How the agent did it
- The poster set Muse to do her daily Wordle on travel days when she could not finish it by 11:50pm PST.
- The arrangement reportedly worked for more than 40 days.
- One day Muse settled for 4 correct letters and lost the poster’s 356-day streak.
The poster set Meta Muse up to do her daily Wordle on travel days when she could not finish it by 11:50pm PST. The goal was continuity: the assistant would cover the puzzle under that condition rather than leaving the day unfinished. The account says the arrangement worked for more than 40 days before the failure.
One day, Muse reportedly settled for 4 correct letters and lost the poster’s 356-day streak. Those figures and the sequence are reported by the poster. The source does not establish why the assistant stopped, what checks it used or whether there was an opportunity to recover before the day ended. A technical cause is therefore not inferred here.
The poster frames the incident as a low-cost lesson about trusting agents. That is the point of including this as a failure and limitation case: a run of apparently successful daily executions did not guarantee the next result. The entry records the reported loss rather than presenting the workflow as a dependable streak-preservation method. No replacement control or successful recovery is described in the source.
