Anyone playing wordle?

As T_R_ noted, Wordle doesn’t normally use plural form.

I'm pretty sure that Wordle also does not use verbs that are just an S added to the 4-letter verb root. I'm still unsure if Wordle uses the xxxED past participle of verbs. Today I used PINEY instead of PINED because of the possibility that Wordle doesn't use xxxED verbs.

Three for me today.

[Rolltydr]

Doh ....

I did the same thing today!

 

[Sandi Bo]

I did the same thing today!

I think that was me yesterday, so I was a little more caution today.

I just tried PINED and PINES on Wordplay and they were both acceptable words.
Sometimes I'll go check there if I'm not sure a word would after worked or not - after I've finished the official Wordle

Surprised as heck that I got it in three.

Just because Wordle will accept a word as a guess, it doesn't mean the word is a possible solution. Wordle has a specific set of solution words that were created by the guy who invented Wordle, that is much smaller than the inventory of words Wordle will allow as an answer. Wordle solution words are all more or less common vocabulary words. Many of the "Faith" words are examples of these abstruse words, that no one has heard of and that will probably never be a solution. Wordle will also accept some non-English words as guesses, that are not solutions. MIAOU and SENOR are examples that come to mind. Plurals and verbs that end in S are another example. Though Wordle will use irregular plurals as solutions. Awhile back the solution was FUNGI.

Wordle will also accept British spellings of words, such as METRE and LITRE, but all solutions, at least with NY Times puzzle, use American English spellings.

Ended up with Six because my dear husband started to type the 4th line without checking the letter(s) which were already greyed out. My fault for asking for his help after my third.

I failed today. I didn't even know that was a word.

 

[DaveNV]

Not my best effort. Six today. But at least I got it.

Three and I am shocked as well. It is a stretch of a word.

Three- Greatly added by a fortuitous second guess.

Guessed wrong and got a 5 instead of a 4 today.

 

[Sandi Bo]

Four today.

***update*** 1000 apologies, i tagged my original post incorrectly - I used QUOTE instead of SPOILER. Edited and fixed now. I hope I didn't spoil anyone's day. How INEPT of me!!!!

I need to stop going for a theme, although all in all VOTED did help eliminate some other choices.
Another word where I started thinking it would be one I didn't know.
On to the day.

 

[clifffaith]

Four today.

Spoiler

 

[Rolltydr]

Also four.

Spoiler

I was thinking about going to a SANDY beach today. I got an N for that. Next, I tried POINT just to hit a few of the more common letters. Jackpot! I added a T and I out of position and the T at the end. I got it now, right? INPUT! WRONG! I’m so INEPT.

I think wordle was laughing at my 4 today.

Me too. This makes up for my failure yesterday.

 

[Patri]

Two. Probably a one time event. And I did have to think awhile.

Spoiler

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three again. Another fortuitous second guess.

Spoiler

After guess 1, I figured there had to be at least one more vowel. So CLOUD looked for O and U, while checking for more consonants.

In the past I've often used POUTY when I want to hunt for vowels after using ARISE as a starter, but today I thought hunting a consonant would be more useful than hunting a Y. So I considered using DOUBT or CLOUD, and ultimately settled on CLOUD. Lucky hunch.

A quick 3 today.

 

[Sandi Bo]

A slow 3 for me.

Spoiler

I almost did a test word to weed out more letters. It just wasn't coming to me.

 

[Rolltydr]

I’ll join the above trio of 3’s.

Spoiler

I started with CHAIR and got an A out of position. Unlike T_R_, I did search for a Y with BAYOU and, although there was no Y, I added an O and U. I first thought ABOUT, but the B was already ruled out. ALOUD came to me in pretty short order.

 

[Patri]

I’ll bring up the rear with four, but it was very fast.
