Weekly Squardle and other Daily Wordle-like games! - May 25, 2024

Oh no, tough Dordle. Oops, I forgot to do it today. There doesn't seem to be any present tense third person singular verbs in Dordle but there are some regular plurals: things that usually come in pairs (TONGS would work), or plurals that have a distinct dictionary definition (today's word is apparently UK rhyming slang for a chemical developed by Bayer). Good Betweenle. 10 guesses for me. Very nice Weekly Squardle. I got 7. Bonus words: REDID, KIDDY. Excellent hexpert Polygonle. I got this too: DESERTED-DEFEATED. "So why is RECENTER a word?" --I used to think RECENTER made sense a verb ("to place something in the center again") but when I tried to play a common inflected form (probably "recenters") in Scrabble, it was rejected. It turned out, RECENTER is only a comparative of an adjective: "more recent". "Why is RETEMPER a word?" --I guess because you can temper a material again by giving it a new heat treatment to restore its strength. Very good Mini. 4 for me: BLEED-GREED-SPEED-STEED. Good Symble. I fell into the same mini trap at the end: SONIC-STARE-COULD-COUGH-COUCH.

When you guessed curvy on fibble, Derby was an option!

I bounced back from a bad Fibble yesterday and got it in 2 today: burly, curly.

Dordle got me too. It was pretty much impossible since I play it in hard mode.

Could not get JACKS in Dordle too. Jacks is plural but it is referring to the game. Betweenle in 10. Symble in 5.
