Memory question - re Wordle ...

Weird. Tried it on the lap top, started the puzzle but after I went to check a message, when I came back my first guess was missing and it wouldn't let me re enter it. My wife used to get the NYT so I could probably just register but I'll just play the trouble free version. Frankly I'm pretty tired of plain old Wordle anyhow.

Dang, thought I'd managed to make it work but it was just the practice site again. I give up.

I guessed this 6-letter word in 3/6 tries.

⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛
⬛🟩🟨🟨🟩⬛
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Can you guess this word?

If you complete the daily NYT Wordle, do you still remember the answer later in the day?

I ask because this question came up in a chat with friends and, at least in our group, quite a few would not be able to remember the answer later in the day. Two of the group said they often return to the site later to solve it again as it annoyed them that they could not remember the answer from their earlier attempt.

Mostly, I can remember the answer but, occasionally, it escapes me too. I am guessing that it's because the answer is abstract and has no connections to anything else so, it's easy to forget. Maybe it's similar to when you are distracted and put something down and later cannot recall where it was so, you spend ages looking for your glasses or your keys. Actually, I was once in a hurry to get out and, just as I was leaving I dashed back to see if I had picked up my glasses - yes I had, I was wearing them :ROFLMAO:

I do the NYT Wordle in the morning and, it's ten minutes past three in the afternoon now and, yes I can remember the word ;)

I rarely remember it unless it is something really unusual. Sometimes I can't remember if I solved it or not. Maybe if I ever discussed it with another human being it would seem significant.

I have the devil's own job to remember what threads I posted on previously, let alone the comments that I made. Looking up my remarks in the index, I hope that I didn't make an ass of myself.
When I was younger, I read a feature about memory and ageing. A specialist likened memory to that of an older computer, it slows because there is a lot more information to recall as one ages. That makes sense, but why can I remember, with ease, the name of the boy that I sat next to on my first day at school?

I think perhaps old memories are easier to remember because they are embedded in your brain whereas new memories, when we are older, are more fleeting. Your first day at school would perhaps be a memory you have thought about and/or spoken about over the years whereas a thread you made a brief comment on yesterday is just fleeting and you are unlikely to have given it any further thought. It's just my theory though and, very likely, it is much more complex than that!

You seem to have retained a lot of knowledge about the things you enjoy; your dance steps, your friends, places you visit etc etc so, I wouldn't worry too much about the little things that slip your mind. Having said that, I bought a small piece of brie last week but it was gone when I went to look for it in the fridge. This morning, I had some shopping to do and, can you guess what I found in the bottom of the bag? Yep buried under a pair of woolly gloves and a hat was that little piece of brie! 🙃 :)
