Ah, now you're starting to see the siren call of the fives and fours, rather than the twos and threes.

(Sixes should be fun, but they're a bit scary)

Well, it depends. I love the slowly revealing ones. As the greens slowly pop into their spots and the choices narrow (but not so much that I can’t come up with a word).

I hate the 4s and 5s when I’m chasing a letter around as it stays bloody yellow. Those are very frustrating. And yea, sixes are scary.

R was asking me today whether I have more 3s or 5s. And I told him about our philosophy here - 5s better than 3s! He was intrigued.

I'm only a sometime member of the June fun theory. Actually, I'm easily satisfied. As long as I get it in 6 or less, I'm happy. There are different pleasures for each level.

Well, yes. But it’s still a discussed approach here. Much discussed.
