Anyone playing wordle?

I suck at this. Five for me, and I feel lucky at that.

Whoa, Got it on 3 today!
Could easily have been 4.

Spoiler

I had r/o the 'r' so it wasn't 'raise'.
Good thing I didn't think of 'waive'.
All that I could come up with was maize.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

An unremarkable 5 today.

Spoiler

After guess 3, three options; BEECH; BEEFY; WEEDY.

 

[philemer]

Quick four. It is all about the starter words...

My yesterday score doubled to a thick and juicy 4

Two, and I am shocked.

[Sandi Bo]

Very impressed with ya'll - especially your 2 @Patri.
Solid FIVE here.

Four today. Must of been half asleep in that I did not move the only correct letter (but misplaced) from my first two words until the fourth try. Bonehead!

[Rolltydr]

The strangest four I’ve ever had. But I’ll take it.

Spoiler

Instead of water fowl, I started with HORSE and got an out of position E. Then, I tried PLANT and got nothing, I wanted to try U and I, possibly Y next but was having trouble pairing them with available consonants. I finally went with QUICK. Zilch! I search my available options for a few minutes and I finally decide to try 2 E’s and the Y. I have 2 options. BEEFY or WEEDY. I really don’t like either but decide to try BEEFY. Unbeleefable!

You folks are good. I ended with five and was wondering if I was going to bomb out. I guess I need to eat less chicken.

Me too.

 

[DaveNV]

I also got it in 5.

Only one letter after three guesses, so I took a wild stab at it, and got little new on the fourth guess. I sat there and tried every remaining letter, looking for a letter combination that sounded like a real word. Finally hit on it. Duh... Have I mentioned I suck at this game? LOL!

Four

Spoiler: Another January meh day with the Wordle gods

Straightforward today. POUTY is my usual guess 2 when there aren't any hits with ALIEN.

The xOxxY pattern has lots of solutions, many of which are xOOxY. So for guess 3 I was looking for a word that had an O in position 3, with as many unused consonants as possible in other locations. SWORD completed the puzzle. The W needed to be in position 1, so I needed to complete WOxRY.

 

[DaveNV]

Four for me as well.

[Sandi Bo]

3 for me today.

Spoiler

A lazy 3 at that. I was going to look for that MIT starter word and give it a whirl and decided, nah, tomorrow maybe. So went with my usual and then didn't think any more than I had to. A little luck and laziness paid off this morning.

 

[tombanjo]

I was afraid it was going nowhere. But relived with a 4 in the end.

Wordle 587 4/6





I just noticed Mr Oglodyte and myself had a very similar beginning (Struck out on same first word, then test vowels next)

 

[Patri]

I bombed. My streak of 103 is over. I won’t worry about it, though. Tomorrow is another day!

Spoiler

 

[tombanjo]

Patri -you know it couldn’t be a word with two of the same letters you kept using ? you would have both green (or yellow) if the word had two.

 

[Rolltydr]

I’ll proudly join the group of fours.

Spoiler

I was looking out at my PATIO this morning and realized it has been awhile since I started by searching for vowels so I gave it a try. An out of position O. I went with ROUND next and got the O in correct position and found an R. I then wanted to check for the E and tried HORSE, getting the R correct and being left with xORxx. WORRY was the first word I thought of but I briefly tried to think of others. My wife and daughter always tell me I worry too much. I worried that if I tried it, it would be wrong. And, I worried that if I didn’t try it, it would be the solution. I couldn’t think of anything better so I finally entered WORRY and now I’m not worried any more!

 

["Roger"]

The fours have it today. no letters on my first entry and only one after two. That is not necessarily the worst thing in that your options for a correct word slim down as you eliminate a lot of letters.

[VacationForever]

Four and felt that it could have been worse.

I bombed. My streak of 103 is over. I won’t worry about it, though. Tomorrow is another day!

This is when I find that using an additional starter word(s) help when not enough greens and oranges have show up in my initial starter words.
