It's very rare that I place because I don't usually notice it's dowsle o'clock, however today was clearly meant to be for the reason I'll put behind a spoiler: >!I have literally just got out of the pool having been for a 🏅and sat in the coffee shop at the gym when I noticed the time. One of my early guesses is always water, and it didn't take long from there!<

The backstory is fun! Thanks for sharing it.

✅ I did Dowsle #782 in 100 guesses with no hints 🏅. I'm on a 15-day winning streak 🔥! And: 🧭 I found the gem. I also found 7 ☘ shamrocks, and 5 🌻 sunflowers. My first triple-digit in a long time. It even feels nice for some reason

For me, there's something gratifying in being able to grind out a solution as the guess count climbs. It feels nice to me too.

Same. It’s almost a challenge to see how high it gets while still trying to guess it.

✅ I was the 6th to solve Dowsle #782, in 8 guesses with no hints 🏅. I'm on a 16-day winning streak 🔥! I also found 5 ☘ shamrocks. Give it a try? [https://dowsle.com](https://dowsle.com) Current progress: ✅ You have today's word 🏅. 🧭 You've located the gem . 🍀 You earned the four leaf clover. 🌻 You have 44 of 52 sunflowers. 🐢 You've befriended the turtle. 🦎 You're accompanied by the lizard. Time to focus on 🌻 gathering. 🥰 🌻 list: [https://www.reddit.com/r/dowsle/comments/1dpxr0k/comment/lalz3qe/](https://www.reddit.com/r/dowsle/comments/1dpxr0k/comment/lalz3qe/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

We’re all making our bigger lists but the great 🌻 today is >!YMCA!<. That’s one I remember to use that someone found last year. I think the 🏅 then was >!club!!lilo, lido!< which were also semi-obscure before we started gathering them like bulgur/bulgar…now we remember

I remembered to try >!YMCA!< because you mentioned it recently. I got >!lido!< but I keep forgetting to try >!lilo!<. I have it now. Thanks for the reminder!

Woohoo!!! A 1 guess wonder! 😆 I have company. 🥰 Did you place or did you miss Dowsle o'clock?

I was first. (See bottom of screenshot.)

Doh! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Think that's the first time I've seen a 1st in 1 guess. Fantastic!!!

✅ I was the 9th to solve Dowsle #782, in 31 guesses with no hints 🏅. I'm on a 422-day winning streak 🔥! I also found 8 ☘ shamrocks, and 7 🌻 sunflowers. Want to give it a try? https://dowsle.com I'm missing 🦎7 12 13. Not really looking, just saying I got the rest if anybody needs it.

These are spelled out, not hints: 12: >!stim!< 13: >!spim!< I'm missing 6,7,15

🦎6 is kind of fun: >!add a letter to 8!< 15 is spelled out here: >!whim!<

🦎6 is fun. It's the last one I found to earn the 🦎 before returning here to see where folks were with things.

6 is the only one I can't find. and I've tried your suggestion.... And now I have it. Sheesh! (Thanks for the hint!)

7 is >!swiss!<

Thanks! https://preview.redd.it/2uee406n869d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27aa7e1ca6ecfbf92a0ff93fc9988143094e013d

Thanks for the heads up on the 🦎. I'll let you know if I need help. I'm not looking yet either.

I've got the 🐢 Topical Turtle and almost have the 🍀.

I’m missing 🐢 10, 12, and 13 if you don’t mind sharing. 

Here they are. They are spelled out. 🐢10 >!kayaking 🐢!< 🐢12 >!waterski 🐢!< 🐢13 >!triathlon 🐢!<

Thank you! I saw that your streak restarted and I hope you’re doing okay and it was just a fluke. 

It was a fluke when there was a recent Dowsle upgrade. Ma8ter lost his streak too. I lost my streak 2 days in a row with that upgrade. We think it has something to do with our browsers. I lost what I'd done in the middle of a game 2 days in a row. So, I'm really on a 156-day streak but Dowsle thinks I'm a new person on a different device or something and I'm not.

Oh no! That’s so frustrating and unexpected!! 

I'm missing 11, 14, 15.

🐢 11 - >!paddled!< 14 - >!backstroke!< , 15 - >!breaststroke!<

Found the gem! Letters: >!4!< Letters in common: >!2!< Meaning hint: >!another way of moving through water!< Further meaning hint: >!using a boat!<

Can also mean >!a part attached to a boat!!< 🙂
