A few days ago I got lucky with a “B” word – BRAIN as an opening for what ended up being called PLUMB – and that’s what I was thinking about today when I guessed BRIDE. I didn’t expect it to work so well a second time, but I guess B’s are in the air. For my second guess, I selected all new letters. COUNT reduced my 12 remaining solutions to just two, but I (thankfully) didn’t even think about BOWER. BOXER was the only word that came to mind and that was the Wordle!

Competitive Wordle Score

I get 1 point for guessing in 3 and 0 for equating the bot. 1 x 3 for 3XP Friday the 13th = 3 points! Huzzah!
