Anyone playing wordle?

[Patri]

Four. Even as the house is starting to fill for our Christmas celebration.

Also a three. And very quickly for a change.

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!

I pulled a 4 out of no where today.

From a strong start, I narrowed it down each guess to a still chunky four

Wordle 547 4/6

 

[Sandi Bo]

4 for me

Even with 4 letters in my starter. Thankfully A eliminated for the 3rd position. I almost did a throw away word, but went for it.

 

[Rolltydr]

A three for me.

I was watching the ducks and egrets on the lake this morning and decided to go with a bird, settling on HERON. I filed away the E & R and went with STAMP to try and find some common consonants. A very fortuitous choice. I now had all 5 letters so I could play Jumble and Wordle! TAPER!

 

[Patri]

A quick, fun four.

Four.

Two! My first word is appropriate to the day’s events. I have 30 people arriving later, hopefully well spaced out over three hours since I have only nine places to sit.

Too many choices left me with a 5 today.

Four. I had all but the middle letter on my second word, but it took me three tries (if you count the second word) to get that middle letter.

One today. Oddly disappointing.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

A two today!

Spoiler

I decided to change my opener word from ARISE today. Mostly because there are lots of times in guess 2 where I want to hunt consonants, and having tried R and S in guess 1 made it hard for me to come up with one vowel words in guess. But I still wanted my first guess to include A, E, and I, without using an less common consonants. So for now, ALIEN is my new starter word.

Today, ALIEN gave my hits on L (in position 2) and out of position A and E. I still like S and T as consonants to check, so I opted for SLATE, as it added S and T to the guess in viable positions, while also putting the A and E in viable positions. I don't normally like double up on a green letter while I'm still hunting, but in this case SLATE hit so many other points of preference, that I decided to go with it. Fortuitously.

Hit the roof and got the lead out for a three. Which is really disappointing following the esteemed members ahead of me.

Wordle 548 3/6

 

[Rolltydr]

Woohoooo! Twooooooo!

I’m sitting in my sunroom looking at the plants on the patio so I tried PLANT. Excellent decision. LA in positions 2 & 3 plus a T out of position. However, since the T doesn’t belong in the last position and no words I know of start with TL, by default, it has to go in the fourth position, leaving me with xLATx. I deduce the last letter must be an E because I can’t think of any words that end with other letters. Since PLATE won’t work because I’ve already eliminated the P, SLATE is the only word that will fit. Quick and easy. Now what do I do with the rest of my morning?

 

[Patri]

Congrats all you twos. I was a coulda, shoulda, based on a great starter word. Alas, three for me.

[clifffaith]

FOUR. I haha’d and harrumphed loud enough at the answer to dislodge a cat from my lap. I couldn’t come up with a good starting word like I did yesterday, and so did my usual words but in reverse order. Turns out regular order could well have garnered me two twos in a row.

Another person with a two. I think this was the first time I used the opening word that I used and it had four letters all in the proper place. Wow.

You "Two"s are putting me to shame. Four here.
