Interesting article, to me at least. We’ve discussed this here before. I’m in the camp with those who like to go with the first word that pops into my head. And, sometimes, take a wild guess. Others have their favorite words and use the same ones almost every day. I have some favorites that I come back to, occasionally and in certain situations, but using them every day isn’t fun to me. I love surprises. I like to approach Wordle differently every day.

A fast 4 today.

 

[mauitraveler]

I can't believe it. 3 tries for me today! Usually it takes me 4 or 5!

 

[DaveNV]

Hilarious. Took me five, but I had all the letters at four. Switcheroo, and it was good to go. I'll take it.

Four again.

Unlike a couple of days ago, when it came down to two options, I chose wisely.

Spoiler: You have chosen wisely

After guess 2, I'm looking at xROxE. There are many words that fit that pattern, so I thought the best way to narrow things down was to focus on finding the letter in position 4. I came up with PAVED, because that tested for xROPE, xROVE, and xRODE. I also wanted to look for N, to match xRONE, but I couldn't come with a word that used all of those letters. PAVED gave me three of the four letteres I was after.

PAVED didn't solve the fourth position, but it fortuitously gave me the P in position 1. P in position 1 reduced my list to PROBE and PRONE. I tried PROBE, and unlike a couple of days ago, this time I chose wisely.

BTW- in the clip I scarcely notice John Williams' musical score unless I'm specifically listening to it - it fits in so seamlessly, while also heightening the drama. So masterful!

Three. Kind of unbelievable.

It would take no prodding to admit saying I could do this lying down would be a lie.

Four. Toughie. I only had one letter after two entries.

Yeah, I needed all six today too.

 

[VacationForever]

Four and quick.

[Rolltydr]

Another four.

My cats were PERCHed in their cat tree this morning so that’s where my starter word came from. Pretty good haul with the starting P plus an E & R. I thought PAPER almost immediately. I briefly debated attempting to solve vs searching for more letters. I decided to go with my hunch but all it did was narrow down the positions for the E & R. I thought of PRINT and PRESS and a few others so I decided to use an elimination word. I chose STEIN and ruled out many of the words that had crossed my mind. Now, I was looking at PRxxE or PxxRE. PROBE was the first word I saw that fit so I went with it.

 

[clifffaith]

Four today, although I considered it as a possibility for my third try but chose unwisely.

Spoiler

 

[Sandi Bo]

4, pretty quickly once I focused. Could easily have been a 5 after seeing Faith's post - had your #3 come to me first (it did not), I would have chosen unwisely and been a 5.

Spoiler

 

[VacationForever]

Yeah, I didn't think there were 2 other options that I could have gone with when I typed in #4.

 

[DaveNV]

Six for me. And surprised to have that. Wrong guesses wasted the count.

4 today, not bad.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three this morning.

Spoiler

After guess 2, my options were FJORD, CHORD, and SWORD.

Since NY Times bought Wordle, they've "sanitized" the solution list to exclude words that might offend someone, somewhere in the universe So I decided that SWORD would be too violent and war-like for NYT sensibilities. That left me with FJORD and CHORD. I went with CHORD.

3 and laughing (a little) at myself to start my day

Spoiler

I do this too often - was pronouncing the CH as a 'cha' and so it took and extra couple run throughs of the brain to realize 'KORD' works. When I typed CHORD the light bulb came on.

 

[tombanjo]

I managed to strike the right note today with a three.

[Rolltydr]

Also a three. And very quickly for a change.

Spoiler

It’s a beautiful, but cool, morning here in Northeast Florida. The skies are CLEAR, so I opened with that. For the third day in a row, I got the first letter, C, in the right position. Also, an R. CROWD came to mind immediately. I briefly tried to talk myself out of using a word with W this soon, but I didn’t listen to myself, luckily. No W, but otherwise, I hit the jackpot, leaving me with CxORD. I struck the right CHORD!

 

["Roger"]

Five. Brain fog. Should have had in four. I knew the fourth word was wrong in that it used a discarded letter, but given what I put down, I should have seen the correct answer.

[VacationForever]

Three today. First 2 starter words did it for me.

[clifffaith]

Four today.
