I like how you give time stamps so that I can fast forward to the video for the games that I actually play.

Really love that dedective like solve of Word500. I had a similar solve with a common letter word being red in STRIP.

Nice Dordle, tough words. Lucky four for me in just under a minute: AROSE, THING, WORSE, VOICE. Good Betweenle. MOUSE was an excellent guess. The distance of 0.03% means either 3 or 4 words. If you go from 4 to 3, the meter won't move. Lucky four for me: LUMPY, NADIR, MOUSE, MOUND. After starting near the midpoint, I wanted to guess NACHO but I didn't think it's on the answer list (I checked afterwards: it isn't). My third guess was incredibly lucky. Then I counted words carefully and guessed correctly between MOUND/MOUNT. Fine Polygonle. Super slow for me but I didn't give up: GLANCING, DIRECTED. WOW! A brilliant quick Mini! I wasted about 21 seconds on SALES, SITES, SPIES. Superb Symble! Pedestrian five for me: SONIC, DELTA, HEMPY+, VERGE, REVUE I doubted if HEMPY were on the A-list. It isn't.

Nice work on Blind Fusele. I solved it but got in the -USTY trap.

I don't torture myself with the hard mode of Word 500, so I play the easier (green) mode. No repeat letters and no J, Q, X Z Word500, Standard, 22-NOV-2024 No hints used, score = 5/8 TIGER (0, 2, 3) SPORE (1, 0, 4) STINK (1, 2, 2,) SATIN (0, 2, 3). This guess helped a lot, since I knew there had to a K. KINFE (5, 0, 0)

His hard mode Word500 solve was satisfying.

@@jpsinclaire The whole game reminds me of Mastermind with the pegs. Of course the code involves only 6 colors of pegs, not 26 letters of the alphabet. But I do remember the clues take on the form of pegs to indicate the three possibilities: black: color in the right spot (green) white: a peg of the right color but in the wrong spot (yellow) blank: Peg isn't in the code at all. (red) And the clues of course don't tell you what pegs are involved, you have to figure that out.
