The New York Times has an algorithm, they call it WordleBot, that can tell you how well you're playing Wordle. WordleBot almost always tells me that my guesses are skillful but unlucky. And today, it told me I was even worse than that:

For the record, the word was "bevel."

Wordle #1006 (March 21, 2024)
For the record, "shale" would have been my next guess, and it would have been wrong, too. Turns out there are seven common English words matching the pattern of "sha?e". Seven.
My first reaction was to yell "Fuck you, Wordle." But after having... many hours to cool down, I have to admit that "shade" is a perfectly cromulent word. I'm sure it's very popular.
Would I have preferred a word that was actually guessable in the allotted 6 chances? Sure. If you wanted me to lose, Wordle, you could have just told me instead of making me play your dumb guessing game!
But hey, I'm over it now.
Good game, Wordle. You got me. Ha, ha. What a good time we're all having.
Sigh.
