Anyone playing wordle?

I like your third word. One which I rarely come across anymore.

Take Five today.

Spoiler

After guess 3 the only words I could think of were POLAR and MOLAR. I chose poorly.

I like your third word. One which I rarely come across anymore.

One of my nicknames for my son. Maybe because his name is Matthew - going with the M? My poor children, the names I called them as they were playing sports.

 

[Sandi Bo]

Three for me! I truly fly by the seat of my pants after using my usual starter, and today the words came easy. Never know.

Wordle 559 6/6

 

[slip]

A very fast 4 today.

 

[Rolltydr]

A fast four for me, also.

Spoiler

LIGHT found an L out of position. SPEND spent five letters. MAYOR, which popped into my head out of nowhere, was the penultimate guess yielding the starting M, ending R, plus an A and O to go with the L. MOLAR is the word.

Two. Lucky first word.

Six today. My usual problem. I had all but the first letter on the fourth line, but it took me three tries to get the correct first letter. I don't know why, but whenever I am in this situation, I am always guessing wrong on a single missing letter.

Me too.

Tricky word, since I had all five letters at two, but arranged them wrong at three. Rearranged and got it in four.

Same here. I had the same problem. Too many choices for that elusive first letter!

Wordle 560 5/6

I joined TR with a two. I almost fell out of my chair.

Today is one of my favorite sports days of the year with wall to wall college football. So, I tried SPORT and was not rewarded in any way. So, I wanted to try something with one vowel, M/N, and maybe incorporate Y, somehow. The word MANLY popped into my head for some reason. I was almost laughing because it’s a word I would only use jokingly, and something that my daughter would never accuse me of being. When the green tiles started turning, my jaw dropped open. Unbelievable! But, I’ll take it!

 

["Roger"]

Four today. Nothing special. Pretty ordinary day.

[Patri]

Spoiler: ¡Prospero año nuevo a todos!

With the New Years ball having dropped, I thought that Wordle might use a more New Years themed word today. So after some thought to find what might be a suitable word, and came up with PARTY. Which fell flat - I hope it's not an omen for the year.

NOISE was just looking for vowels. It turned out to be a good try - after catching I and E in position, with the eliminated letters, the only remaining words I could come up with were WHINE and KNIFE. I went with WHINE because under NY Times curation, WORDLE seems to avoid words that tinge of topics such as sex, violence, disability, discrimination, etc.

And so much for the thought they might use a word connected to a holiday. Unless WHINE is in there as a pun.

I wanted find a whiny music video to include, but I didn't like anything that came up with WHINE or WHINY in the title. So I thought back to my youth, and was there a TOP 40 song I thought of as WHINY? I first thought of Roy Orbison's "Mean Woman Blues", but he isn't really whining. "Hit the Road Jack" was also a thought, but didn't really hit the mark. Then it came to me - "Tell Laura I Love Her". Even as a 10-yr old, I knew this was nothing but terrible, whiny dreck. Don't click on the link unless you have a streak of morbid curiosity that needs slaking.
