[00:00:00]Hello, today's bonus game is symbol. I'm going to start with blaze as I always do in symbol.

[00:00:05]All right, so that's probably all grays.

[00:00:08]I had a very confused commenter who thought I was colorblind.

[00:00:12]Those are green pentagons, but every time you play the symbols are different.

[00:00:15]So I equate them to the Wordle equivalent color.

[00:00:19]So in this case green pentagon is going to be the gray equivalent, meaning those letters aren't in the word.

[00:00:26]So I'm only going to talk about yellows and greens as well, but those are I am not colorblind, I promise. I know what colors are. Okay, so because that was all gray, I like to follow up with the toxin. Five new letters and still an uncommon letter in the mix.

[00:00:40]Right, this is why I mean it doesn't always work, but I like when the uncommon letters catch a symbol. So this purple infinity sign is very unlikely to be the green because that would mean we'd have an X in the word and it would be in the middle. That's extremely unlikely. So we can basically assume that this is our yellow equivalent.

[00:01:00]And the yellow circle is actually our green equivalent. So we're going to need to bring the I back down. That means that there's the I is here. Now this letter here in the middle it's doesn't mean that the yellow doesn't mean the X is elsewhere in the word. It means a different letter in the word goes where the X is, but we can't use the I cuz the I is already used as the green.

[00:01:21]So it needs to be a T O or N.

[00:01:23]So I mean we could do O I. I'm not sure about O I in that spot. Like what would we do?

[00:01:29]So maybe we'll do something like N I or T I instead.

[00:01:33]Um what would be a good word for that?

[00:01:37]Would be any word for that?

[00:01:40]Uh Ooh.

[00:01:47]I'm having trouble. I don't know why.

[00:01:48]Let's put I mean A E and O would be gone. So we could put a U or another I um here.

[00:01:57]Uh t i u t i What about i t i or i n i?

[00:02:14]Finna pinna dinna rinna winna What are we doing here?

[00:02:27]t i It doesn't have to be a vowel, but I was thinking Uh maybe we maybe we do do o i then.

[00:02:37]I think of anything How about How about r o i? That actually makes it easier.

[00:02:41]We can't end with n though.

[00:02:44]We could do droid.

[00:02:47]Just to test that. I feel like there should be something better.

[00:02:53]Is droid accepted? I feel like it is.

[00:02:55]Let's try it.

[00:02:56]It is.

[00:02:58]Okay, so I'm wrong about the o, but the i is here.

[00:03:01]So Yeah, it's an n or a t here.

[00:03:06]I just got to figure it out. What are we ending in?

[00:03:08]Maybe that'll help.

[00:03:14]n i s n i f n i c Maybe n i c?

[00:03:19]tunic No, we can't start with t.

[00:03:22]Hm.

[00:03:24]conic No, no.

[00:03:27]eunic finn I like the i c, but it's not working.

[00:03:31]Maybe t i c instead? antic No.

[00:03:36]addic No.

[00:03:41]Tough one today.

[00:03:44]mutic nic t i m n i m Whoa.

[00:03:53]I don't know. So, we know there's no O.

[00:03:56]Maybe it could be Maybe it could be S Q U I.

[00:03:59]Squib and squid are both gone.

[00:04:02]So, I don't think there's anything else that does that.

[00:04:08]Is there a different U I here?

[00:04:11]U I C, U I M, U I P.

[00:04:15]Squip.

[00:04:17]I keep wanting to put the U there. Um It just seems unlikely, doesn't it?

[00:04:24]That there's a word like that.

[00:04:27]U here seems more likely, but we got to We've already looked at this and I couldn't find anything.

[00:04:32]Um I may have to do a filler.

[00:04:41]Find out what's in the middle.

[00:04:44]And I mean, I could do like squid or or squib as a filler. But, let's try squid as a filler just to get some progress on this solve.

[00:04:59]All right, so no U.

[00:05:02]Maybe I If I was going to do a filler, maybe I should have included an N or a T. Darn. Well, we know there's no U now.

[00:05:08]So, is it one of these double I ones like civic, but definitely not civic cuz we need an N or a T in the middle.

[00:05:15]Minim.

[00:05:17]I just thought of minim. It's not minim.

[00:05:20]But, it is N I, but it's not There's not another I.

[00:05:25]Could we be doing cynic?

[00:05:28]Oh, the Y there. That's sneaky. Okay, that was tough.

[00:05:34]That was very tough. I think I made a poor choice of filler, but I got there eventually. I wish I wish I'd thought of minim when I had that N I M N I I N I filled out.

[00:05:44]Or N I C. If I'd thought of cynic.

[00:05:47]But, got there eventually.

[00:05:48]All right, let's spin the bonus game wheel and see what tomorrow's game will be.

[00:05:55]It is Silverfear's suggestion of Squirtle.

[00:05:59]I do the daily Squirtle for those who want to follow along.

[00:06:03]And how do you do?
