I didn’t think they’d use such a toxically masculine word.

I am back to the beginning of the alphabet. I guessed manly because it is a forum word. It was surprising to be correct.

I am sure they used it with an ironic and wistful slant.

Brett McKay does manly with verve.

I was just trying to move the A to a different position and look for some commonly used consonants like M, N, and L.  

Obviously, just dumb luck.  I was surprised as hell to see all the greens pop up.

I guess lucking out and getting a two is okay, but I think Wordle is much more interesting when you have to go through a series of analytical choices (letters and words) to arrive at the solution, even if it means you get the answer in four, five or six. 

IOW, I'd rather figure out my way to a five than to just stumble on a two.

Not me. I’ll take a two anytime I can get it without cheating.

Three is aboot optimum for me.  Makes you feel like you beat the system of the standard 4 but had to work a little to get there.  6s make me very nervous!

I guess I am not very manly.

IMO, someone with an unfortunate starting word. who works their ass off to get the solution in five, deserves the awesome emoji much more than the person who gets the answer in two by mostly dumb luck.

But pure luck is not much better than cheating.  Either way, you are rewarded for achieving nothing.
