I rarely use FB these days, but when I do, it seems to just be people Wordleing.
Today, 2 different people got today's in 3, despite having only the middle letter in the second frame. I call shenanigans.
Anyway, I got lucky by making a dumb guess in 2 that actually paid off well, giving me the most difficult part

I tried Wordle. In the immortal words of Cartman (probably), Screw you guys, I am going back to Wordscapes.

JFC, that was devious. Simple, yet not a typical word I'd normally think of for these kinds of things, since so few words are spelled that way.

I'm with you, Blue. I stopped watching baseball after the 1994 strike. I have never been tempted to go back, even during the McGuire/Sosa race -- which was just before the steroids thing really blew up.
