nice grid! - The 9/10 combo is a first (but fun!)

6:12 am

HarryHood

so wordle doesn't use plurals. I'm on my last guess and can't figure out letters 4 and 5

6:13 am

HarryHood

does plurals include anything ending in s? even in verb form?

6:24 am

Robespierre

Wordle recognizes plenty of words that end in "s", that aren't plural.

6:24 am

HarryHood

oh well. lost it.

6:25 am

Robespierre

Ugh! Well, there's always tomorrow!

6:25 am

back at work after vacation yesterday

7:36 am

aslindy

was it a good day?

7:36 am

Kiani

trying to sort everything out for the upcoming transfer and then vacation to come visit you in a few weeks!

7:37 am

Kiani

it was good - altho Urchin's hair took SO LONG. I was sitting on a stool for about 6hrs, so my back hurt so bad by the time we got home

7:37 am

Kiani

then we were trying to play Plate Up and Steam just wouldn't cooperate

7:37 am

aslindy

it sure turned out lovely, though!

7:41 am

Kiani

holy wow so many emails to catch up on for only one day out!

7:43 am

Kiani
