This is in hard mode btw. Wordle Bot only averages 4 and it cheats! (It uses words that it knows or thinks can’t be an answer.)

Recently results. It’s really hard to get below 3.5 attempts without blowing out the luck rating.

For Wordle I only got in the top 40% with an average of 3.55 guesses. I find that disappointing because I would have thought 3.55 was pretty good but obviously not. I wonder what the distribution is.

I was at a hotel recently that had a cutout in the glass shower pane so you could reach in and turn it on without being in the shower proper. It felt like the first real societal progress in decades.

On a visit to the fabulous V&A Storehouse in east London, saw this technological marvel from 1980 - France’s Minitel, a precursor to the internet and way ahead of its time.

Love this advice from the NYT about staying safe if your hotel catches fire: “When you check in, ask the front desk if the fire alarms are functioning”.
Totally normal question.
