Hi all, I came across this article on good starting words and thought I'd give it a try. I hadn't played in a while and wouldn't you know , their starter word coincidentally gave 3 correctly positioned letters!

I should have gotten it in 2, but gosh darn it,
I didn't even consider the answer cause I didn't know how to spell it!

I can't find the spoiler tags in the UI.
I hope this works...

Four.

What kind of word is daine? Was it just a guess and you lucked out?

 

[DaveNV]

Four for me. Took a bit of rearranging letters to find the right one.

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three again.

Spoiler

Guess 1 indicated there were more vowels to be had, and POUTY tested for the remaining vowels.

Guess 2 gave me Y in position 5 and a P somewhere in slots 2, 3 and 4. APPLY popped out, and without spending anytime to work up a solution list, I decided to go with APPLY. My haste was rewarded.

 

[Sandi Bo]

Four. Again.

Spoiler

My hastiness did not pay off. I think I would have gone with AMPLY first anyways, even if I had also thought of APPLY.

I should have really paid more attention and worked harder in this situation

Wordle 541 4/6

 

[Patri]

Two. But it took me awhile.

[Rolltydr]

Five.

I opened with CRANE and found an A. Next, AUDIO got the A in correct starting position. So, I figured there‘s a good chance there’s a Y. ABYSS was the first word that came to mind and there is a Y. I think the Y probably goes in last position and I think of ALLAY and APPLY. Maybe if I APPLY myself a little harder, I can ALLAY some of these fives and get out of this ABYSS!

 

["Roger"]

Two today. Pure skill.

It appears to me that you amply thought your way to the solution.

 

[VacationForever]

Four and not easy...

[DaveNV]

Five, and kind of surprised at that. I had no idea till the letters fit.

4 today.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Four today

Spoiler

Guess 1 indicated there was at least one more vowel. Guess 2 tested other vowels, put the S in a new position, and tested for some common consonants.

After guess 2, the word had to SxOxE. There are lots of words that fit that scheme. so guess 3 was an elimination Between the hit on P and the elimination of C, H, and M, my solution list shrunk to SPOKE and SLOPE. Flip a coin if you like. I decided to go with SPOKE on a hunch.

I was too early when I said I got this in 2.

It took me five today, but I’m okay with that.

I started to try CRANE today, based on it, supposedly, being the best starter word. However, I talked myself into CRONY instead because I like Y words. And, it actually worked out as I found the O in the correct position. I used ADIEU to search the remaining vowels and added an E out of position. There are far too many words with an O and E to just start guessing. However, I feel there is a good possibility the E ends the word. Also, I want to look for some common consonants, so I use STOLE as an effort to find those, plus there is a minuscule chance that it could be the solution. It left me with SxOxE. As T_R_ said, there are many options here. Whereas he used CHAMP as his elimination word, I used WHOMP. It gave me the desired result finding a P, which could only be used to spell SPOKE.

If you’re wondering why I used WHOMP, I had identified SWOLE and SWOPE as possibilities but I didn’t know if they were in the Wordle list of acceptable words and I didn’t want to test them. WHOMP allowed me to check for the W but, also, H, M & P which was critical to identifying all potential solutions with one word.

Well at least you didn't need six like I did today.
