A long 4 today.

looks like the wordle graphics work now?

Four again.

Spoiler

After guess 2, I figured the word was STUxx. My solution list had 7 words:

• STUCK
• STUDY
• STUNG
• STUNT
• STUMP
• STUNK
• STUFF

That's too many possibilities to start guessing one-by-one, so I looked for an elimination word. I couldn't find one that would rule out all of the possibilities, but PUNKY was almost as good - it worked in all cases except STUNG and STUNT (the situation where PUNKY gave a hit on N only), so then I would have narrowed it down to two options with two remaining guesses.

PUNKY did give me a hit on Y, and STUDY was the only option that had a Y.

Note to players - the spoiler tag tool is in a new location. It's now a dropdown below the three dots at the right side of the toolbar. See figure below.

4 for me today

Finding only ST was ominous, thinking there are many possibilities, but it wasn't so bad. I'll take a 4.

Four is popular today. Why the spoiler change? Thanks for the instructions but obviously didn’t work for me, and I can’t delete the box.

 

[Rolltydr]

Three.

Spoiler

Since I haven’t had much luck searching for consonants the past few days, I switched to vowels. I started with AUDIO and found U & D out of position. I decided to search for an E to complete the common vowels and search for more consonants instead of moving the U & D to new positions. That turned out to be a very smart (lucky) move on my part. I used STERN and got the ST as the starting letters. STUDY jumped out at me. I gave about 5 seconds of thought to other options. Nothing came to mind so STUDY it was.

Interestingly, I had dismissed the idea of using the Y in my second word because I didn’t think there were many 5 letter words containing Y with U & D. Fortunately, it didn’t come back to bite me.

Three today. Unlike yesterday, it went quickly.

Four. Doesn’t work for me either. I have three sets of three dots, found spoiler under the middle dots, but doesn’t appear to work.

 

[VacationForever]

Three and quick.

I notice the Reply screen shows a graphic version of the quoted comment, too. No more HTML code. Did you guys change something behind the scenes?

Strange, when I reply to your post, I see the SPOILER tags. Do you not see them when you select spoiler under the second set of vertical dots? It looks like you should have.

A fast 3 today.

I see them also. The spoiler box doesn't show in the post because there isn't anything entered between the tags.

This evening I see a semi-gray tag over my tiny spoiler photo. I touched it and it hid the puzzle and made it look like it used to.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

another four today. This was interesting and fun.

Spoiler

Guess 1 was my standard opening, yielding only an unlocated E. Guess 2 is a word I often use in this situations, because it puts the E in a new location, while checking for two more vowels and a couple of common consonants. PEONY works equally well in this circumstance.

After guess 2 locked an E in position 1, I concluded that there had to be another vowel in the middle of the word, and the only possibilities were a U or another E. If I could find a word that had a U and four unused consonants, I figured that would the best option. If I missed on the U, then I would know there was another E, almost certainly in position 3 and 4. If the U was a hit, then most like the U would be in position 3 or 4. After a bit of noodling and doodling, I finally landed on DUTCH

DUTCH was a winner, locking a C in position 4 and adding a T. The only place I could see to put the T was in position 5, which meant that the second E would need to be in position 3. So I was looking at ExECT, which narrowed things down to EJECT and ELECT. I had a hunch and decided to try EJECT.

Four for me, again, as well.

A quick three for me today.

Spoiler

Today is a special day for us (DW and I) so I started with HEART. I found an E and the ending T. I considered using an elimination word here but that ending T was too enticing. I thought of using EJECT, ERECT or ELECT but I didn’t want to limit my letters with the two E’s this soon. I decided to try EDICT My initial hunch had been correct. Now, I had to decide between the three. I decided my order of priority would be EJECT, ELECT and then ERECT, if necessary. The last two weren’t necessary.

Five. The spoiler worked, but is more difficult than the old way. The tab for thumbnail/full image is tiny. The insert button is tiny. I didn’t even see it yesterday.
