I care about people more than money, and try to understand why others reverse this. I'm interested in how life works in so many different ways.

Wordle 1,926 4/6 ⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I'm learning to mix my strategies, take some calculated risks. That's how I moved from line 3 to 4. But my vowel-laden starter has rarely let me down, so I will continue with that! Sunday morning here in 'Straya is quiet and peaceful. Happy Sunday, all!

Wordle 1,913 3/6 🟩⬛⬛⬛🟩 🟩⬛🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 My starter word was very helpful today, as the middle letter misses meant line 2 could only be a couple of things. Monday morning starts well. I hope yours does too!

Wordle 1,907 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟨 ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟨🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That was a real surprise! The recurring yellow was a vowel, the other on line 3 ended the green line. It really was a stab in the dark. Sending my good fortune to you as you conquer your puzzles. Happy Tuesday!
