Anyone playing wordle?

[Patri]

Six. Tough one.

["Roger"]

An undistiguished five. Getting ready for a trip. Must have been that my mind was elsewhere (or not).

[Rolltydr]

I drained a trey!

Spoiler

I opened with SPENT and got the starting S. The bright sun is shining in my face so SOLAR was a logical second word and got an L and R. Initially, It took me a minute to run through my available letters because I thought the L had to be either the second or last letter. However, when I came up with SURLY, I was pretty sure that was it.

 

[VacationForever]

I did it in THREE!

[clifffaith]

Five today.

Spoiler

 

[dsmrp]

A can't believe 3 today!!
I was aiming for a 4, 5, 6 after striking out on 1st word.

Spoiler

After yesterday's BLAME, I could see the WORDLE Gods feeling a little surly. (TBH, I was just hunting for letters)

My other choice was FUSSY.
Initially nothing came to mind when I looked at SUxxx pattern, so I looked at double S words. Glad I took a 2nd look at SUxxx words.

TWO for Tuesday for me It took me a few minutes.

Spoiler

I could not think of another word following my go to starter of STARE. I feel a bit boring using the same starter word everyday, but it paid off for me today. @Rolltdr I am very impressed with your creative themed approach -- and yet, I haven't ventured away from my go to.

Me too.

A lucky 3 today. I had a few left and guessed right.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Four today

Spoiler

 

[Sandi Bo]

THREE for me.

Spoiler

This could have gotten pretty ugly, but I went with my first guess. I guess you could say I chose wisely.
I was feeling pretty smart yesterday until my brother pointed out there were 46 possible solutions after my starter pick. Has anyone seen SCOREDLE.COM? Don't mis-spell it - note the 2 E's in SCOREDLE (I left out an E and got a scumbag hijack of some sort with a link for a nasty virus or something). Anyways, thinking I had no other options but SURLY after my starter of STARE, my brother pointed out there were 46 possibilities (of which not all look like WORDLE would be so cruel as to choose - however there were some nice options I had not thought about). I did choose wisely after all, lol.

Today

Yesterday's

 

[slip]

This mornings 3 turned into a 4.

 

[Patri]

Six again! Eeek.

Spoiler

 

[Rolltydr]

I’m happy with a four after a terrible start.

Spoiler

I was trying to think of a good starter word this morning and all of a sudden, my eyes landed on a beautiful coral colored bloom on one of my wife’s plants. I would tell you what plant but she’s the gardener and I have no idea. So, CORAL, while beautiful, got absolutely nothing. Now, I was surveying my keyboard for answers and the words FAINT and FEIGN came to mind. I decided on FEIGN and only found an out of position E. Sheesh! I scan my keyboard again and decide I have to find some letters so I use my next guess searching for the remaining vowel and 4 common consonants. STUMP turns up the starting S and ending P. The first two words I think of are SWEEP and SHEEP. I decided on SWEEP and it swept away my temporary misery.

 

[LannyPC]

Six again! Eeek.

Now I don't feel so bad about needing five.

 

[VacationForever]

Four and certainly feeling a little lucky.

Spoiler

 

[clifffaith]

Three today

[DaveNV]

Three. I feel lucky.

[Patri]

Five. Same old problem.

Spoiler

 

[Sandi Bo]

FIVE for me, too!

Spoiler

Oh the possibilities. I knew my sister bombed out so thought things out a bit more as I solved it. Also a great day for a burner, but I just, just hate them, so went for it. I could think of WIDER, CIDER, and RIDER after DINER so figured I could do it. Phew...

 

[dsmrp]

4 for me.

Spoiler

A 50/50 choice today sigh..

 

[Rolltydr]

More coffee, please. I used all 6 after a brain fart with my second guess and going for a kitchen utensil instead of a beverage for the fifth. Actually, forget the coffee and give me a fifth of bourbon, please.

Spoiler

The NYTimes mini crossword had ORBIT as one of its’ words this morning and I thought it would be a good starter. Got the I and R out of position. Next, I was going to enter SPIRE but for some reason my brain, or those pesky gods, told me SPIKE would be better and I didn’t think it through. So, I added an E but missed a chance to move the R. I wanted to try the R in first position and thought of RIVER and RIVEN. I went with the latter and got the I and E in their homes. When I get to this point, I usually just start looking at my keyboard to see what letters are available and try things as I get to them. LIFER was the first word I saw and it seemed like a decent wordle so I tried it. Got the R in position. Next, I saw DICER and didn’t even think of CIDER until the D and C blocks turned yellow. Fortunately, I was out of options and couldn’t miss with my last try. Tough morning.

 

[VacationForever]

Four. Could have been 3 or could have been worse.

Spoiler

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

two for tea today.

Spoiler

Actually, two for cider. But we can make it hot cider.

After guess 1 i thought it had to be RIDER, CIDER, or WIDER. Enough remaining guesses to not need an elimination word. Strictly on whim, I decided to do CIDER first.
