Drive your strength to seek ten letters
The buzzer goes when finish raffle,
Instinct, speed, will blow out betters,
On-stage, your spirit brains will baffle.

If only I had thought of trying the simplest solution first, instead of getting my brains scrambled by various experts or tugs at my pockets by those who offered a solution for cash!

I’m lost, and feel very inadequate to the task! I saw your Wordle a few days ago, and thought I’d come back to see if someone had solved the puzzle. No luck? I’ll be back again later. I am flummoxed! (Oh how I hate to admit that!) 🙂
LikeLike
I didn’t think it would give any trouble, It isn’t even as if nobody can read Old English, because I put the letters in ordinary font below. So, a combination of a combination and a Hebrew trick will do the trick

I do like your poem written so concisely and in rhyme too. Well done.

Excellent wordle, Leslie, the verse you’ve conjured up is magical of itself, it’s spell totally enchanting, a grimoire of succinctness. Truly, real magic is words.

No, the number is ten as mandated!

“Magic Letters” . . . has 12 letters. What are you referring to?
LikeLike
Yes, but Magic Letters aren’t the magic letters. That is simply an advertisement for them. You have to find them and then make sense of them.
LikeLike
Again . . . you done lost me. Is it something local to where you live?
LikeLike
Do you happen to see where there ARE ten letters?
LikeLike
Yes, but the letters are in a difficult script and hence I’m mystified as to their magical meaning as I can’t make out what some of them are.
I presume you’re implying they are some sort of spell a mystic might cast, but I just don’t see any magic in them. Then again, I don’t believe in magic or mystics.
LikeLike
You need to keep it simple. Right, in normal script that would be:
SMS
ICI
TS
YM

You did read my message, right?
But yes, initially I wasn’t sure what the letters were.

It is simply that there is purportedly magic in what the simply decoded script reads The motivation was, of course, to justify my arrangement of the Wordle.

Not surprising, when it arises from a Wordle, where words have to take over tasks for which they have no training or experience.
