I had a feeling of inescapable doom...

I had four letters in the correct spots after my second entry, then giggled insanely as I ran out of chances.

My second flop, but the most fun I've had with it.

This one lets you play once a day. (If you get addicted, google "Wordle," and you can find other sites with more options.)

I appreciate the advice! I have to admit, I like to play games that I am good at and am sure to win. I suppose I am doubting myself with this one which is why I have been hesitant, but like most other games, practice is always helpful.
