I'm looking to extend two streaks today: my win streak to 100 and I want my fourth day in a row where I don't get a positive result on my opening guess. I want to give an honest, legit guess to achieve this. Otherwise, I'd guess xenon or zaddy or something stupid and be done with it. So I'm thinking about what to do when BRINK pops into my mind. That feels appropriate, I'm on the brink of something here, I hit enter and get a green B and a yellow R. NO! It's over. I'm crestfallen. Now I have to refocus so I can work on solving this.
I start going through B words that will fit. BRISK immediately comes to mind, but won't work for very obvious reasons. I try to think of other words, but BRIAR, BRAND, BRANK (BRANK? BRAKE was what I was thinking) and other words that won't work keep coming to mind. I decide to get away from the letter A and BORED appears to me pretty quickly. I hit enter and get a green tile for the R. BARNS pops out to me as a possible guess, but there aren't plurals like that in Wordle, so I again abandon the letter A and focus on the other remaining vowel: U. At this point, I see two options: BURPY and BURLY. I really want to go with BURPY, but that doesn't seem like a word that will appear in the esteemed New York Times, so I delete the P and go with BURLY for a win in three.
This gets me to 100 consecutive wins, which I guess have all been documented on here. I think I had missed a day early on during the blog project. Wow.
UPDATE: Yes, I forgot to play one day early on, but there was also the BORAX loss back in April, which I felt was a ridiculous answer/word. Ah, yes, my anger over that is all coming back to me now. Going on a run from April 13 to now is pretty good. Let's see how far I can take this.
