Anyone playing wordle?

I had to sit down suddenly once I went from zero to solved in three today.

Three here, too!

I doubled my two from yeasterday.

I was trying to think of T words this morning and ended up with TRIBE which includes four often used letters and a B which is less so. None of them were used today. Next, CANDY revealed a N out of position. I thought maybe the NK or KN combination was in play. I finally settled on KNOWN which ruled out KN and left me thinking the correct patter was xxUNK. I had three possibilities, FLUNK, PLUNK or SLUNK. I went with PLUNK and did not flunk.

Four. I am on a total roll with my starter words. No hits again. This time, none on my second word either. Remarkably, I almost got it on my third entry (fourth letter wrong), which allowed me to finish off in four.

Hmmm. Very interesting that after your first two tries struck out, your third word closely rhymes with a certain four letter word.

Me too.

Spoiler: Poor Cliff!

After hitting Wordle in one try a few weeks ago when his regular starter word PLANK was the puzzle solution, he now chooses a random word to start. So it took him four tries today. I warned him that PLINK and PLONK could come up too!

Four

Another 4, but I'll take it!
DH chose the starter word today which wasn't very good LOL, only one out of place letter.

Spoiler

I still had another choice PLUMP, but went with the 'K' containing word. PLUNK is more slangy IMO.

A 3 out of no where.

TWO!!!!! HAHAHHAHAAHAHA!! This is giving me a ridiculous very false sense of security.

New game in beta stage at the NYTimes. You can click from the article below to give it a try. Like the author of the article, my first shot at the game did not go well.

Interesting. I got two groups right, but struck out on the other two. After seeing the answers, it made a lot more sense. I'd play it again.

Four.

I got two right off the bat. Not the others. Yes, I would play it again.

I got all 4. I didn't understand the last group, and had to google homophone (after getting it correct, lol). Only got it right because those were the only 4 words left. Fun, yes, I would play again.

Rhyming word Wordles should be illegal

Four. (As for Connections, if you got three right, you would automatically have four right. Right?)

This is my third deuce in the past week. The gods are setting me up for a humiliating fall!

Spoiler

I was trying to change my letter pattern up this morning and get back to searching for consonants. I thought of CHILD and went with it. The C in first and I in third position actually narrowed down the possibilities quite nicely. I couldn think of any words where another vowel would fit in second position. The L and H were already off the table, so it almost certainly had to be R, leaving me with CRIxx. In the heat of the moment, I could only think of CRIME and CRIMP. I settled on CRIME and was correct. I just thought of CRICK and CRISP. I’m glad I didn’t think of them sooner or I probably would have went with one or both of those before CRIME.

 

["Roger"]

Three. Broke my string of striking out completely on my first word.

Spoiler

On a different topic, I completed "Connections" very quickly today. That having been said, there is no way that I would have drawn the connection between the four words left at the end (the hardest grouping). I only got it because they were the four words left. If they want to make the game harder, they should throw in four completely unconnected words so you don't get the last entry by default.

A lucky FOUR!

Are there casinos close by? I am not a gambler, however, would definitely be tempted at this point to find one. Maybe put all your money on 2 at the roulette table. I googled to check, that would a black 2 for you!

Spoiler

You could let us know if CRIME pays?

FOUR! That's my lucky streak

Five after a great starter word. Too many darn rhymes. DH got lucky and got a 3.
