Wordle
got it in 3 although can't remember the last time I used the word in polite conversation.

Nerdle 5 on classic Nerdle

Heardle got it in 16 with research :-D

I think that little crop of "dles" is a nice little gettable workout. Don't think I need the extra challenge of putting attempts against the clock, but they will come and have done already for Nerdle with the arrival of...

I'm inclined to agree there, doing it against the clock just adds pressure which we just don't need. It must remain fun for me to keep doing it and I doubt if I will make a habit of racing against the clock though I may well do them at leisure occasionally, ignoring the clock, just to pass the time ! :-D

Heardle got it 16 secs, the artists are right from my comfort zone, and one of the performers at least has had tracks posted by Steve on the PE Jukebox...

Another mixed performance on the rdles today. I was confident in my part of the world although it needed a second stab. A lucky third guess on the wordle makes it look better than it should, having had 'lowly' the other day I went for the answer instead of 'lower' which was my first thought! Usual story on the heardle - not a clue!! Enjoyed the extra challenge of the speed nerdle although I ignored the clock completely and just went for the slightly tricky solution! :-D

Heardle got it 16 secs today, research needed. Had a diversion onto "The Chainsmokers" but nailed it soon after. No-one has put anything from the artists on the Pickled Egg jukebox, but popular with the youngsters...512,657,429 views since 5 Mar 2021 for the official video on youtube :-D

Again played the percentages to get wordle in 4, where the random guessing of many possibilities could use up attempts and even result in a fail. And what a perfect word for guess number 3, to create the open goal for attempt 4.

Note Whump down...it may come in useful and is a valid word on wordle!

Gives everyone a chance this morning!

PS...yes the official music video has been going for some years but refreshing that Cardi B still has some way to go to catch up...viva the 1980's!

1,175,118,000 Youtube views!
Apparently us Heardle players were subject to a "hilarious" April Fool on 1st April.

I dont even get what it was when I sought an explanation, and it certainly wasn't hilarious in the slightest.

Apparantly we were all "Rick Rolled"

That is why that particular song has such a phenomenal number of youtube views.

The hilarity,...contain yourselves....is being directed to the official "Never gonna give you up" Rick Astley official video.

...don't get it....

Totally unaware but didn't fall for it anyway!! I don't generally watch music videos at all, just listen, so no point in going to Youtube !! :evil:

Worldle Got it in two, quite pleased with that.

Wordle
took 6 today maybe wasting my first turn by including a long-shot Z didn't pay off!

Nerdle Nerdle got it in 4

Heardle got it in 16. It will not be too much help but the track is over 50 years old, so in the right era for us regular players :-D
