Wordle 799 4/6

I had a bit of a lapse in thought on my third guess, but it ended up working out in my favor. I just thought of the word, typed it out, and hit enter. I got lucky with the green square in the first spot, and then lucky again with my guess of PEACE over PHAGE. It may not have been the most optimal choice, but it went my way in the end.

I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so sometimes I can get myself down over these little slip-ups. Maybe I didn’t solve in three, sure, but I was able to recover well and come out the other end with a perfectly adequate Wordle solve. Sometimes, it all just works out, and I think I’d rather be open to that outcome more often, as opposed to the alternative.

I give this puzzle four stars for the needed fragment of positive outlook.

Today’s word is PEACE. According to Webster’s New World College Dictionary, it’s a noun that refers to inner contentment or serenity.
