I don’t know why I didn't recognize that no one but me would have had the first letter conundrum because all of you routinely use a word that starts with S! My duh!

I plead fatigue! I had a very busy, very taxing, and physically demanding day Friday and was completely exhausted by midnight.

In any case, you guys ran into a first 3 letter conundrum instead.

Wordle is so much fun comparing games because we all play so individually different even as we often use similar words in the process.

It's not a competition to me, it's a window into each other's thought processes that I find immensely interesting!

Psychology was my undergrad degree major and I just love people and understanding how and why they navigate thought processes to accomplish the same goals as others... like playing Wordle. It's a simple way to engage without making anyone feel uncomfortable or like they are being "shrunk".

IOW, it is innocuous, without guile, and quite interesting to me seeing how other people think without putting anyone on the spot.
