Clarification of rules and fair play (and I don't think anyone is doing this, but I saw someone do it with Wordle). I think its cheating to use the internet or apps to plug in letters you know and have it spit out all possible five letter words. I think the only thing you should be allowed to use is your brain. Does everyone agree?

But we don't have to do it in our own head, right? Like if it was a math problem you would still let us write it down on the board and do it by hand, you just don't want us to use a calculator, even if the calculator only offered you a list of several answers and you had to pick the one you want. The heart shapes for some reason totally interfere with my visualizations and I can't look at those so if I were near a piece of paper I would use it. Unfortunately I'm near a bag of chips and salsa. Well, it's good salsa.

Yeah- that's fine. its computer assistance I object to.

I'll do it if you want to guess one yourself... otherwise do you have a word?

Oh let me add another question here: can we only pick words that have five different letters or do we also have letters repeated in the word sometimes?

Wordle rules. Any five letter word (or however many letters the moderator establishes). I used ERROR when I was moderator.

Okay! GAME 13 is OPEN for Guessing!

Please disregard this; was based on the mistake in my response.

Mike I screwed something up.
This guess needs to be redone. Please start over with guest number 4 after I post a new one because I missed something like an idiot and now that I have drunk a half cup of coffee I see it.

Okay, sorry about that, I had a typo in my hearts and didn't notice it until you did the next one!
Ready for a new guess number four please.

Other people can do guest number five but let's let Mike do guess number four again okay? I feel bad that I screwed it up. This is what happens when you're clicking in the fog.

If someone gets in there before me, I'm fine. I'm thinking about it, but I'm also at work now, so guess em if you got em.

Certainly better than smoking them.

So just to clarify: this is where we are now and these three guesses and responses are accurate, so please proceed from here:

Oh my goodness that is such a good guess! I wanted to name a kid this but it was vetoed very early and very definitively. Isn't it a great name though? It's one of my favorite words.

I'm sure you've got it. This one was so hard for me that I knew I had a mental block that was keeping me from something simple. It was the long I for Y. I kept seeing -LY in my head and could only hear "lee". Good work, sir! (I assume).

Congratulations to all, group effort! I would pick another word but I have to go to work now so I leave the gavel to the next person.

Yay, i feel bad swooping in after y'all did all the hard work but also feel good that I got it right and rule

I'm thrilled someone got it. Like I say, I knew I was stuck.

GAME 14 IS GO!

Five letter word.

Also- it's Game 13. Phoebe accidentally posted that her game was Game 13 (it was Game 14). But now I think all games should be Game 13.

When someone posts while I'm puzzling out my guess, I just delete my guess and put their guess. I tried to guess SEDAN, but it showed me you posted in the interim.

By a minute. That was close. I saw a couple options, but SEPIA seemed the most Phoebe of them. But now that I see SEDAN, that may have been the better option.

And yes I am very sedan kind of gal. But sepia is my kind of word.
