The problem with Wordle was that over time you'd be entering guesses of words that were previous answers. If you have a great memory, you'd be okay, but mine is not very good anymore.

I wanted to keep playing because it's a good way to clear morning brain fog, so I started using this site, List of Past Wordle Answers & Archive (Updated Daily)

It naturally increased the chances of winning but it diminished the sense of accomplishment.

This was prior to using the site. Threes began to really catch up to fours after using the archive.

p.s. This is a similar game, but with numbers - Bull - Bear

[memory] ... but mine is not very good anymore.
i relate to your words, more than what i like to admit...

i understand what you are doing... i tried doing the same with other game... for a while it was ok... but i am so busy with all the crap i am doing that... there is no more time... so, i need the practice to exercise the memory, but time is of the essence and ... well, i am not doing it as often as i think i need to do it...

on the other hand... keeping me busy is helping....[to drive me crazy]. lolololol

my cousin Jaimie [Alzheimer] is trying to get me, but i refuse to give in... no idea how long i will last

but no worries, the on-going fight somehow i think it is helping

:^)

Alzheimer's is dreadful. My dad had it in his mid '70s, but died in its early stages from a pulmonary embolism

There are memory tests online. They make me a little nervous because my short term memory isn't as sharp anymore.

Case in point, just tried this number memory test and got this result using the slow speed - Alzheimer's, Dementia Test Online | MyBrainTest (scroll down to about the middle of the page to avoid the ads.)

It's getting late in the evening. That might have something to do with it.

But there's another thing, I have developed bad habits on the internet. I might have 40 tabs open on the browser and often flit around among them, especially on YouTube, instead of concentrating on something at length. That indulgence has got to weaken memory skills.
