Use Your Brain - Exercise It With a Friend or Two

[ChemEngineer]

New York Times app Wordle is a daily game where you try to guess
the five-letter word with real time hints they provide you.
The twenty-volume Oxford English Dictionary reportedly has 171,000
five-letter words. You get six tries in Wordle.

I did it in two today, starting with HEART and got the answer on
my second try. It will knock you over.

Your brain is like a muscle. It too needs exercise to stay strong.

Engage in as much reading as you can, especially that of the analytical, data laden variety.

Also, get rid of calcium within the brain arteries. Sketchy science behind it and if anyone can find more hard science I greatly welcome it here, but apparently K2 with D3 is a stack that decreases or minimizes calcium blockage in the arteries.

If your current friends aren't exercizing your brain, you need new friends.

Since starting it in April, 2022, I have gotten the word of the day forty-six times on my second try, and 145 times on my third try. It's pretty cool to get it second or third try.

You should also do Connections, a four by four square of words that "connect" in some way which you have to figure out. It gets progressively harder from yellow, to green, to blue to purple.

I always ask a tennis partner to pick the first word and go from there. Sometimes when the word seems to have few of the most common letters, it is a remarkably good starter word, as these three show.

Richard Dawkins' silly computer "simulation" of evolutionary "selection" would never get one word in only six tries, much less two or three.

Studying the words is nice, but as for me - studying languages is much more entertaining. Duolingo, for instance is the pretty useful game.

My favorite courses in the game.
