The dumbest thing I've ever bought
was a 2020 planner.
"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

I cheated, though. I was totally stuck at 3. And that was because there was only one solution possible but I could not get to it. So I used the wordle helper. So not satisfying.

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
The wordle helpers have their limitations but are pretty good once you've narrowed possibilities down. Also they (wordle/scrabble helpers) can be helpful in bringing up possibilities or words one might not be familiar with, although that doesn't happen often with 5 letter words. For example, in the final of this game

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.

Thanks, Rose!
I lost in the third round of today's Hurdle, but I got most of the other variants I routinely play.

My Wordle today was pure luck, of course. Still oddly gratifying.
