Sure do. It’s like the worst man flu/colds that went to my chest I used to have before COVID – gallons of snort, copious sneezing and coughing. If this is as bad as it gets I’ll take it. My oxygen levels are good and I scored some antivirals which are supposed to significantly improve your chances of staying out of hospital. So I’m reasonably chirpy.
Am indeed, thanks for asking @tiggerlion. Mrs thep came down with it the next day – she’s having a slightly worse time of it than me, but she’s on the mend.
You can only get them if you’re old and fucked, but if you can arrange to be old and fucked the antivirals are the business… I’ve improved by leaps and bounds since I started them, weirdly perky and energetic. Of course they run out tomorrow morning, so maybe I’ll slide straight down the snake again. So it goes…
Chiz is sneke who crib anser and sa “sir sir me sir I kno!’ Chiz think class admire him but is uterly misgiuded in this as in so many other areas of life.
Chiz – I don’t think you’re quite understanding even the very basics of what we’re doing here. Lord knows we’ve given you every chance, but there remains a fundamental – what are the young people saying? – disconnect between you and the Wordle Project. And to be frank it’s starting to create some problems here. Morale, team building … we kept you on because, well, there was some sympathy for you when you came on board. Some of the old ‘uns remembered when you were quite the “young rebel” – brilliant but wayward, that kind of thing. But unhappily the brilliance – too strong a word – has become rather tarnished. There’s a general feeling that you’ll never be happy here, and your unhappiness is spreading to others. We – and I speak not only for the Wordle subset of this lively on-line community, but Western Culture in general – the whole civilised world – feel it’s time for you to move on. With our very best wishes, and absolutely no hard feelings! Perhaps you might try the Worldle thread? Or start your own! Good luck!
See, obviously there an O and and R in the first line, and you know where I placed them. It’s unlikely I used a letter twice in the start word, which rules out OTTER and OFFER. So then it’s quite easy to guess. See how much fun Reverse Wordle can be?
Ah! Still here, Chiz? Won’t get any easier, I’m afraid. Man up, there’s a good chap. Pastures new and all that! Oh – Tracy has put your stuff in a box, in reception. Never saw so many Happy Meal toys, apparently …
So assuming no double letter in the start word you can also rule out ODDER, OCCUR, ORDER and ODOUR. And you know from your own research that it doesn’t have a Y,A or L in it, so that rules out OLDER and OGLER… are we nearly there yet?
(covertly, into phone) Security? Can you send a man up to my office? I think one will be more than enough … yes, him again I’m afraid … no, he seems happy enough – oblivious … yes, right away, please …
So here’s where we have to leave deduction behind and venture into judgement calls. Would chiz dare to include a long-odds ‘W’ in line one? If no, then rule out OWNER. Is he clever enough to think of the vowel-tastic OUTER? Probably not, so that’s out. He’d like that ‘T’ though, a very reliable consonant. So what other options are there?
Chiz? Afraid I have to leave you on your own – meetings, meetings! Help yourself to … er … paperclips … *shakes head and leaves, closing door quietly behind him*
Every morning these days I switch on my computer, see the images in front of me and ask myself “When is this horror going to end? How can humanity allow this?”.
It’s luck, innit? Any possibility is as good (or as bad, in your case) as another. It’s not always on my side, though – yesterday I had to settle for a birdie. See you at the 19th hole!

Come on. We all enjoy a list. Top three things more boring than looking at Afterworders’ Wordle results.
1 Long-haul international flights
2 Deramdaze’s record collection
3 Folding laundry and putting it away
Gary says
1 One Man And His Dog
2 Licorice Pizza – the film
3 Licorice Pizza – the culinary dish that sounds a lot more exciting in theory than it proved to be in reality.
Rigid Digit says
Drilling big holes in the ground hoping to find water – that is well boring
Moose the Mooche says
My laundry isn’t folded, I have to crack it over my knee
mikethep says
Talking of folding laundry, Saucy, you once posted a YT vid of some magic way of folding t-shirts so they are practically invisible. We weren’t bored then, no siree. Care to post it again? I can’t find it.
Gary says
It’s probably in the basket.
H.P. Saucecraft says
Mike, I remember that. She did a one-handed flick thing. Do a search for “Japanese schoolgirl girl/t-shirt/one-hand flick”.

I am confuse by viper-bothering.
