Up late so might as well try the new puzzle, relatively straightforward compared to many of the recent ones. Wordle 1,935 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I’ll try to share every day now I know I’m being tracked by @worldwardle.com in a worldwide competition. So are you, but you don’t realise it yet.

Excellent, one of my faves is a live album.

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 9h
Give it a few months and you can repurpose it into a Top 5 list challenge 😉

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 9h
But but but … there’s 9 not 5

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 9h
Sounds ideal. I’ll start thinking about mine, a few are obvious, but to get the right 12 will be a challenge for me. Are live albums eligible?

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 9h
I haven’t no. What channel/service?

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 9h
Oh good. Richard made it look easy, but I’m sure it’s not.

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 11h
Oh I forgot to record it, was going to check it out, might have to find on catch up

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 11h
Yeah it was great, I thought this series was especially good.
120
Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 12h
Does look that way.

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 12h
Aha, thanks, I can access that

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 12h
What channel / streaming service is that on? I loved that show.

Don’t forget to vote for Disintegration (or whichever is your fave), it’s the final 4.

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 13h
A prediction of 3 out of 4 is decent, plus I did originally include Doolittle. My votes are: B - my 2nd fave album ever C - an indie classic, part of my evolution A - a post punk classic, prefer UP myself D - ok, but too much Morrissey

@icrawford17.bsky.social hi Iain, how close are we to the Bauhaus & Love and Rockets polls?
010
Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 13h
😂 that does seem quite a few, but go with what your heart says, you won’t know if you never try
100
Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 14h
And I have chosen one of your picks. Will compare notes on Sunday.
010
Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 14h
Yeah I can get that. Maybe there’s something shorter but still requiring a backpack you could try to see if you like?
100
Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 16h
Haha, I’ve not seen this story before 🤣
010
Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 16h
Amazing how that player always gets 2/6 with the occasional 1/6 🤔 I’d suggest you may want to exclude outlying data points, as it all relys on trust to copy & paste without adjusting.
100
Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 16h
Yeah, it’s always a revelation how much new music is out there
010
Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 17h
The southern tour 😔
000
Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 17h
😬 rather you than me
100
Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 17h
I’m interested in what you’re picking too, good luck, and don’t be despondent if you don’t pick up many votes, there’s often a lot of good songs shared and can be quite random which do better than others
110
Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 17h
Always welcome

I probably struggled more than I should have today, and yes a spreadsheet was involved for my 4th, 5th & 6th guesses 😆 Wordle 1,934 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟨⬜🟨🟨 🟨🟩🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Happy birthday to little miss McAlpine. And hope you’ve had a good day too 🎂 🎈

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Oh did I miss your birthday Richard? Hope you had a good day. And surely you’d want a whole one of the big cakes from Friday?!

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Thanks, I’ll definitely be listening tomorrow for inspiration for my first music league pick

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
We won 4-0 in the end, with the vital 4th goal scored in the last minute by yours truly 🥳 5 weeks before the next round. And yes the game was played at a posh school, Cheadle Hulme.
The hockey pitch in front of the impressive Cheadle Hulme school, with a couple of Timperley players warming up Some hockey action whilst I was briefly on the subs bench.
Timperley in blue against Alderley Edge in black.
All players over the age of 55, and several over 60.

Off out for my 3rd hockey game of the weekend, this time in Round 1 of the Over 55’s Cup. Timperley v Alderley Edge, it’s not a posh boy’s sport, honest 😜

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Yes, 1st-5th in L4 last season have all been promoted, due to drop outs. 6th (me) stay down, and pickup admin duties 😉 You should have an email from Steve, whenever you can pick up.

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Hi Bruce. You’re in L3 again, and Tracey @ineeddirection.bsky.social is your admin amd will be setting up and sending the invites, but she’s on holiday this weekend so may not have done it yet. First songs by Tuesday evening, so just get one ready, I’m sure the invite will come before then.

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Yeah me too. Along with Mouse Trap.

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Such a great song

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Oh yes I can imagine how desperate that would have been. I was trying all sorts of different letters in my 5th attempt, but nothing made sense. Took a long time.

Been out all day playing 2 hockey games, and only just getting round to my daily puzzles. Bloody hell, Wordle was a bastard, amazed I got it at all, even in 5, but did have 2 correct from the start. Wordle 1,932 5/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Oh yes, old school Mish, and it has a really silly video with them mucking around

Oh that’s really good news Bill, pleased for you and the family ❤️

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I reckon that points even stronger on Richard being banished. They could have left the cliffhanger to the murder, although I guess with only 2 up it wouldn’t have been much of a cliffhanger.

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
She was spot on.
000
Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Yeah I agree. And now Hannah’s talking herself to being murdered, although always far more dangerous than Jerry, and almost all of them for that matter.

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Stuff of nightmares that task 😬
