@EdW I tried Harbour to start with - Very misleading question

Steve HARBOUR would have given you a green A
so the rest were wrong before you tried them
I Started with HARBOUR and then started writing down words fitting the clue with A as the second
Letter and LANDING was the only one that I came up with after nearly half an hour

Hi, EdW, Pat, I ran out of answers for this one. I tried Harbour, Mooring, Wharves, Wharfes, Seaport, Jetties 🤔🤔🤔and it was--Landing 😣😥
I should have known ?? Two of my boats are only 3ft away from our landing, in the spare bedroom 😀😆😀 😥.

Hi Pat

LANDING

Regards
Ed

@SouthportPat
landings

@EdW So what was the correct answer to where a ship docks ?

@EdW Thanks Ed, I might give it a go.

@SimpleSailor

Start by putting in the word you think is correct. Matching the letter count required. The clue simplifies the process as normally there is no clue
When you press enter the letters will change colour.
Green - correct letter in correct position
Yellow. - the letter is in the word but wrong position
Grey. - the letter is not in the word
When you have the correct word all letters will be green

@EdW Hi Ed. Could you explain to me how the word puzzle works? I can't find any instructions. Cheers.

Don’t worry Pat, it stumped me for quite a while before I got it

I got it right but hardly the word described.
Roy

well todays crossword has me beat - anyone the same

@RNinMunich . . . AND THEY ARE ALMOST THE SAME ANSWER REEF-ER

Another repeat🙄

😎

Ditto repeato today 26.07.26. 🙄

*PS: QotD uses Midnight 'ZULU TIME to update'. Which is the same 'moment in time' anywhere in the world regardless of the the local time.
So who's ahead or behind is irrelevant.*

@BOATSHED Australia or Canada doesn't get the question early, and stop calling me Surely!! 😁In Canada Eastern Time Zone we get the question at 8 pm local time. I think it is in squence of answering. I will answer moments after 8 pm EST and be the first at the top of the list. I will check back a couple of hours later (really, no life) and find more names above mine.

Having answered QoD in Australia the timing for a new question is still UK time for midnight or thereabouts.
Roy

@roycv
I think the earlier in the day that you answer the question, the higher you are on the correct order of the list.
If you chech, that's why Austrailia are top as they are, What ? 12 hours in front of us so surely they get the question first.

Could it be a time order of when the question was answered?
Roy

I did have a look into this…

It seems it’s totally arbitrary the order of members scoring the same. Not based on surname, username, when registered, last online, or anything particularly. Simply however the database happens to retrieve the data.

An order could be put in… but what would make it fair? Rank maybe? 😆

Stephen

Why worry where you are on the leaderboard, does it give you any advantage. Live with it, it’s only a game

This comes clearly under 'oneupmanship' a puerile example at attempting to force people like me with a surname beginning with V to the bottom. Unfortunately, I can do that for myself, but it shows how dog eat dog it is at the top!
Roy😉😉

Just wondering - now that so many people are in the 100% club and I have my own views on why that is - what is the order in which there names are displayed - is it random, those who answered first or is there indeed a ranking system in the 100% club ?

Sod it I got mixed up with when Mount Vesuvius blew up! How the mighty have fallen, not me but there were 11% of us. Never mind it will be a good day today! My birthday has come around again and we have a family lunch scheduled.

Ok Ross glad it's working again. I was going to put something about the likes bit at the very bottom of the comments page but I had to end my reply abruptly as my glucose meter readings were alerting me to get my meal asap 🤔☺, which I have just eaten. I have been a diabetic for over 66 years!!
I'm not into stopping to make and to eat meals when I could be doing more interesting things like building models ☺ or not so interesting like gardening 😐. There's just not enough hours in the day!! 😀.

@Steves-s Hi Steve, 9 hours ago the LIKED BY . . . line went missing, but then it came back

Hi RossM
if anyone likes some of the posts that I have put on here, I get an email that tells me. When I click on any, it automatically takes me to the relevant website posts ☺.
It's the ones that members don't like that I can't see - thank goodness 🙄 😁.

I have noticed that we can't track who our likes are from anymore

QotD 19.7.26 A hangover from the original format😝

Hi Edw, 8 now I forgot to do the Friday one!
Roy

I'ts been nearly a month since I had a go. All caught up now..

@EdW I think a while ED - the questions have become notably easier

6 of us at the top at 100%, any bets on how long will it last and who will fall first.
🤣

The expression ebb and flow, comes from this.
Roy

Wow got todays wrong,
I''m one of the 7% that got it wrong.
(NUMPTY)
Back down to climb the ladder againg and this time it wasn't a sailng boat question.

The first to land in a pre-dawn attack were the SAS lead by Paddy Maine, although due to British Army politics they were called SRS (Special Raiding Squadron). The same politics ensured that Paddy Maine never received a Victoria Cross which he deserved many times over.

Lateral finking.🙃🙃😂.

@EdW Oh!😮 Didn't tink o dat Ed👍

😎

@RNinMunich maybe the ship has capsized 🤔

Rudder above the bridge!🥱
Oh really AI! Too much Pusser's splicing the mainbrace?

😎

Wordle 28.6.26 My favourite 3 vowel 7 letter starter today 😄

😎

As Stephen T said last week, make the puzzle port without using the clue. I looked at the 4 spaces and knew what the answer would be before clicking on the clue

Roy

Wha? U dont want yer lawn trimmed with a sail edger??

(visualize somebody with a electronic sized soldering iron, down on their knees, trimming the edge of the lawn, with a long, heavy duty extension cord, that goes back to the house)

Hi Ross,
So Ai got his luffs in a twist😁
'Oooh naasty!'😦 As Sub Lt. Philips might say😆

😎

Hi all, I was reading about AI and o/p, apparently it does get confused and imagines things. It is common enough for it to have a title, it's called Hallucination!
Dream on baby, just don't trim my lawn.
Roy

AI confused LAWNS for LUFFS or LEECHES??

(edging lawns is probably more common than edging luffs and leeches)

Thanks Ross👍
But why then did AI say 'a tool for trimming lawns' and not sails??😕

😎

Thanks Ross, as I said it is nice to be educated - never heard of a sail edger before.

Doug & luckyduck

I had to look up the connection:
An EDGER in Marine world is a hand tool used for trimming and flattening seams in sailmaking. I just use my finger a really sharp box cutter, a fine point 40W soldering iron or a flat iron

Re 'Wordle' 25.6: Methinks AI has finally gone over the edge!😏
