Anyone playing wordle?

[rickandcindy23]

Took me four today, Rick got it 2. I usually play the same four words. Today I tried something different for the first word. Had I tried my usual words, I would have gotten it much sooner.

 

[LannyPC]

I got today's in three tries!

 

[clifffaith]

Three for me. Glad I said adieu to adieu and switched to consonant heavy first words.

Three for me. Glad I said adieu to adieu and switched to consonant heavy first words.

Wait, you have a set of go-to first words? I have much to learn!

Just started playing and it is definitely addictive!
Why is everybody’s graphic different? And why is DaveNV’s only gray?

I get the same gray squares as @DaveNV,
cause I'm playing on my phone instead of laptop. Even when I copy/paste into a intermediary email, it still comes out as gray squares in the TUGBBS interface.

4 tries for me today. I chose the wrong combo & placement of those consonants.
I also started with a weird word "ester" ,
Just to change it up.

There are a number of starting words people like. Other people use a random word that comes to mind on the day.

I like using two specific starting words: ADIEU and STORY. On a good day I can select (or eliminate) all five vowels, four common consonants, and the letter Y. That often gives me a good head start on things.

Today it gave me four letters (in the wrong order). I solved the Wordle on the third word today. So sometimes it works.

I use PLANK and SHIFT a lot.

 

[Rolltydr]

Took all 6 for me today. My brain just wasn’t rearranging the letters correctly. I had to use a throwaway word on my fifth try to ooint me in the right direction.

 

[Mister Sir]

Took me 6 as well today. I was afraid I might have my first loss.

 

[rickandcindy23]

Took four for me, five for Rick.

 

[bizaro86]

Took four for me, five for Rick.

I was a bit disappointed with my 5 today until I heard that was tied with Rick!

 

[clifffaith]

I took all six. Cliff didn’t get it today.

[dsmrp]

I took a WAG, and got in 3!
I was trying to rule out a consonant,
and confirm a vowel, expecting the word to be wrong.

I think these word guesses depends on your background, & words that come to mind when trying to fit the known letters into a
cohesive word.

Tough word, took all the guesses

 

[Rolltydr]

Same!

 

[clifffaith]

Ditto. And I honestly expected to be told “not a valid word” because I thought that word actually had to have a sixth letter to be correct.

 

[Rolltydr]

Yeah, I can't say that I ever remember actually using the word, either verbally or written. Obviously, I've heard it but it's definitely not a word one uses often. I'm not complaining. It's a valid word and it just took a while for some of us to get it.

 

[Patri]

I’m in good company today, I see. It was tough.

[dsmrp]

5/6 for me. Would have been 6 or missed it, if I hadn't changed my approach a little based on the 'toughness' the others posted.

 

[tombanjo]

With 4 letters in a row known, I thought it would be simple. But nope

This is not photoshopped!

 

[bizaro86]

I got it in 2 today as well, but I had 4 letters after my first guess (and got lucky on guess #2 as I believe there were 3 possibilities for letter #5)
