I would never buy a Tesla as long as Musk is at the helm.

Very satisfying. My first guess wasn’t one of the words, but I managed a twofer so still got the 5. Haven’t managed a 4 yet, but I’m sure it’s achievable given a headwind :)

Of course they haven’t. They’re all totally brainwashed.

Outstanding squareword!

Also, I got made redundant recently, and I think it’s put me in a different headspace.

I’m still doing them, but thought I should try to balance with posting on other topics :) - otherwise my timeline was nothing but square word results!

I can understand that. A few years ago, we’d been talking about buying a Tesla. With what we’ve learned about him post Twitter-acquisition, I wouldn’t touch one with a barge pole. My sister owns a Tesla, and is a shareholder, and is looking to divest from both for the same reason.

Aha! No, I never had a 3-fer. I keep hoping I’ll solve it in 4 one day - I guess you’d have to get lucky both with your starting word and the position of repeated letters.

This is I think about the fifth time for me - twice because my starting word was one of the five, and the rest because I was lucky enough to get a 2-fer on one of the subsequent guesses. This is my favourite word puzzle.

I ended up baking it with slices of butternut squash and garlic. It was very tasty :)
How about Swiss chard? I like almost all vegetables, but to me, Swiss Chard has a weird aftertaste of stale water. (I get a vegetable box, so sometimes end up with non-favourites).

I love it. Just one thing: could you make full screen the default? The narrow screen is an unnecessary visual impediment.

Im still hoping for a 4. I had two where, theoretically, if I’d got the first word, I could have done it in 4 (but since I didn’t, I did it in 5). Just realised, I’ve definitely done it in 5 at least 4 x. (2x getting the first word 2x not)

Not me either. I think I’ve done it 3 times, but it may have only been 2. I’ve done squareword in 5 about 3 or 4 times though.

Some countries in Europe are still pretty religious, particularly in Eastern Europe - but it’s not big business like it is in the US. An interesting correlation I’ve noticed: the poorer a country is, the more likely it is that its people will be religious.

Yes, yesterday I got 8 (annoying, it would have been 7, but I mistyped the final word!). I think I get it in 6 more than half the time though. I think my longest streak was about 6 or 7 6’s in a row.

What I don’t understand about this is: although this seems entirely plausible to me, if our allies know this, our own intelligence agencies (and by implication our three branches of govt) must also know this. So how can they possibly hand the keys to the WH to (effectively) our enemies?

Much as I detest Trump, that sounds dangerous. Not to be a killjoy, but suffering a potentially serious road traffic accident seems an excessive penalty for being a bellend conned by a conman (not to mention the non-bellends that might get involved).

I’ve got 5 about 4 or 5 times I think. My average is 7 (6.98 currently :) ). It would be cool to get 4 one day, the right combo of duplicate letters and lucky first guess permitting :)

Oh, I assumed >5 or 6 is less interesting, so I don’t post them.
