      p.s. Hope the upcomin slew of runts ain’t overly feisty. After a few thou runts, have started to run out of “sane world” theme ideas. At least ones that fit in runty puzgrids.
      Did make a few “regular-sized” puzs lately; submitted some of em to Shortzmeisterville. (Makin runtz is more fun, tho.)

    Thanks. I apparently have a computer dying of some kind of virus. It will just hang up for a long time on each keystroke. I had pretty much given up on ever finishing this one, and in the time I was waiting I looked up the answers to 18 A and 20 D, which I would never have known, so my score may be higher than it should be.

  171. @M&A - I saw on the Rex blog that you got today's wordle in 2 tries. I thought you might like to know I also got it in 2, thanks to your comment, and knowing your opening guess is full of vowels (you did reveal it once before). I was lucky and got the consonants green on my standard opening guess. It must be runts spreading the good karma.

    @M&A - That is an amazing Wordle feat!

    I scored a 5 the past 2 tries. I had 4 greens on my second try today and got stuck with wrong guesses on the last letter. I don't normally go for the solve on turn 2, I have 2 starter words that cover most of the common letters.

    @Bob - I updated my Jaws of Themedness solve comment to help explain the theme. I didn't catch on until a while after I was done.
