Anyone playing wordle?

Second day in a row, five tries. I have had good runs before, but the law of averages is apparently catching up with me.

Patri, I use an iPad and I can use the dropdown for the spoiler tag. Are you not seeing the task bar at the top of the message box Like in the photo below?

Yes, but the entire bar is muted. It doesn’t react to tapping any action. Maybe it is my browser.

Hmmm. It could be but I don’t know what to look for. I use Safari on an iPad Air 4th generation. Hopefully, someone else can respond and help you get it fixed.

It must be genetic, I can guess so many words that aren’t it before I get it in 5

3 for me...could have had it in 2 in a couple of ways (sigh)...

Spoiler

I chose the most uncommon word of the 3
( + trail) for 2nd guess, but was wrong again
One of my starter words is 'train',
and I mixed it up today to start with stain instead.

That was nice jump to solve on 3.

Five for me. Usually after a guess such as my second, where there are three are more solutions, I use a test word to eliminate or identify missing letters. This time I just decided to guess and it cost me,

An inauspicious start left me wide of the mark, but managed to wrap it up in 5

Too many choices for that last letter. Took me 5 today.

Four. A fun one.

Very much like Rolltydr, I was close early on, but too many choices to finish it off. Third day in a row, it took me five.

5 for me too. I started off with an uncommon word just to test the vowel combo.

Took me 4 today.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Five for me today.

Spoiler

After the second guess I know that i was the only vowel and that it could not be in position 3. So there were three options:

1. a word with only one i, in position 2 and an r somewhere. such as birch.
2. a word with only one i, in position 4, and an r somewhere, such as strip or scrip.
3. a word two i's, in positions 2 and 4, such as limit

I decided #1 was most likely, and I tried "birch". That narrowed things down greatly, since the only letter that could be in position 4 was "t", meaning the word ended had to be "_irth". The remaining options were firth, girth, and mirth. My fourth guess, "flame" identified which of those three Since "f" and "m" came up blank, the word had to be girth.

 

[Rolltydr]

A hard one for me today. I got the same 3 letters in the wrong positions my first 3 tries. That’s hard to do!

Spoiler

I have no idea why INLET popped into my head but I went with it and felt good about getting 3 letters, I, E, T, albeit in the wrong positions. I started to go with trite but decided against the double letters this early and went with TRIBE instead. Same 3 letters in different, but still wrong positions. Moving on, let’s see if E is in the first position and I came up with ETHIC. I can’t believe this. All 3 letters are still in the wrong position. I hesitate to use a plural as I remember someone up the thread stating they didn’t remember any being used. But, I’m running out of options and I think the IET have to be in the middle and I have to figure out the first and last letter. Also, I need to lose some weight so DIETS seemed like a good choice. Finally, the 3 letters in the right positions. PIETY! At this point, I was a little peeved at myself because pious is one of my favorite starter words. I guess I shouldn’t be feeling too pious today!

 

[tombanjo]

I am truly blessed to get this in 4.

Three today. Took quite a bit of finagling to get it. I much prefer Wordplay’s ability to type a random letter into the middle of the word to help with moving letters around, rather than all letters having to type left to right requiring the use of an X as a placeholder.

Four today. Not super, but after a couple of days with five, I'll take it.

[bizaro86]

Six today for me. I was pretty concerned after 4...

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three for me today. Some luck involving the consonants eliminated in the first two guesses.

Spoiler

After the second guess, I couldn't find any word starting wih "ei" that didn't use one the already eliminated consonants.

So, I figured e had to be in position 3, giving me "-ie--". With s, d, n, and g eliminated, I could not find a word that fit that pattern using only consonants. So I figured I was missing an o or a y; o didn't work at all, but y fit nicely in position 5.

Now I'm hunting on "-ie-y". Seeing that I figured "piety" was a good guess,

 

[dsmrp]

Miraculously got it in 3, with only 2 known letters. I could only think of one word ending in the last 3 letters .

Spoiler

 

[tombanjo]

Getting three letters in the right order on the first word made me think I could get it in two, but really laid an egg by taking 5
