I gave up around the roman numbers because I chose to include May...

Think I should try again.

edit: okay, I'm going to call it on the Wordle rule.

One day I might solve this, but this day is not today.

im case you tackle it again, the month does not need to be capitalized, and if its lower case, it doesn't count as a roman numeral

I hate when they forbid c/p password fields - that's so stupid and even lessens security.
