We call know the classic Wordle trap, get it down to one letter with more possibilities than guesses. For example S_ILL.
Well yesterday we found the Quordle trap. By guess 3 we were close on one word and nowhere near on the others so we wasted three more guesses getting it the one. Problem was that none of the letters we guessed to get it
helped with any of the other words. So we had three words with 0,1, and 2 letters known and three guesses left. No chance. I don’t have the results to post because it was yesterday and I didn’t think to save it but we got 2
out of 4.
What we should have done was recognize the situation and work on the other words, in doing that we probably would have got what we needed to finish that one word at the end. But we had three correctly placed letters in one word and literally nothing in the others so that would have taken more discipline than we had.

Have you never spent part of your working day posting on this group
about anything? Is it ok for you to post about whatever, but if I spend
a couple minutes playing quortle and Wordle then I’m a no good bum who
needs to get a real job?
with the exception of xyzzy, who I know is an engineer that still works, gives talks, etc. I really don't keep up with this newsgroup regularly.
I've been posting more recently now that I see that Frisbeedood posts. I
play Wordle and the mini NYT Crossword puzzle each day, but don't really
have time for all the other <thing>dls. I don't even doodle much anymore.
I used to have people look over my shoulder and ask how I drew such
square boxes. I have a pretty demanding job (for me). I write about Kafka connectors for software developers. It's kept me busy for 6 to 8 hours
every day for a while now. I basically write about 200 different little products. I have to hit the ground running every day and never stop for
much, except for potential nuclear war, etc.

You also have/had a very nice house in a very nice part of the country. I’m willing to forgo that to have a more flexible daily schedule. It would be hard for me to work the way you work on a daily basis, without getting a big pay raise and the rightmedication. The communists were big on working for 8 hours, playing/eating for 8 hours, then sleeping for 8 hours. I would have been terrible communist.

At that point, I will be vested in all my incentive stock options, that are just barely incentive enough these days,what with the macro economic factors raining knives on my net worth.

Well yesterday we found the Quordle trap. By guess 3 we were close on one
word and nowhere near on the others so we wasted three more guesses getting
it the one. Problem was that none of the letters we guessed to get it
helped with any of the other words. So we had three words with 0,1, and 2
letters known and three guesses left. No chance. I don’t have the results
