Anyone playing wordle?

Four today.
 
4 again. I thought there would be only 2 vowels but was wrong.

Two. As others have noted, there's no substitute for a fortuitous opening word.

Out of position hits on A, D, and E on guess 1. I need to know where they go. With two vowels identified, it's better to look for consonants instead of continuing to hunt vowels.

So for guess 2 my first objective was to put A, D, and E in new positions. As concerns consonants, I generally try to use at least two of S, T, and R early in the puzzle, and that strategy led me to "STEAD" for guess 2. STEAD gave me new positions for the vowels, and incorporated S and T. TREAD or TRADE would have been just as fine for my purposes, but STEAD just happened to come to mind first.

I wasn't trying to solve, and I didn't expect to solve, because there are far too many words that end with xxEAD and xxADE to be making guesses at this stage. I was just following my normal procedures for working through the upper end of the puzzle.

Arrrgggghhhhhhh! So close to having it in 2 but taking 4!:wall::shrug:

I don’t know why but when I looked at the blank grid to start play this word CREPT into my head. Not bad, E in the 3rd position and a T. I needed to move the T and see if the EA combination was in play. The windows of my sunroom were STEAMed over this morning so that seemed like a good word to try. Jackpot! STEA! All
i need if the last letter. Uh-oh! There are many possibilities. STEAK, STEAL, STEAD…. I figure steak is too easy and stead is rarely used so I take the middle road with STEAL. Nope. I try STEAD next and hit.

Have a great weekend fellow TUG wordlers!

Three today. As T_R_ O.. said, a fortuitous opening word helps tons. While not quite as good, a complete strikeout can also be helpful. What is bad is when you might get only one letter and it is out of place.

I just started playing this today. If you remove your first line, the remaining was me today. Arrrggghhh, a 2 turned into a 3.

Still an extremely lucky start.
 
Four for me again today. Rick took five.
 
Three for me today. :thumbup:

Don't feel bad , it took me all 6 too :eek:
I came up with some good guesses tho,
but hadn't r/o the 2 more common letters.
I actually thought of the answer on guess 3 or 4, but thought it was too 'common'.
I was too conditioned by previous games' unusual words.

Three this morning. Logic in spoiler.

Guess 1 is my favorite opening word; I generally like to chase vowels first and ADIEU includes all but O and Y. ADIEU gives me an out of position hit on E.

Guess 2 puts the E in a new location and checks for remaining vowels.

After guess 2, I know the only vowel is E. I don't know if the word has one or two Es, though. I also have an out of position B. As I've noted before, I also like to test for S, R, and T early on in the puzzle.

So for guess 3 I'm looking for a word that:
  • uses B and E
  • incorporates at least two of E, S, R, and T in the added spaces
  • doesn't have an E in position 1 or 4.
  • doesn't have a B in position 2.
  • doesn't use any eliminated letters.
BERTH looks like a good fit, and Bingo!!! Luck is still a factor, though. I'm not trying to solve; I'm just trying to proceed using my Wordle solving strategies. Using my criteria, I could equally have guessed BEERS or BEETS. Based on history, though, I think that Wordle tends to not use plural nouns, so I skew away from words ending in S.

Yesterday was six, but today was four.
 
4 for me.
I started with DREAM today for no apparent reason. Found E and R both out of position. I wanted to move those to new positions, check for more vowels and a T in my second attempt and went with OUTER. Found a T but all 3 are still out of position so my 3rd try has to relocate those and I also wanted to see if there is another E. TERSE fit the bill and that seemed like a good wordle word so I thought I might get lucky. That’s not the word but I get the E and R in their right places. T has to be in the 4th or 5th position so in looking at my keyboard of remaining letters, I start looking for words and BERTH comes to mind pretty quickly but I spend a couple minutes looking for other options Nothing better comes to mind so I go with it for the win.

Three today. Almost a repeat of yesterday. Three letters, while out of place, on my opening word. From there it was just a matter of honing in. As noted before, there is no substitute for a fortuitous opening word.

Lucky or what? I use a new starter word every day. This one happened to be ideal. In two.

PS The starter word was not ‘ideal’. LOL
