I've gone a bit off piste with my wordle methods recently

My standard start was AUDIO usually followed by STERN so in those 10 you have all the vowels and some of the frequently used consonants. Now I just go random :-D

Worldle Wordle Nerdle Heardle

My scores
don't know my CA so a fail although got bordering countries, 5 (it isnt always a good thing to get four letters in the right place on attempt 3), 5, and 16 seconds and a no chance fail on heardle :-D

Dont think my selection on the PE Jukebox will assist anyone but there is a link.

It was a 5, 6, 3, for me with no hope on the Heardle as usual. Agree about the Wordle being luck required for anything from a 3 to a fail!! Made up for it on the Nerdle though!! :-D

Pop Quiz

Lines from songs you ought to know.
5 points for the song title, 2 points for any recognisable band that sang it.
Please put your answers in a 'spolier' so others can't see them.

I'll post the answers late on Sunday :)
No cheating now :lol:



1. You're gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion

2. The pump don’t work
’Cause the vandals took the handles

3. Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go

4. Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light

5. Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand

6. Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job

7. I'm not half the man I used to be

8. If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?

9. How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?

10. I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution

11. Caught in a landside,
No escape from reality

12. Some say
Tomorrow's another day

13. I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray

14. She was my woman
As she deceived me, I watched and went out of my mind

15. Sweet sixteen, ain't that peachy keen
Now it ain't so neat to admit defeat

16. You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar

17. See them walking hand in hand
Across the bridge at midnight

18. Wear a tall hat like a druid in the old days
Wear a tall hat and a tatooed gown

19. Although I always tell her
And so it's my assumption

20. Looky here, look out
I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums

21. So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion

22. When your girl has left you out on the pavement (goodbye)
Then your dreams fall apart at the seams

23. Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

24. So I went to the bank
To see what they could do
They said son - looks like bad luck
Got-a hold on you

25. Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul

35, but you got one of the artists correct but the song title wrong.
