    Struggled to a 5. Couldnt see anything after guess 3, so changed tactics on guess 4 to try and flush out some more letters. Waste of a guess but it did the trick

    Hughies 1 & 3, those and two juicies, which made it obvious where they belonged, then a tap-in for another juicy one :emoticon-0110-tongu

    But I don't think Wordle takes into account how well you did yesterday, or the day before; so it is debatable. Come on, someone debate <laugh>

    You’re right it doesn’t but neither does tossing a coin. Isn’t this about the odds of running up a sequence. For example if 100 people tossed a coin, you would expect 50 of them to get heads. If those 50 people tossed them again you’d expect 25 of them to get heads. So the chance of anyone of them getting two heads in a sequence is statistically 50% x 50% ie 25% and so on. 3 heads in sequence would be 50% x 50% x 50%

    Have we got any Maths teachers who can comment on this?

    Chart for the week.

    Looks like it's been a bit of a tough one again, a right mixed bag of results. A near record low, and a record equalling high....
    No fails, but only x5 scores under 25, and x2 in the 30's club.
    Saturdays word alone brought up x5 double bogeys.

    Star of the week goes to @cumbrianmackem with an outstanding score of 17, a score only ever bettered by his good Lady, Cumbriette....superb stuff.
    Wishing you both well......<hug>

    Runner up spot goes to @Gordon Armstrong with an excellent score of 21.
    <applause><applause><applause>
    (Bonus <applause> for today's rather excellent looking birdie....looks cold).

    Honourable mentions to @clockstander and @Row 3 who both scored 23, and @Ron with 24.

    Hopefully see @flandersmackem back this week after golfing trip, hope you had a great time.

    The 40's club....it couldn't happen, could it?

    Thanks for this Snaggey. I know you get thanked a lot for doing it, but it keeps me competitive (or trying to be competitive).

    Thanks mate, appreciated.
    I enjoy doing it tbh. I try and keep it lighthearted, though it's good to see everyone's scores over the course of a week.
    You had a good one....

    But is it? I've heard actuaries debating this (laws of probability etc) but it was lost on me <laugh>

    Bit of a shot in the dark. Luckily, an easy word to think of, given the letters used. Could be a few low scores today I reckon

    Start as I mean to go on (again) with a lack lustre 5. Some poor choices. Thought I had it in 4 but ended with 2 greens and 2 yellows.

    A par four for Monday to start the new week. Just couldn’t see it on earlier rounds.
    - one green,
    - one green and two yellows,
    - two greens and a yellow.

    A straightforward par after getting three juicies and a Hughie on my birdie put.

    I think the law of probability says it’s 25% chance of getting 2 heads in a row. The difference between tossing a coin and Wordle is that tossing a coin is pure chance whereas Wordle does involve some skill and intelligence
