iirc I saw $2.499 / litre on gas station signs yesterday - that's about Aus$2.52 (our dollars v near par). That'd be about $1.76 USD, or $6.66 USD / US gallon. Interesting figure! Not sure about diesel but Can. govt has suspended the surcharge on regular gas, which is $1.75-ish/L lately.

After AROSE I decided 2Across might be ARENA, so I looked for a word like xxENA. HYENA was obvious but I wanted more-useful letters. I tried SIENA but SqW rejected it! I've seen CRORE a few times - used only in India + Pakistan afaict? And WONGA on Tuesday...?! A Scrabble dictionary is a must.

I have *never* seen a Thirdle use any letter more than once. Each one uses 13 distinct letters. As Byron's ALT notes: this is NOT what the Help says! Words recur only many months later, if at all. I played 150-ish games before seeing a repeat. These observations give an edge in solving 😁

lars-o-matic @lars-o-matic.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Actually, I played only one of the 5 across words! Three of the other four guesses filled in letters of 2 or more words at a time; my first guess got only 2 letters in the right places. Much luck and scheming 😅 Since we're well past Friday in every timezone, here's my game showing the guesses:
Squareword 1713 completed puzzle:
OCTET
ARENA

The five guesses that completed the puzzle were:

Ah, I thought your phrasing was odd 🤣 I take (need) an afternoon nap 2-3 days a week lately. It's nice to be able to catch up a bit on sleep if there was a late night or bad sleep beforehand. I used never to be able to sleep in the day except for some reason on Sunday afternoons... 🤷🏼

Someone in WQuers (not I) had one a month ago I think… I welcomed its return! I did SqW first tonight and when I sat down to Wordle I thought "hmmm, if I get a BigBirdle, I'm on my way to the first-ever single-digit Trivium score!" My first W guess ended that little dream & kept my ego in check! 🙃
