Yeah - if I hadn't stumbled onto the "AO" ending I would have been at five or six.

I've attached a little excel file that can help narrow down your choices. I only use it if I'm getting close to midnight and still can't figure it out. It was written by Bill Jelen aka Mr. Excel. While it uses macros, it doesn't do anything behind the scenes. Excel might ask you if you want to allow it to run, and give you a security warning. Depending on your settings, you may also have to enable macros.

Took me six today - and I live in México! I should have guessed it earlier

 

[clifffaith]

Now I know “achoo” is a legitimate word!

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three today. Came close to two, except I decided to eliminate more letters before attempting a guess.

Spoiler

After the first guess I had my fingers on the keyboard to enter LOSER for my second guess. But I held back, deciding that there were still too many possible words. I decided to use SHRED instead - testing for four new consonants and putting E in a new locations.

 

[tombanjo]

Nearly lost it at the end. Lots of possibilities with 3 letters in the correct place.

Wordle 365 6/6

 

[Rolltydr]

3 for me.

Spoiler

Starting with CREAM identified the E and R but in the wrong positions. I felt like the ER as the last two letters was too easy so I went with RESIN as my second guess and I got the S in the correct position and basically guaranteed the word ended in ER. I thought of LOSER immediately but, c’mon man, it’s Father’s Day! That can’t be the word of the day. I kept searching for another word and I just couldn’t get one. I finally gave in and LOSER was, indeed, the word. I can only surmise that whoever created today’s Wordle has a terrible relationship with their dad.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

One of mine was wacko.

I used that one too. I was desperate. Today is better. In three, even with making a mistake on try two.

Five today. It took me three tries to get the last letter as there were a number of possibilities.

Repeat of yesterday. Happy to have got it in six.

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three today.

Although the first guess looked bad (one out of position consonant and no vowels), it set up the second guess. In guess 2 it wasn't optimal to repeat the T in position 4, but UNITY scored all of the unguessed vowels, and used N, which is a frequent consonant.

After hitting four of five on guess 2, with a green N in position 2, there were few possible solutions. If I all three of I, T, and U were after the N in position 2, the options had to be:

• _NUIT
• _NTUI
• _NTIU

Based on this I tried INUIT, but to my great surprise WORDLE rejected INUIT as a word. So that didn't count as a guess, and it also meant that that the word had to start with IN. So the options were

• INT_U
• INTU_
• IN_UT
• INU_T

Among those options, INPUT looked like the only possible answer.

3 for me, also. But, it took a while!

Spoiler

I started with SAUCE which was a new starter word for me. Got the U out of position. I went with PROUD next mainly to see if the OU combination was in play but it wasn’t. It did get the U in the 4th position and also identified the P. Here, I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to identify words ending in UP. I was sure, with the letters I had already eliminated, that the P would be in the last position, but I couldn’t form any words. I finally forced myself to look at the possibility of T being in the last position and used X as a holder and INPUT became obvious. Another good word and a good challenge to shake off the cobwebs on a Monday morning.

 

["Roger"]

Likewise three. (Glad I don't look at this thread until I have completed my own try. There would have been a lot of pressure on me to try make it in three if I had.)

Four for me today.

[dsmrp]

I managed to pull it out in 3 today.
Could easily have gone to 4 or 5.

[VacationForever]

5 for me today but it was not stressful.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

3 for me today

Spoiler

I went back to my old ADIEU standby to open. SOAPY is what I usually use if the only hit with ADIEU is an out of position A. SOAPY puts the A in a new position, picks up the last two vowels, and tests for two very common consonants.

OA is a common enough letter combination that I wanted to keep them together in guess 3, which meant moving them to positions 3 and 4. GLOAT was a lucky guess, It could as easily have been BLOAT or FLOAT.

 

[tombanjo]

Not to be smug, but three as well


Wordle 367 3/6

 

[Rolltydr]

For the first time in a long time, 2 for me.

Spoiler

I had thought of a word last night that I wanted to use first but I couldn’t remember it. Sigh! For some reason STOIC popped into my head so I went with it. I got the O in the 3rd position and a T. After a little thought and based on the letters left, I thought it more likely the T was the last letter so I started looking for letter combinations to begin the word. GLOAT was the first one that came to mind. I think I’ll go back to bed now so I don‘t screw up the rest of the day.

 

[Patri]

A laggard, apparently. Four for me.

 

[Passepartout]

Today was wicked with all the rhymes. 4

 

["Roger"]

Four for me.
