Well then my results pale in comparison. Statistically they should at some point though.

I'm having a hard time lately taking anything seriously. My chess.com ELO rating seems to be "working in a goldmine going down down down WOOP!" :P

Still, I'm mildly annoyed by my lack of effort though. I guess real life impinges too much. I'll settle for being glad that at least I have one then.

I'll refrain from being too mopey about it. :P

Which is not the worst point of view.

As long as you don't blunder an entire world championship by one 34. ... f5 move.

Wordle 684 3/6

well played, maybe tomorrow you can reveal your first & second words?

I used the word "rebut" somewhere on PF and thought I could try it as a first guess. Honestly, I wouldn't have forgiven myself if it had been "rebut" and I hadn't tried. Then I used "punch". Mainly to test the "h" which occurs in so many words in English (th, gh, wh, sh, ch), and to check a different position for "u". I thought about "un***" first, but couldn't find a nice word without "r,t,e" so I ended up with "punch" as my second guess. Now I had the correct position of the "u" and a "p" at position 3, 4, or 5. Well, "guppy" was perfect. It cleared "g", cleared the "y" at the end in case of an adverb or adjective, and simultaneously check 2 out of 3 possible positions for "p". And they used biology on several occasions before. I expected that after "guppy" I would be in a comfortable position for my 4th guess. It turned out I actually was.

Remind me to undelete my answer. I typed and deleted it before I forget how I solved #684. I even forget the word from the previous day, or at least confuse the correct order of the three last ones or so.

Me too. I solve these on scraps of paper, backs of envelopes, etc. They are forgotten faster than solved.

Honestly, I wouldn't have forgiven myself if it had been "rebut" and I hadn't tried.

I know this feeling.

Let's do another survey.

Mine is (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) = (10,68,124,81,30,10).

2 greens is a good start
4 greens is even better

1​	0​
2​	6​
3​	80​
4​	115​
5​	53​
6​	10​
7​	4​

(The above table formatting happened automatically when I copied and pasted from my Excel spreadsheet.)
$\mu$ = 3.97
$\sigma$ = 0.93
