The Connections Warren Watchung Edition June/July/August

THE WARREN-WATCHUNG CONNECTION PAGE 32 JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2022 theconnectionsnj.com If you need a tire that provides improved fuel efficiency, long tread life, and a quiet and comfortable ride, then the CrossContact™ LX25 with EcoPlus™ Technology is For What You Do. This second-generation premium SUV and CUV all-season tire delivers excellent wet braking, reduced noise, and snow performance. I am pleased to continue this column, dedicating it to the memory of Robin Fand, the founder of The Connection Magazines. I am not a Wordle player, but my wife caught the bug. First, it was the original Wordle, where you have up to six attempts to guess the daily five-letter word. With each guess, non-used letters are displayed in gray. If a letter is contained in the word, it is shaded green or yellow. If the letter is in the correct position, it is shown in green, in the wrong position, yellow. As you would expect other games have emerged, like Wordle2, with six letters, which you can play twice a day, and Quordle, a similar game with four words and nine guesses. No doubt, Robin would have enjoyed the emergence of all these puzzles. In fact, ‘robin’ was the Wordle word one day in February, earlier this year. My wife showed me the outpouring of social media postings for Robin on the day ‘robin’ was the 5-letter Wordle of the day. Robin’s sister, Lori, sent a Wordle link to Robin’s husband, Ben, and suggested he play. He did so for the first time on the day ‘robin’ was the word. Ben reported to me that he felt Robin smiling down as he solved her name. Here is how I would have liked to have seen the Wordle solved for Robin and robin. Perhaps one of the millions of people that play the game did it this way. WORDLE MANIA By Dan Rosenberg In fact, ‘robin’ was the Wordle word one day in February, earlier this year.
