Anyone playing wordle?

A quick 4 today.

Four for me today

Spoiler

Guess 3 was an elimination word - all of the consonants in FILCH were included in viable solutions after guess 2. After eliminating F, C, and H and getting a hit on L in guess 3, SNARL was the only solution word I could come up with.

Wordle 514 X/6

 

[Rolltydr]

Three. I talked myself right out of a two.

Spoiler

I opened with PRANK and got quite a haul. A in middle position plus an R & N. My first inclination was SNARL but I thought, nah. I then thought of LEARN and decided to go with it. That added the L, got the R in the 4th position and I was pretty sure it had to be SNARL. It was.

Four, with my usual 3 starter words.

Five today. Comment in the spoiler.

What gave me fits was trying to think of what letter could fit into the fourth slot after my third word. Couldn't be another L, so what then could go before the final L? I really thought that I had it with my fourth word, but it failed. It did lead me to the right choice for that fourth slot, but I like my fourth word better. Not that this makes any difference.

Tough word.

Two!

Spoiler

My instant thought after my opening word was SCARY. Then I forced myself to look at other options. Next thought was SNARL and I thought the ARL at the end made it more obscure than ARY. Then I came up with SNARK. Than I thought to use LANKY to narrow some letters down. Ultimately I really liked SNARL, crossed my fingers and went for it.

Wordle 515 6/6

Four fairly quickly.

[Rolltydr]

Three but not quick.

Spoiler

A new starter this morning. PARTY got an R out of position and the A in 2nd position. RADIO added nothing but eliminated R as the starting letter. At this point, I debated using an elimination word just trying to find additional letters or actually trying wild guesses using the A and R. I also needed to know if there was an E or U in the word. I thought of trying LEMUR or FEMUR. But, then I thought of MAKER and BAKER. Fortunately, I settled on BAKER.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Four today, helped by a fortuitous guess 3.

Spoiler

After guess 2 I knew the solution was xAxER. There are lots of words that fit that pattern. A few months ago the solution was PARER, and about 50% of the players at NYTimes did not succeed; several players here also bombed.

So I chose BLAND as an elimination word. That was a good selection, because it gave me B as the starting letter and eliminated BALER as the solution. With BALER and BASER gone, BAKER looked like the only viable BAxER option; all other possibilities seemed to me to be Faith words.

Five today. Three correctly positioned letters on the second try, but then had to go through the possible words for the last two letters. Took me three tries to find the correct combination (four tries if you count the second word as another possibility).

A quick 4 today.

Oops - I didn't hit enter yesterday (it was very early).
A disappointing 5 for Tuesday. So many possibilities and I made poor choices.

Spoiler

I was excited to see 3 letters on my 1st word. Identified SPARK, SWARM, SCARF, SHARK, SNARK, and SNARL. I chose words that would help eliminate more than one word. Dang, dead last choice was the right one. Thank goodness we have 6 tries.

And a 5 for today, but not so disappointing. Similar to yesterday, but it was a quick, try this... ok next things that comes to mind. So quick and painless, but 5.
