I hadn't previously explored the Waffle archive, but they mentioned that #106 had broken 52% of streaks on that day, so I had to give it a try. I'm not seeing a share link, but I got two stars on it. Fun challenge.

I would say "so did you" but for you that's just par for the course! I had a lucky second word.

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
I play a lot of word games and I am ridiculously methodical about the available options and optimizing my guesses. Sometimes it doesn't work but it works about 2/3 of the time.

I was just thinking the other day on how good it is that you can only do one Wafflegame per day because otherwise I might lose all productivity. And then they go and make the archive available

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
I was playing spellingbeegames.com today. It's a game where you find as many words as you can only using the given letters, one letter being mandatory. I entered the word, 'valarian' as in the herb/root and it was disqualified as a 'bad word '. I've never had that happen. I can't figure out if it means something else that I'm unaware of. In any case, the word I'm trying to spell is 'valerian' with an 'e' and it wouldn't work.

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.

The "figure out all the words first" Waffle strategy continues to pay dividends when I'm patient enough to use it.
