Anyone playing wordle?

Everyday ! Great with a cup of coffee

Three

Spoiler: I coulda been a two!

After guess 1, was looking for a word that had O and U, as well as two of S, T, R, and C, since those are the most common remaining consonants after eliminating N and L. So SNOUT worked for that purpose. But had I not been focused on those letters I might have tried SOUND.

Not to toot my own horn, but a resounding result of three today too.

Three as well. But there were five more possibilities, so I consider myself lucky.

I am very impressed with all the threes, but also disappointed in my five.

It’s Valentines Day, so LOVER seemed appropriate. An O in second position. Next, a search for an O and some common consonants with POUTY added the U in third position. I was thinking of words ending in ND or LD, of which there are many, for my third attempt. I settled on BOUND as I thought thr first letter would be a less common one. ND ending the word leaves me with WOUND, SOUND, FOUND, HOUND and MOUND as possibilities. Three chances, five words. I try to think of an elimination word that gets me the most bang for the buck. I settle on SWAMI which, if I get nothing, only leaves F or H and I can solve it in six. Not necessary. The S in SWAMI turned green so the wordle was SOUND. I guess I need to stop thinking the Wordle will be related to any particular day or event. It seems that never works out well for me.

Struck out for the second time in a week. Took four shots at the first letter and there were still two other possibillities. Six possibilities for the first letter (presuming I haven't missed even another one.)

I struck out too. I had four greens on my second try but there were just too many possibilities and I had to guess, so I was zero-for-five from guesses 2-6.

 

[slip]

A very fast and lucky 3.

 

[dsmrp]

4 for me. I didn't play in hard mode on 3rd guess cause there were so many rhymes (7) to this one. And I likely would have bombed out going thru them.

Four, which seems to be my usual. Can't complain.

These are great examples of how hard mode comes into play when there are lot of possibilities for the letters you find early. By repeating same letters same spaces, Roger/LannyPC had a lot of alternative words with ots of letters left.

In non-hard mode, one could put completely different words in for tries 3-5 and eliminate lots of wrong letters, like Dave NV did.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three today.

Spoiler: Not much for the Wordle gods from me today.

 

[slip]

Fast but a 5 today.

 

[tombanjo]

A piquant 5 today with a single vowel to guide me at the start

Five. Almost got me. Fun!

[Rolltydr]

Five, fortunately!

Spoiler

A really bad start today with one out of position A after my first three tries. The only positive is that I had eliminated so many letters. Finally, for my fourth attempt, I I wanted to try 2 A’s and maybe a Y. The only word I could think of was ALLAY. Bingo! The L was correct in position 3 and the A’s, by process of elimination, had to go in positions 2 and 5. This left me with xALxA. SALSA! Oh wait. What about BALSA? Nope, I’m sticking with SALSA. I was very relieved to see that first tile turn green.

 

["Roger"]

Six. Took a wrong guess at the first letter. Seems to be a trend for me lately.

4 again. Not too bad after nada in 1st starter word. My 2nd to last guess was same as @Patri 's.

Spoiler

The WORDLE Gods didn't fool us with a 2 double letter word!

 

[VacationForever]

5, although not unhappy about it.

I’ll join the fives!
