1. Whew, that was a quick one. With :37 left on the clock, I guess I did this in 8 seconds. Not bad especially considering I’m using the trackpad on my work laptop.

   • That seemed super fast, although looks like Tony beat you by a second.

2. You beat me… Score

   • Close though – we might have needed to measure this one in nanoseconds as a tiebreaker.

3. 6/6 with 30 seconds left

   • Perfect score!

4. To my shame the picture I clicked for Metallica… was Coldplay. Not often those two get mixed up!

   • I initially thought the Metallica one was Jim Morrison – doesn’t look very metal.

5. Crikey, coffee in hand: 6/6 with 38sec left on the timer

   • That’s almost 1 per second – lightning fast.

6. I rushed too fast and did the same mistake UK#1s blog did. Ugh!!

   • Not the mistake I’d expect from you, but that Metallica photo isn’t very metal…

7. Got all six with 0.32 left on timer.

   • Perfect score!

8. Score

   • Great job, thanks for playing!

9. 100%! Yippee! :24 left

   • Awesome – perfect score.

10. 1000 Knives music is off the hook. An A+ for effort.

    • Pretty amazing live band – Sakamoto’s then-wife Akiko Yano is pretty awesome in her own right, while that guitarist shreds.

      • I can’t imagine the energy pouring out of them live. Will need to listen to more of their music.

        • I never heard of them until recently, but they’re basically a supergroup. All three members are also well known solo artists – Sakamoto has done a ton of famous scores for movies too.

          • I do see that name of the group is YMO (Yellow Magic Orchestra)? Tried searching for 1000 knives and found it that way. Listening on spotify right now…

          • Yup, Yellow Magic Orchestra. Have you heard Behind the Mask? Maybe their most recognisable song.

          • No I haven’t (just checked it out.) This is the kind of music my younger son likes. He may know it.

11. Not fast (24 seconds left), but I’ll take the 6/6 accuracy!

    • My Wordle strategy involves almost always using 5 or 6 guesses, but almost never getting it wrong.
