Anyone playing wordle?

[Rolltydr]

Also a four.

Spoiler

I tried to shed a little LIGHT on Wordle this morning and got very little. An out of position L. Still going for consonants, I next tried SCORN and got the starting S. I wanted to see if LE ended the word and also thought SWALE just might be a good Wordle answer. It wasn’t. So, maybe the word starts SLExx. Fortunately, SLEEK, not SLEEP, was the first word I thought of.

Four, although I thought it was a wild guess.

Five today. I was eliminating letters left and right on my first three tries. By the time I got to the fourth word, there were only two possibilities left one letter different. I kept up my losing streak by choosing the wrong letter for that last entry on my first try. I am on a real roll in that regard.

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

A long 4 today.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Four today. I was sure I had it on my third guess.

Spoiler: And the Wordle gods smirked ....

After guess 2 I was sure HELIX was correct. It was the only word I could think of.

I was puzzled because I couldn't think of another word that fit given the remaining letters. Although I couldn't hear or see them, I knew the Wordle gods were smirking.

On my third pass of fitting the remaining letters in spaces 1 and 5, I realized that I was just trying consonants, and that there could be a second E, in position 5. And then BELIE was obvious.

Four. Cuz we use this word all the time.

A fair start did not indicate the difficult end.

Wordle 566 5/6

I think I would call it a solid four today (and I'll take it).

[Rolltydr]

I was fortunate to get it in 3.

We have a wind spinner on our patio and I was looking at the blades this morning so I thought I would try BLADE. I usually would shy away from B words as B isn’t as common as many other consonant, but it worked out very well today. I tried to think of a few different words to try next but I couldn’t get BIBLE out of my head. I really didn’t think that would be it but I finally gave in. I t wasn’t the answer but, now the L had to go in position 3 and the I in 4, leaving me wit BxLIE. BELIE.

Four.

Another person with a four. By the time I got to the fourth word, with the correct letters (two properly positioned and a third that could only go into one slot), there was only one word that would fit.

Me too.

I'm always worse in the morning.
5 today.

Patti got it in 4.

Three today. We are at a La Quinta in Lake Worth, TX and Cliff went to sleep at 8:30 last night after a long day of visiting with friends. I followed two hours later. At 12:15 he wakes me up telling me it’s time to get dressed for the funeral. The funeral is at 1PM Cliff, not 1AM! So of course two hours later I am still awake.

A bitter 5 I managed to squeezed out of this

Wordle 567 5/6

Two today!

Spoiler: Turning the tables on the Wordle gods

After guess 1 figured there must be another vowel, If I put the E in position 3, the L can't be in position 4 (xxELN doesn't work). If L can't be in position 4, then it would have to be in position 1, but LxExN doesn't work either. And if E goes in position 1 or 2, I can't see any way of completing a word without using another vowel.

Starting the word with LE seemed promising, and LEMON came to mind. But since I wasn't sure I was ready to switch from investigation mode to solution mode, so I thought about using LEMUR in guess 2, as that would check to see if the word began with LE, while also checking for another vowel and testing for R, a common consonant.

But then I decided to try to solve with LEMON. I could sense the gods groaning as I hit the "Enter" key, turning their LEMON into my lemonade.

Congrats to everyone, but you’d be happy with four if you used my starter word!

["Roger"]

Much the same as yesterday for me. Four, but after my third word, there was only one word that could go into the fourth position.

A quick four with my 3 starter words.

That is quite a challenging starter word!
