Anyone playing wordle?

[Rolltydr]

Four. I was on the right track with my first word but didn’t know it.

Spoiler

It seems that another STORM is on the way to Florida so I thought that would be a good place to start. Found an R. Looking for more vowels, I tried AUGER and found an A. Both letters are out of position. There are so many possibilities at this point. I decide to use an elimination word to try and find more consonants that I think fit well with the A and R. I settle on CHINK and it was a very good choice, finding the IN in positions 3&4. It seems likely the RA go in positions 1&2, leaving me with RAINx. Yes, it is going to be RAINY here for the next few days.

Three today.

You could almost make a statement with my guesses today. "Arise, Ralph. It's rainy."

My first time using a new opening word. I guess it is a winner. Two...

Three.

TWO Today!

 

[clifffaith]

A good day for twos!

Spoiler

 

[LannyPC]

I needed five today.

 

[slip]

A wrong guess on 3 gave me a 4.

[Patri]

Oh for Pete’s sake, two. And with a bizarre starter word.

Spoiler

 

[clifffaith]

Two, two days in a row!

[Rolltydr]

Three, and possibly the fastest I’ve ever solved it.

Spoiler

I wanted to start with a word with 4 common consonants so I went with STRAP. A T out of position. Next, I wanted a word with 4 vowels and since the A was eliminated, I went with LOUIE. U&I out of position and I on the end. UNITE was pretty obvious.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Four. Could have been three.

Spoiler

After guess 2, my initial thought was to try to solve with UNITE at guess 3. But then I decided to slow down and see what other words might fit. I came up with five possibilities: UNITE, GUILE, GUIDE, LITTLE, QUITE. That was too many possibilities for my comfort, so I decided to use an elimination word instead of trying to solve. I tried GUILT, as it seemed that at worst GUILT would reduce the solutions to two. As it turned, after GUILT, UNITE was the only remaining solution.

 

["Roger"]

Three today. Closed in fast after my opening word.

[Sandi Bo]

Four, but at least it was fast.

[Patri]

Faith, use your starter word in a sentence.

 

[LannyPC]

Four, but at least it was fast.

Me too.

 

[VacationForever]

Usual 3 starter words and got it on the 4th.

Spoiler

 

[Sandi Bo]

5 for me today

Spoiler

And easily could have been a 6. I went with MEDAL for the win, going with the Veteran's Day theme as PEDAL works, too. I really thought I had it at IDEAL (that one took me a minute to get to).

 

[tombanjo]

I should get some sort of award for this.

Three with another rare starter.

Spoiler

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Four today.

Spoiler

After guess 2 I figured the A was most likely in position 4, so I focused on finding consonants.

 

[Rolltydr]

Five.

Spoiler

My strategy of using 4 consonants in my first word and 4 vowels in my second worked well yesterday, so I tried it again. Not as successful today. PRISM found an M and BAYOU got an A, both out of position. FLAME added an E&M, all still out of position. MEDAL or METAL? I did not win a MEDAL.

 

[VacationForever]

Three usual starter words and got it on the 4th.

[clifffaith]

Back to four today.
