This is laughable, @RonWaxman “Wordle uses typically common words.” Thanks @nytimes for telling me I have a great vocabulary. It comes in handy when I have to guess trash words, such as today’s #Wordle.

@cbtobon @Delta @HBO @billmaher The transcriber worked for @united perhaps. 🤣

[Luana Y. Ferreira, Ph.D. @lingodom]

Careful who you hire as cc transcribers. The joke was “Being an adult often means choosing between two horrible options, like the food on United.” The transcriber wrote @Delta @HBO @billmaher #linguistictransparency #prdisaster

@billmaher Please invite Dr. Jennie Young on your show who has an upcoming book on a dating method called Burned Haystack Dating Method. She uses applied discourse analysis to reveal toxic behaviors. #burnedhaystackdatingmethod #BDHM #Jennieyoung

It’s all about consistency and perseverance! @RonWaxman

[Luana Y. Ferreira, Ph.D. @lingodom]

We’re in the rare 91th percentile today, @RonWaxman With my first word, I lucked out and had five left. Knowing the @nytimes I played the least common word on my second try which led me to the solution.

I made this word up purely on linguistic intuition, phonology, and the @nytimes patterns of predictability. @RonWaxman

NOT TODAY SATAN! 35% of the #wordle community lost their streak. Even on my first turn, I had 98 words left. I wasn’t going to fall for the green tile spree on this one! @RonWaxman @nytimes

Again, I am just testing words, making them up as I go along. I think Tracy Bennett is just angry at the world. Who hurt her?

@RAEinforma @InstCervantes ¡Saludos fraternales! Pregunta, ¿El X Congreso Internacional de la Lengua Española está abierto para el público? ¿Cómo hago para asistir?

[Luana Y. Ferreira, Ph.D. @lingodom]

@RonWaxman @nytimes 🤣🤣🤣 I need to know how she got that job. I have a Ph.D. In linguistics and can confidently say that I can do a better job without diluting the game. I am also a polyglot. Additionally, there are also people who get paid to play. How do I sign up for that gig?

[Luana Y. Ferreira, Ph.D. @lingodom]

At this point, I am just making up words to see what sticks. #wordle @nytimes @RonWaxman

Always go with the most uncommon word.

[Luana Y. Ferreira, Ph.D. @lingodom]

Today, I performed in the 98th percentile, compared to the national at 78% skills-based success rate. This is not about skills, but about choosing the most unusual word out of the bunch. Lately, #wordle is less about words and more about uncommon letter combinations. @RonWaxman

[Luana Y. Ferreira, Ph.D. @lingodom]

Many people lost their streak on Wordle today. 78% success rate of the 6th try. @RonWaxman

@Delta As one of the pricier airlines and as a Delta @AskAmex Reserve Card holder, and a Medallion member to boot, I expect the level or service promised.
