Daily Contact

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I don’t remember how we got started, but neighbor Shawn, niece Chrissie, and I play Wordle and Connections on our phones. We text our results from across the street and across the country in Utah. I wouldn’t want to see hard statistics, but I feel like we are very well-matched. Once in a while we all make the same high score, and other times one will totally fail. It’s the comments that bring it all to life. We congratulate each other or tell something that is going on in our lives. Daily contact like that is irreplaceable.

One day Shawn did exceptionally well, finishing Wordle on the third line and getting the Connections perfectly. I did not do well, commenting that it took me twice as long as the others. Shawn wrote, “But you got it!! You can’t be the QUEEN every day.” She included a laughing face.

I replied, “Right. I don’t want to be Queen every day! Some days I’d like to be the favorite dog.”

Her reply was instantaneous. It was a photo of her pet Izzie with the caption of “the favorite dog”. Chrissie and I got a kick out of that, and the day continued with a burst of laughter.

  3. Ha ha – yes, dogs rule more than humans sometimes. I think my longest Wordle streak was 21 days and I hated to break it. When I get to the second-to-last line and see no hope I have to guess, like today. I stopped playing Connections, but Love Spelling Bee which I do right after Wordle.

      1. I do it everyday but I don’t pay for it. Once it sends me to another screen as I reached “x” number of words, I just exit. I always try to get to that second level and I’m happy for that. I still love Word Wipe … I am addicted to it. It is like Word Search in that you find words up/down/sideways … good brain exercise.

            1. Today I used all seven letters in my first word in Spelling Bee. The game immediately shut down, giving me a low score. Using lots of small words seems to be the way to get a higher score.

  13. I just love playing with the two of you — and Lise when she visits. Sometimes it offers the final nudge I need to get out of bed in the morning 🙂
