Anyone playing wordle?

[Patri]

Four. I thought of the right answer at three, but thought Wordle would pop in my choice on a whim. They got me.

Five. Thought I had it on four but…

Spoiler

I started out with SCRAP and only found an A. I moved the A with THANK and got it positioned correctly but nothing else. I tried BLADE next, thinking there might be an L in 2nd position and checking for an ending E. Got the L. I thought the first letter had to be F or G so I was concentrating on that and all of a sudden, I saw that LLAMA worked and thought it was a perfect wordle. It is, it just wasn’t today. The second L did help me find the answer so I could stop FLAILing around.

Three today. Struck out on my first word, struck gold on my second.

Four today, Got it narrowed down, then just had to find the right word.

Spoiler

After guess 2 I had it narrowed down to FLAIR, FLAIL, PLAID, PLAIT. So I just picked a word - PLAID. If PLAID was wrong but the P was correct than it would be PLAIT. If the P was wrong, then it would have to FLAIR or FLAIL. Either way, I would do no worse than five.

4 for me.

Another four day. Took me awhile because I tend to forget some letters can be repeated. Once I figured it out, I was like, "Well, duh!"

Five for Patti today. She is a mere mortal.

Super fast 4 today.

 

[dsmrp]

Shoot, got it in 4, but really thought I could get it in 3. It was a 50/50 chance and as usual I didn't beat the odds...

Spoiler: Little Satisfaction for the Wordle Gods today

After guess 2 my word list was STAGE, STARE, STAKE, STAVE, STATE. Too many to do them one-by-one, and if I did the mounting anxiety as I got closer would give the Wordle gods the frustration they thrive. So, time for an elimination word. I couldn't come up with a word that eliminated more than three, but I came up with GRAVE, which would catch three possibilities. If missed totally with GRAVE, I would still have two possibilities with two guesses.

As luck would have it, GRAVE gave me a hit on the G, so the answer was STAGE.

 

[Sandi Bo]

3 for me today

Spoiler

As much as I hate to, I used a burner. I was tempted to go for 2 with STAGE, since we just DANCEd. However with so many possibilities, I used the burner. Thinking STAGE, STAKE, STALE, STAVE. And I hadn't thought of STATE (seeing T_R_Oglodyte's solution). So glad I went the safe route with the burner.
No guts, no glory, ending with a safe 3.

A lucky 3 today.

 

[Patri]

Six. I was on the right track early.

["Roger"]

Four. Like Patri, I was on the right track early. I was lucky enough to guess right for the fourth letter, the one that gave Patri trouble.

Three! Either I outsmarted the gods (doubtful), or they threw me a bone today. Either way, I’ll take it.

Spoiler

I’m going to the BEACH today! I love living here. Anyway, BEACH got me the middle position A and an E needing a home. The E had to be the first or last letter. I opted to move it and try finding it’s position instead of banking those two letters and searching for five new ones. I also didn’t want to waste a search for another vowel since it was unlikely there would be a third one. I chose STALE which has some common consonants and it was a good decision. I was left with STAxE. I came up with STAGE, STAKE and STARE. I missed STAVE as TR pointed out. I probably would have used an elimination word but the only one I could think of was KEGGER and that’s too many letters. So, I prioritized and got ready for a five. STAGE was my first try, and, fortunately, the only one necessary.

All the Wordle’s a plague - and all the letters added up to 4 today.

 

[VacationForever]

Four, with 2 starter words.

Spoiler: Nothing for the Wordle gods today

After guess 2, I narrowed the options to PEACH, READY, BEACH, HEADY, HEAVY. Of those words, HEADY looked like the best guess, The worst case would be that HEADY gives a yellow H and misses on the D and Y; and that would leave just PEACH and BEACH. Any other outcome on HEADY will eliminate all but one word.

 

[Sandi Bo]

3 today! Happy Friday!

Spoiler

Thankfully I didn't think of HEAVY first or I would have gone with it, I think. No credit for thinking wisely here, just plain luck.
