Anyone playing wordle?

Having nothing for the first word was not a good start

Took me 4.

Four tries today. I really thought I had it on the third try. My second try had the second, third, and last letter correct. For my third try, I put in a much more common word than the final solution, but it was wrong.

Looking at @Rolltydr 's picture, I bet my bottom dollar that I know which letter he had for the fourth letter on his third try. Again, a much more common word than the final solution.

If you know me, it wouldn't be too hard to figure out!

Lol. I had that word (a more fun 4th letter) for my last wrong guess as well.

Although it took me 5 in total.

Three today. Hit two letters on the random first word that popped into my head, so that got me off to a good start.

Took me all six. Rick got it in 5. Stupid word.

Me too, I guessed the more common word on my 3rd try.

3 for me also!

Took me all six tries to get there today.After the fifth try I had three greens and the yellow could only go in the first spot, so I had four out five places filled. Fortunately, there was only letter that could complete the word, so I didn't have to make a guess.

This doesn't look like the best strategy to complete in the fewest attempts. It looks like lines three through five were just attempts to get additional letters without using words that fit the already identified letters?

Nothing wrong with “throw away words” to try to narrow the possibilities down!

There were two answers again today. They changed the original Wordle word early this morning (due to current events).

I use them sometimes, but I thought it was odd to do that three times in a row, especially on #5. That's a pretty big gamble.

There were too may possible words that would fit to start guessing randomly. It took a few tries, but I pared it down to only one choice.

I used the same strategy today. In this case, my second guess gave me three greens, and there were few enough remaining options that I could proceed to solve without risking running out of guesses. That hit on two more letters in the second guess is a bit of good luck, though in my second guess I always make sure that I'm drawing from the most used consonants.

 

[rickandcindy23]

Got it in 3 today, so did Rick.

 

[tombanjo]

A rather tough one for me, but, done in 6. A dearth of consonants and the same two vowels made this hard.

Six for me, also.



Tough, but fair.

Six for me, also.
Tough, but fair.

Six as well. I was getting scared.

Yup a hard one today.
My 4th try was a throwaway to just get some other letters.

 

["Roger"]

Fourth try, but I agree that today's was a real toughie. I took a chance on my fourth try and it turned out to be right.

 

[rickandcindy23]

Took me four, took Rick five. He usually gets it quicker. I spent a lot of time looking at the letters I had after that third attempt. Really tough today.
