Anyone playing wordle?

[Patri]

A fast four. My second word got me on the right track, but of course, then there were the multiple choices.

Five. Struggled trying to place what was eventually the third letter. By the time I got to the fifth line, only one word would fit.

[Rolltydr]

Four.

Going to Animal Kingdom today and expect to see a CAMEL ow two. The gods were not impressed, only revealing an E out of position. I tried PIOUS next to flush out more vowels and found an out of position O and S. For my third attempt, I had a minor brain fart, leaving the O in position 3. SHORE finally got an ending E and added an R. After playing musical word chairs for a couple minutes, I finally got WORSE, which was good.

Five.

Clung can be a little clingy.

4 for me. Could have had it in 3, but it was 50/50 and so worst I could do was 4

Spoiler

Could have been worse tho I picked horse.

Should have been 4 but became a 5.

 

[DaveNV]

You could have had a 5 like me, LOL

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

three for me

Spoiler

I switched from ALIEN to AIDER as a starter word so that right away I could find out if a the solution ended in ER, since the xxxER pattern is one of the toughest to solve.

Today, that gave me E and R, but out of position. So for guess 2 I was looking to put the E and R in new positions. HORSE looked like a good choice, since it put the E and R in new positions, tested for two new common consonants, and added O as a new vowel.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three again

Spoiler

After guess 2 I came up with the following list of solutions: PATTY, PAGAN, TOPAZ, KAPPA, PAPAL, HAPPY, POLKA. Of those POLKA looked like the best guess as an elimination word, because it checked for P in position 1, looked for O as a new vowel, tested for L and K, and looked for A in a new position.

POLKA didn't just eliminate, it solved.

A fast 4 today.

Roll out the beer barrel for high five

Wordle 619 5/6

 

[Sandi Bo]

5 for me today.

Spoiler

I wanted to use P sooner but it just wasn't coming to me.

 

[Patri]

Five. Finally there was only one place left for that L to go.

Spoiler

 

[Rolltydr]

Easy threesy.

Spoiler

I’m at Bonnet Creek this week in Tower 6 with the HOTEL next door. That helped me find the O in second position and an L. I moved the L and checked a couple of common consonants and more vowels with SOLAR. It was a very fortuitous choice. That got the L in correct third position and found an A out of position, but could only be the ending letter. I was left with xOLxA. POLKA was the only word I could make.

 

["Roger"]

Four. A bit like Patri in that I had a hard time placing the single letter that was correct in my opening word (but it was a different letter than what Patri struggled with).

Question: I know that Wordle never has words that are simply a plural of a four letter word where one adds an "s." Is the same true that it never includes past tense words where one simply adds a "d" to a four letter word? I have been avoiding "-ed" endings and forgot about that in my second entry.

 

[dsmrp]

4 for me. I didn't think the answer was the answer, but i couldn't think of anything else that would fit the 2 letters I had in position.

[clifffaith]

TWO!

Six today and feeling like a total failure.

I've always assumed past tense xxxED words based on three letter verb roots are in play - PRIED, FRIED, TRIED, PARED, FARED, etc.
