I thought by now if I kept reading, I'd be able to figure out what game "WH" stands for, but no 
Can someone shed light please? TIA

Hi there, @minousbijoux
It stands for Word Hurdle - like Wordle, but with 6 letter words. Here's the link:

Yay! Thx @mrs-b! Definitely feeling like I need things to numb my mind - just can't understand what has/is happening these days. At least when I do word puzzles, I get the satisfaction of an answer...

this west coaster and (very, very casual) bird watcher would beg to differ.

I have no problem with the word/ bird. It just seems non-wordle-ish. I don’t recall another animal/bird solution.

They’ve surprised me in the past with words that seemed very technical or “insider.” I recall when the word was “moire,” which to me is a specific way of finishing fabric, and a French word to boot. I kinda didn’t think my brother would get it. But he got it with no problem - it turns out the term is also used in graphic arts, one of his areas of expertise.
To your point, I think there were some eyebrows raised here when “gecko” turned up as a daily word. I was surprised because I think the original creator is British, and I think of geckos as inhabiting the tropics. But I figure the creators are, like me, “Death in Paradise” fans!

Oh now I recall gecko! And that was a fun show-I watched a couple of seasons.

Octordle has a new option that I’ve been enjoying lately - octordle sequence. Eight words, but you have to find them in sequence. Fifteen tries. A fun new - uhm - diversion.
octordle.com
Octordle
Put your skills to the test and solve eight word games at once! You have 13 guesses to solve all eight words. A new Octordle available each day to solve.

Still love Wordle! And I'm really into Quordle these days. I tried Octowordle but didn't realize you do them in sequence
Regular octordle doesn’t have to be worked in sequence, and gives you 13 tries to figure out the 8 words.
In octordle sequence you have to only work one word at a time, starting with first grid. You only get to see how the letters used in the first grid play out in the second grid after you’ve figured out the first word, and so forth. You get 15 tries to figure out all 8 words.

It feels so silly, yet...my heart soars when I get the correct word, even if it's in four tries! And when I get a word in two or three tries, I leap up and do a happy dance, and call my DH in to see the glory that is my Wordle game o' the day. LOL!

No, I'm just holding my breath, figuring it will happen sooner or later.

Do you also play "Spelling Bee" that pops up as a link at the bottom of the statistics page? I started playing a while ago, and it's quite fun! I just play the free version.

My first…
Great job!
I only had one to date, it was my starter word, so now I have a different starter word.

I have not gotten it in 1 yet. I used to switch starters every day but now I use LEARN.
Last February, one day I used FLORA as a tribute to my good friend’s mom. Her name is Flora and she is 95 and at the time was not doing well. Wouldn’t you know that FLORA was the Wordle on the following day!?!?

I like to start with a word “inspired” by something I've seen or done - or something. Yesterday we saw bison in Wichita Mountains State park so I started with “bison,” which turned out to be a pretty good starting word. Today nothing came to mind so I put together a word using some of my favorite starting letters - and it turned out to be a very lucky guess!

Same for me as far as getting it once on my starter word. I haven't figured out a new starter yet. I keep switching around and end up getting mostly 3s. sometimes 2, sometimes 4... once in a while I bomb out. But not often.....

I try to do Connections but find it kind of frustrating. Sometimes easy and other times I can't get any of them. I like Letter Boxed better. Let me know what you think of Connections.
