WORDLE 491 (10/23) ***SPOILER THREAD***

[intrepidity]

Well this was a dastardly one. I managed to use 4 tries before I even got 2 letters! And all were unique letters without dupes until try #5. By the end, there were only W, X, Z, J, and M left. And I still missed it, lol.

4. Kicking myself! I accidentally opened this before Wordling, thinking it was yesterdays.

I'd been awake for about a minute; just a reflex.

But I don't think I would have solved this one!

[intrepidity]

7. Aww

Although, if you just read the OP, it wouldn't have even spoiled anything, lol

[William Seger]

27. Good day for it, though

This wasn't a Wordle that improve averages.

[femmedem]

28. So true!

I thought I was dreaming when I saw it.

And I dordled and quordled and had a fine morning once I was more awake.

I had turned on the computer to check the time and my half-asleep fingers went right to the DU Lounge.

I got it in six.

[William Seger]

23. Yummy, yummy, yummy, I got love in my tummy

Worst. Lyrics. Ever.

[TeamProg]

26. Yeah, those are very cheesy, but the rest of the song is interesting!

""Love, you're such a sweet thing, good enough to eat thing
And that's just a-what I'm gonna do""


Worst? Careless lyrics?
I'm sure these lyrics were not greatly appreciated by Courtney Love.

"hey man, nice shot. What a good shot man
