Hopefully the word isn’t “Leaky”

Bleeb watch out for sharks.

Wait! You get cell phone out here? Did you ever think about sending out an SOS?

That’s nothing. I once got it on the first try. Bound to happen when you always start with the same word. I changed my starting word after that. New word but the same letters.

Start with s-h-a-r-k?

That’s pretty good reception you’ve got.

Lo-lo-lo-lo-look out! … it’s a sh-sh-sh-sh-sheesh, I forgot what I was gonna say!

I’ve done it is 2 a few times mostly 5s.

My streak extended to 258 today.

What’s a Wordle?

Uh, Bleeb? This may not be the best place to swim. You just recovered from battlefield injuries and some time spent in he!!. Don’t risk being shark food followed by another visit to he!!.

Save bleeb from the shark

Was it Shark, Water or Drift?

And then her phone goes dead.

Looks like they’re doomed before she runs out of power…bleeb is floating along…..

Bleeb is bobbing!

OOOOOoooooo – is it S H A R K ?!?!?

One time I got a wordle in one guess. It looks to me like solving a wordle is the least of your worries.

try “Quordle” if wordle is getting blase to you

Was it just a coincidence that today’s Wordle word was SHIRK so that if you used SHARK as your first guess based on the comic, you solved Wordle in two guesses like the character in the comic?!?!

Annnd you’ll get the water with 2 leaks

Today my current Wordle streak hit 100. My last streak was 53 and never thought I’d pass it. Not sure how to celebrate:)

Maybe your GPS is working.

Bleeb is giving a little wave on a little wave.

Playing Wordle near a hungry shark raises a whole raft of issues.

Hey folks, why don’t you do something useful and save Bleeb from being shark bait.

Great, now that you’ve finished the wordle, maybe you can have Siri call air rescue. Just a thought.

But the word was “shark” so she should have gotten it in ONE.

Dangle your foot a little closer buddy! Hiya Bleeb! :)

The very first time I played Wordle, I got the answer on the first guess. It’s been downhill ever since.

I bet is was “Shark”.

Timely, since I got Wordle in two guesses today.

Methinks we need a bigger boat.

I hope that phone has solar charging.
