Anyone playing wordle?

[dsmrp]

A 3 for me. This time I got a chance to use my oft thought of second guess.

Spoiler

I use 'X' as a placeholder for unknown letters, so placing the X between the O and I, plus my lab background , made me think of TOXIN.
Was thinking of TOXIC too, which would have been even better.

Four.

Ionic Tonic would be a good name for a band.

 

[slip]

A four turned into a five early this morning.

 

[tombanjo]

Using military precision I conquered wordle with a 3

 

[Rolltydr]

Another day, another four.

Spoiler

As I was looking at my PHONE, I realized I had never tried it as my starter, so, I did. And got the N. GRANT added the a and BLAND the L. At this point, I thought of CLANK and FLANK. FLANK steak is not my favorite but it is food so I tried it first. Another ho-hum four.

 

[Sandi Bo]

FIVE. I think I managed to cover all the unwise choices possible?

["Roger"]

Three. Almost chose a different first letter on my third try which would have turned my three into a four.

Spoiler

 

[VacationForever]

Back to four again.

Spoiler

 

[clifffaith]

Three today.

Spoiler

 

[dsmrp]

I'm on a roll of threes!
Happened to choose the right rhyme today.

Spoiler

I blanked on BLANK as an option, thinking first BLAND GLAND. FLANK steak on a cedar PLANK was more appealing. However thinking outside the grill, LOOFA was a letter fitting backstop so tipped me to my FLANK side.

FIVE. I think I managed to cover all the unwise choices possible?

Me too.

 

[slip]

A fast 4 early this morning.

 

[Sandi Bo]

FIVE for me today.

Spoiler

Didn't seem particularly difficult, brute force.. try this.. now this...

 

["Roger"]

Four. Words that end like this always take me at least one extra line.

Spoiler

 

[Rolltydr]

I broke my string of fours. Not in a good way. Five.

Spoiler

TRUCE gave me a R and U. SHRUG placed the R correctly. My cats told me to try FURRY. They’re still laughing at me. MURKY? Nope. BURLY? Finally.

 

[clifffaith]

I had one consonant in the wrong spot at the beginning, and then chewed up and spit out “good letters” twice more still leaving me with the one consonant. Then I got a vowel on my fourth try. Then I stared at it in dismay, took my walk, came back an hour later and got it on my fifth try.

[VacationForever]

FIVE for me as well.

Spoiler

 

[dsmrp]

Took me 5 too. 50/50 odds for 4th guess.

Spoiler

 

[LannyPC]

Four.

Me too.

 

[slip]

Squeaked by with a 6 early this morning.

 

[Sandi Bo]

SIX for me, as well.

Spoiler

Kind of felt like I should have thought of FROZE sooner.

 

[Rolltydr]

And another six!

Spoiler

No play by play today. Took too long to solve it. Hard to think of FROZE when it’s 100 fricking degrees!

 

[tombanjo]

I could drone on and on about who wrote this stuff, but it broke me today. X/6

 

[VacationForever]

SIX for me as well.
