Yes, I play it, though not as often as Wordle.

Well, another day, another 4. In a world where so much is inconsistent (or just bizarre), at least my Wordle score is stable. Finding joy where I can, even in the small things. 😉 And how did you do? Wordle #1,514 4/6

I hate when that happens. Happened to me several weeks ago, and I was not amused. I'd imagine you're not amused either. But at least you can start a new streak tonight.

Absolutely love him. Read him faithfully. Someone who truly cares about good journalism.

Well, lately I'm stuck getting 4's each night; but that's not a terrible rut to be in. At least I'm solving the Wordle, and that's a good thing. And how did you do? Wordle #1,513 4/6

Chris Quinn, editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, had a great quote in today's column: "In the end, civil discourse is the foundation of community. Without it, we don’t just lose conversation — we lose connection." In other words, courtesy matters, even when we disagree! Words to live by.

Two nights in a row when logic helped me to decide on the right word, and two nights in a row when I solved the Wordle in 4. And how did you do? Wordle #1,512 4/6

A lot of people used to use it, but then, there was an article in the Times about how it didn't really get folks good scores, and I think people moved on to different words.

Another word I've seen in print, but can't say I've ever used. But this time, logic really helped, and I managed to solve the Wordle in 4. And how did you do? Wordle #1,511 4/6

Logic and process of elimination were a good combination for me tonight, and I solved the Wordle in 4. And how did you do? Wordle #1,510 4/6

This really should have been a 4, and it almost was; but I made a foolish mistake, and I ended up with a 5. Okay, fine, a win is a win, but I would have preferred the 4. And how did you do? Wordle #1,509 5/6

Of course. We all think we should have done better, and sometimes that's true. But hey, a win is a win!

Happens to us all (happened to me last week, in fact). But you'll get back on the winning side tomorrow!

My lucky night, it seems. Used some logic and then went with a good guess. A winning combination: I solved the Wordle in 3. And how did you do? Wordle #1,508 3/6

Try it and let me know if it works for you! 😉

I offer them ice cream and cookies. Who doesn't like ice cream and cookies? 😉

Wow, I made a really lucky guess, inspired by a bit of logic, and to my great delight, it all worked out, and I solved the Wordle in 2. Haven't done that in a while! And how did you do? Wordle #1,507 2/6

This has happened a lot over the past few days. I think the Wordle Gods & Goddesses are angry with us... 😉

Yeah, I have questions about that too.

Lots of folks lost their streaks yesterday, and I hope they all started new ones tonight. That's what I did: I'm back on the board again, starting my new streak with a 4. And how did you do? Wordle #1,506 4/6

I just see such a wonderful opportunity to discuss Tanakh, and I'd love it if we could get some of the newbies to join us. I'm sure you'd like that too. And by the way, I'm a long-time fan of yours. Thanks for doing what you do! #ParshaChat

I hope I don't seem like I'm telling you what to do. You're a rabbi. I'm a former deejay (and a friendly media historian). But people have short attention spans, plus new folks are joining Bluesky all the time. Never hurts to let them know what we're about. #ParshaChat

An interesting verse for our modern era, when money and power seem to determine who receives justice. Fascinating to note this was also a concern in Bible times, & Moses wanted everyone to know the system of justice that was being established would be fair to all, rich and poor alike. #ParshaChat

Not sure. But as a former broadcaster, I was always taught the value of promotion. It's useful to introduce yourself (or re-introduce yourself) & let folks know what you're doing & why. Otherwise, those who are new to the site have no idea what #ParshaChat is or why they should participate.

I'm here, lurking. (By the way, I wonder how many of the newbies to Bluesky know what Parsha Chat is.) #ParshaChat

He has packed the Justice Dept and the FBI and even the courts with folks who see their first loyalty to HIM rather than to the constitution. That's what worries me...

That's exactly what I blogged about! And why fact-checkers are so important!

Well, that streak didn't last very long. The dreaded Wordle Trap got me. Thought I had it solved, but alas, each guess turned out to be wrong and I ran out of turns. So, tomorrow is another day. And how did you do? Wordle 1,505 X/6
