😆 When you have only one missing letter, and there are many letters which would solve the puzzle, pick a word which has as many of those letters as possible. Haha, I’m too old to try and remember past words played 😉

Hard mode restricts one to correctly guessed letters.

Hope this helps.

BREAKING: Trump doesn't remember/believe/understand HE was president on January 6, 2021

This is how unstable, how mentally unbalanced, how much of a dangerous mixture of dishonesty and insanity Trump is:

"Biden's FBI?" By Jan. 6 2021, TRUMP had run the FBI for 1,448 days #25A

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

He is playing a word with potential first-letter. There are two modes for Wordle. One which allows any letter and one which restricts you to letters already found.

In a Chicago suburb, ICE GOONS brutally attacked a 15-year-old girl. They forcibly removed her from her car, slammed her to the ground, and then placed their knee on her neck.

I don’t think Biden was president on J6.

Why, thank you 😁 It’s been an education. I do like living near Chicago. It’s a cool city.

Carolyn Castor @carolyncastor.bsky.social · 16h

I agree. It was easy to turn the Dixiecrats into Republicans. Now they are MAGA, and they vote against a strong middle class while clinging to their Bible and racism.

Carolyn Castor @carolyncastor.bsky.social · 17h

Definitely! I’ve spent most of my adulthood on the West Coast. Now I’m in Indiana. It’s a poor state, and very racist. Once you get out in the countryside, it’s corn, pigs, and Jesus with Trump and Confederate flags.

Also, depends on the Southern state and how Deep South you go.

I’m 67, and it’s changed a lot since I was a young girl. But, there was definitely lots of cotton and shacks before 1980.
