Isn't that what you would expect if you miss a day?

Yup, That happens whenever you miss a day.

No, I would expect that if you don't play it would not affect the streak (as it doesn't affect the "win" percentage). That is how it works in sports. If, for instance, a baseball player has a hitting streak and doesn't play a game or more because of injury, the streak would continue if he got a hit the next game he played.

Not that I really care. :)

Ah, that was just mean. I know for a fact that missing a day didn't break my streak until I cleared the cookies.
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.

It broke mine! Each time I’ve missed a day my steak has reset, but my history is still there.

Waffle also does the same, I think.

More like Not feeling well enough to successfully Wordle. I tried and failed miserably, then went back to bed.

I'm OK. Not great, but not terrible. Thanks for the good wishes!

Here's my Wordle that I did before I tested positive this morning.

Wordle 540 5/6

⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜
⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜
⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜
🟨🟨🟩⬜🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Evidence that I actually am feeling better (compared to yesterday's debacle, in which I didn't get it solely because I couldn't focus sufficiently).

What's (arguably) even worse is when you know where you want your tile to go and you screw up with your mouse and the tile settles in the wrong spot. :doh: I've done that a few times.

*shudders* Yeah, that's happened to me, too. I'm always tempted to start over in an incognito window when that happens, but I wanna keep the streak going, so...
