Anyone playing wordle?

Three

Spoiler

Based on guess 1, there needed to be another vowel, and GROUT tested for O and U, while putting the R in a new location.

After guess 3, I concluded the missing vowel was another E. Sorting through, my options seemed to be either THERE or THREE.

Had the pattern down at three, but it took me five during my sleepless night.

A come hither 4 for me after a test guess

[Rolltydr]

Five for me, also, Faith. And I slept pretty well, so I don’t have an excuse.

Spoiler

I’m at Ocean Walk this morning watching the beautiful sunrise in Daytona BEACH. I found an E & H out of position. I wanted to check the remaining vowels next using PIOUS. Nada! Well, maybe there’s a Y, so I tried THYME. Nope, but got T, H & E all in correct position. I need positions 3 & 4. There has to be a second E. THREE or THERE. Not THREE. So, THERE!

Three

I coulda been three. But you know how that goes.

["Roger"]

Four. Could have been three, could have been five.

[Passepartout]

Two here.

 

[VacationForever]

Easy three.

Four. Could have been three, could have been five.

Me too. On my third try, I got an anagram of the word.

4 today. I almost guessed it in the 3rd guess but figured it wouldn't be that.

 

[Sandi Bo]

A 4 (and barely in time). I feel like that should have been a 2, but it just didn't come to me.

And lo, I looked into the heavens and saw a sign, a bit of a squiggle really, but it inspired me to a 3 today

[Patri]

Four. Such a hard word!

Spoiler

 

[Rolltydr]

Four, and I agree with Patri. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard the word.

Spoiler

I’m sitting in my timeshare looking out at the OCEAN, which did nothing for my Wordle game. Next, I tried FRUIT to identify the remaining vowels. Okay, so the only vowel is a Y. Ah-hah! GYPSY! What? It took quite some time between my third and fourth attempts because I couldn’t make a word. I finally stumbled on a combination of letters that looked like it might be a word so I tried GLYPH. I then googled it to see what the hell it meant!

 

[Sandi Bo]

It was a 3 for me. Tough one!

Here I am showing my sister how to play, telling her they don't use weird words, and then this!!! ALMOST used a throw away word to narrow things down.

I was actually trying to think of a good throw away word when I stumbled upon the answer.

 

["Roger"]

Five. I'm impressed with the fact that the previous posters were able to get it sooner. Such a tough word.

Spoiler

 

[VacationForever]

Four. After 3, there was really no other word than the answer because nothing else would fit into the missing letter.

Four

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three for me.

Spoiler

Guess 2 narrowed things down greatly; there aren't many words where Y is the only vowel, and the word also doesn't end in Y. My solutions set was GLYPH, LYMPH, and NYMPH. (SYLPH is another word of that type, but I had eliminated S in the first guess.)

The options were few enough that I didn't need an elimination word. I tried GLYPH; if that wasn't correct I would know which of the other two was correct by revealing whether the solution word had an L.

A surprising four today.

 

[Patri]

Four. Still think my third word would have been better.

Spoiler

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three today. After guess 2 there were two choices, and I guessed correctly.

Spoiler

Also went back to ARISE as a starter word. While RAxxx is more common than ARxxx, there are more words that have R in position 2 than in position 1. So ARISE gives me a better chance of getting a green R on the first guess.

 

[Rolltydr]

Five for me, thanks to short-term memory loss on my third & fourth attempts.

Spoiler

Looking for consonants, and the binary Y, I started with TRULY. No Y but T & R out of position. ROAST got the T in the correct end position and added an A, which I promptly ignored. Despite the strong inclination the pattern could be AxxRT, the word MERIT entered my brain and I completely forgot the A. It did add the E and limited the R to position 4 so it wasn’t a total bomb. Oh, but I still didn’t notice the missing A. I tried EXERT next which solidified the xxERT and I finally noticed the A. So, I’m finally down to AxERT. Fortunately, the L has been eliminated. AVERT is the only possibility. Moreplease.
