NY Times average 3.9 and Wordlebot in 4.

First six in a LONG time, thanks to reuse of an answer in MCH, with two possible answers NOT have been used. Had to use an elimination word to determine the final answer among three possible previously used answers.
Phew indeed!

I really think they're taking the previous answers out when they win a 2nd time.

I’ve been there, gleefully rubbing my hands together in anticipation of a 2-fer, only to hang on by my fingernails for a 6 on the same puzzle.

My oldest son--the one who decided not to go to college --is a software engineer for android phones. He's doing very well for himself.

Glad your son has a decent job and it sounds like the kind of job that will be around for a while.
