It unfolded well early on and in the mid-game I had a lucky correct guess sort of open up the rest.

Shoulda got that in 1, but the year had me thinking it probably wasn’t that despite pretty obviously sounding like it, so I assumed they were doing something timely and guessed happy birthday by Stevie wonder instead.

Thanks! Yeah I can’t imagine getting a 2 then having enough letters to knock the rest out round after round even if they seem to build in some commonalities across puzzles.

I think I did that once or twice out of many hundreds of tries, I also use two starter words but it’s a maybe once a year “oh hey, maybe I can get silly low score” sorta deal.

I had to check out dordle for reference and despite me lucking out today, it feels like a much shorter runway than octowordle and I suspect there’s generally less overlap in letter hits. So nice job!
