Wordle 332 5/6

My lack of being able to quickly guess a 5-letter word is balanced by my ability to almost randomly guess a country by its shape.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
The Rule: it’s a joke, people. I was Just alluding to previous discussions that V and I tend to use disclosed information in subsequent Wordle attempts.
That is, we use the green & yellow letters. As opposed to trying out new words without those letters.

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
I often begin with the same 2 words, but not always. That is helpful in getting it in 3 most days. Getting it in 1 or 2 is luck (good luck).

Lucky that my first guess was all greys, which narrowed it down helpfully.
