After 58 consecutive days of successful New York Times Wordle solving, today I failed.
The answer was: FIBER. No wonder I didn't get it.

I luckily got it on the last line.
They know it's played worldwide, the least they could do is avoid America-centric weird spellings.
A friend of mine puts SHITE as the first guess every day.

What do you expect when it's American?
Walking through town today I saw a bloke who looked a bit like John Humphrys, the newsreader.
Not long afterwards I saw someone who looked like Christopher Lee, the actor! (But shorter!)
True story!
The point is, don't people bother having their own faces these days? They have to copy?
Thatcher's bloody Britain
Continuing on that theme.
I regularly go through a cemetery, and there is a stretch of path that is known as the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
There's Harold Lloyd, Bernard Matthews, May West, and Paul Anka, and I don't think the last one is dead yet.
Use your own name dead and possibly still alive people.

Well, I have now got back to where I was before I was robbed last time. A 58 day streak.
So, if they don't come up with some ludicrous non-word again just to spite me, I may be achieving a personal best tomorrow.

Yay!
I'm at a loss to understand why you do an American crossword as they can't speak proper English, not like what you and I does, let alone write it
I have enough trouble with The Times and Daily Mail cryptic

But it's not a crossword; it's a word game. It was the only one available when it started off. Maybe there are others available now
It does have 1 across.

There is a British one I think.

Tell me more.............😊
Dunno if this is the one Chappers means, but for those of you who've got Sky, there's a Wordle-style game (exactly the same format, six guesses to guess a 5-letter word) on Sky Free Games, called Wordlefull Puzzle.
Like the original Wordle, you get one new one each day, and then wait until tomorrow for the next one. But, there are also two other sections, a Regular Mode and Hard Mode, both of which you can play as often as you like. So if I'm bored I'll sometimes do loads of games in one sitting.
