Not a bad guess.
That's what my brain said at 2:47am when my business page locked me out.
6 food orders pending. Customers waiting. And me, staring at "Enter Password" like it owed me money.
First guess: password123 ❌
Second guess: myname2024 ❌
Third guess: ILoveMoney2025 ❌
Fourth guess: my cat's name + 2019
Ding.
It opened.
Not a bad guess. More like the dumbest, most desperate, most "why did that work" guess of my life.
I sat there laughing at 2:48am. Because the password I used to secure my business... was the name of my cat Whiskers.
My brain didn't forget her. My fingers didn't forget her. Muscle memory is wicked o 😂
For 3 years I thought I was "secure". Changed my email, changed my phone, added 2FA.
But my password? My password still remembered Whiskers. The cat who slept on my keyboard when I created that account.
Not a bad guess, they said in the Freewriters prompt.
Maybe life is like that. Sometimes the guesses we think are silly, small, not serious enough... are the exact ones that open the door.
Sometimes "not a bad guess" is just another way of saying "you knew the answer all along". You were just overthinking it.
My business is safe. My orders went out. Whiskers still doesn't know she unlocked my 2026 revenue 😂 She's just busy napping.
What's one "bad guess" you made that turned out to be exactly right?
The wrong password. The wrong turn. The wrong button.
