. Hasta February.

My par doesn’t seem so bad now. I didn’t know the asterisk’s significance before this month so I feel better about my lowly finishing position than I might have otherwise.

Many thanks Leedsboy. I was chuffed to get -7 but at equal 6th I can see I will have to do better. Much better in fact given today’s failure
