Wordling in 2023 (split from "The More or Less of Whatnot Thread 2023")

[Edgy MD]

I did not deserve to survive today, playing a bullshit word like GONNA.

I figured, as I sometimes do, that yeah, it's a bullshit word, but if it's not wordy enough to qualify for their dictionary, the guess will be rejected and I'm no worse for my stupidity.

But in leaning into that logic, I failed to realize that I had already eliminated G anyhow. And yet, there indeed GONNA was in their dictionary.

Wordle answers that have been surnames of Mets players. (Mostly pitchers, oddly enough)

BLACK
COLON
STOCK
STONE
SWEET
VIOLA

We were recently able to add GREEN to this list.

I am drawing no memories of Robert Stock (a 2021 pitcher, UMDB informs me).

I tried to recount in the shower today the 1962 opening day lineup, and for the life of me, I couldn't come up with the name of the second baseman (Charlie Neal). I am being poured out like a libation.

this is the thinking that does me in oft.

that and my brain likes to find weird words instead of more common ones.

today i went STARE CLANK GUANO PIANO

CLANK apparently was a good play - it was wordlebot's pick. and then it tells me that the word is almost certainly PIANO. boo. 14 other words would've worked there too, but unlike GUANO, i've never heard of most of them. JNANA?! ABAND?! XOANA?! what the fuck even are these things?

STARE
CHAIN
PIANO
