Anyone playing wordle?

[Sandi Bo]

I feel lucky with 3 today.

Spoiler

I didn't put a lot of thought into this. And got a very bad feeling when I saw SPXXE thinking there must be many possibilities. But SPOKE came to mind quickly and went with it. But I guess not, lol, putting more thought into it after the fact - SPORE - and I'd already eliminated R.

A quick two for me today! I have the flu and my brain did not work for the NAIVE and APPLY puzzles, in fact I just cheated and got the answers from TUG.

Because you have the flu, we will let this slide.

Cheated from TUG?

A very fast 3 today.

Four

[Patri]

Four. Aaack!

[Sandi Bo]

@Patri - I totally agree - Aaack! 4 and I'll take it and get on with my day.

Spoiler

From a minute or so yesterday to forever today (came back to it a few times). I even used a throw away word (ASPEN) to pin down the A and S positions. Geesh!!!

Four. Somewhat of a struggle for me today.

Spoiler

 

[Rolltydr]

Wow! Another four.

Spoiler

Again, searching for consonants and/or a Y, I opened with PHONY. I ruled out those 5 letters. Next, I tried TRAIL and got the ending L plus an A. I wanted to search for U and E, plus a couple more common consonants and decided to use an elimination word to do so. I camed up with CLUED and it worked well for me, uncovering a U in third position. So, I’m almost certainly looking at xxUAL. I got my USUAL 4.

Four... nothing to see here...

A not ordinary word, was pretty tough trying to fit my letters.

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

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Four again. 50:50 chance at guess 3, and I chose poorly.

Spoiler: He chose poorly

After Guess 2, it was down to VIRAL and RIVAL. At guess 3, I chose poorly.

 

[Sandi Bo]

5 for me today

Spoiler

Yeah... should have had it in 4 anyways. Pretty much figured it had to be RIxAx but it just wasn't coming me to me today. I wasn't sure RUBAN was even a word, too bad it is. Looking in the dictionary, it just barely is.

 

[tombanjo]

A 6 is no competition for a top score, but not quite dog food.

Wordle 544 6/6

 

[Patri]

Three. Happy dance.

Spoiler

 

[Rolltydr]

I tied Patri.

Spoiler

I debated between THYME and RHYME as my starter this morning. Fortunately, I chose RHYME which got me the starting R. Next, I went for vowels with RATIO and added an A and I out of position. Since the A didn’t belong in position 2, I felt pretty certain the I did. Also, since I couldn’t immediately think of any 5 letter words that begin RIA and not many words of any length end in A, I was sure the A belonged in position 4. So, I was looking for RIxAx. RIVAL was the first word I thought of and, fortunately, I stopped thinking at that point.

 

[LannyPC]

Four again.

Me too.

 

[clifffaith]

Five

["Roger"]

Four. Comment in the spoiler.

Spoiler

I thought my second word was inspired, but when it turned out to be wrong, I had a hard time coming up with any words that didn't use one of the eliminated letters. April was rejected as a proper noun. Alarm used an M which had been eliminated. Etc.

To be honest, I didn't think my third entry was even a word, but it was accepted and finally allowed me to work out the solution. At that point, there was only one place that the R and the A could be, and the only letter that could come after the R was an I. From there the solution was obvious.

 

[VacationForever]

Four. The usual 3 starter words did it for me.
