Anyone playing wordle?

4 for me today, although it could have easily been 5 as guess 4 was one of two remaining words with 1 letter difference.

4 for me. I went out on a limb with guess #2.

Spoiler

For my 3rd guess, I came up with 'thong',
'gloat', 'float'. My husband likes to look at what I've gotten after a few guesses and come up with his own guesses. His were 'aloft' and 'float'. I guess my own, and we see who was right.

Great minds think alike. My third guess was between the two words dsmrp's husband thought it was.

Four as well.

 

[VacationForever]

Four for me today.

 

[rickandcindy23]

Five for me. I could have sworn we had that word a few weeks ago.

Four seems to be the magic number today with all the common letters.

Your third line and my fourth were identical!

Two for me today. Logic in spoiler.

With first guess I knew the word had a U, but not in position 3. That meant there was most likely another vowel, which would be either A, U or Y. I decided that a word with two Us or a U+Y was less likely than U+A. And the word had to have an L in some position other than 1.

After puzzling this for about five minutes, AWFUL was the first word I could think of that:

1. put the U and L in different positions than guess 1.
2. Added an A to the word.
3. Only used common consonants.

So I tried AWFUL. I wasn't trying to solve. I was just trying out existing letters in new locations, and introducing some common consonants that hadn't already been eliminated. To my great surprise, AWFUL was correct..

I had a terrible time - cursed by two strange correct letters

Four for me.

I decided to drive down to the beach to watch the sun rise this morning. It was beautiful and well worth the 20 minute drive. With that in mind, my starter word was OCEAN. Only got an out of position A. I wanted to see if an I was in the word and went with FLAIR. Much to my surprise, I now had F,L,A all out of position. Like TR above, I then spent 5 minutes, at least, trying to come up with words that had those 3 letters and a U as I felt it likely the AU combo was in play. After several minutes, and apparently, a brain fart, I went with FAULT not realizing the F could not be in the first position. It wasn’t a total loss however as it did confirm the U. Now I had 4 letters all out of position. I contend that is extremely hard to do and one should get partial credit! From there, it became obvious pretty quickly that the word was AWFUL. Apropos!

My, my, you really get the brain cells going. Five for me.
I finally hit a button so now my iPad lets me do a spoiler. But when I tap share on Wordle, it goes to Clipboard. I don’t know where my Clipboard is, or how to get it over here.

Four for me. I was quickly running out of letters after my first two entries.

[clifffaith]

Five for me. Probably spent twenty minutes trying to get from word four to five.

Five for me. Probably spent twenty minutes trying to get from word four to five.

I took a long time too trying to find any word that fit my 2 known letters in other positions. 3 for me.

Sharing doesn't show the words you played.

From Sharing, you could try to do a direct paste into this thread's reply window . I play on my Android phone, and pasting only showed some gray squares.

Instead now I take a screenshot of Wordle, and then crop & save image when my picture editing app starts automatically. It saves to my photo gallery, and I add pix as an image to my post between the spoiler tags.

That's essentially what I do on my desktop computer. I use the snipping tool to snip the solved puzzle, then paste the snip between the spoiler tags.

Another option, at least on a desktop or laptop computer, is click Share, then paste share into a text document. That will show the letters. Then copy the puzzle out of the document, and paste it between the spoiler tags. I use the snipping tool because it saves a step, and I have the snipping tool anchored in my task bar.

Today was a hard one. On my 4th try, I turned it over to my husband who then solved it for me on the 5th try.

I’m getting closer to posting a spoiler.

Whee. Now if I can just remember this tomorrow. The word is appropriate for the solution today, don’t you think?

Four for me today. Guess 3 was critical. As usual, logic in spoiler

Spoiler

For guess 1 I went back to ADIEU, my old standby. That gave me an I in position 3.

There are lots of words where the only vowel is I in position 3, so I decide to check out that pathway in lieu of testing for more vowels using a word such as CORNY. Guess 2 incorporates three common consonants, while also testing for xxING words.

Guess 2 yields an N in position 3. This is extremely helpful, as the word must likely ends in either INT or INK. But xxINI (BLINI) and xxINY (BRINY) are still possible.

At this point, possible words are PLINK, BLINK, CLINK, CHINK, BRINK, BOINK, BLINI, BRINY. Too many options to do process of elimination. So guess 3 needs to test for most of those combinations. I go with CRAWL because everyone of those words except BOINK contains at least one consonant in CRAWL. So if CRAWL comes up empty, then BOINK looks like the word. But if it's one of the other words, I'll get a hit that will narrow down the options.

Guess 3 returns R in position 2. So the word appears to be BRINK or BRINY. I go with BRINK, and that happens to be correct.

From the edge of disaster, a result. I could use a drink after that !

[Rolltydr]

Five for me because there were too many options for that last letter.

I decided to look for vowels with my first 2 guesses today. I started with ARGUE and got the R in the 2nd position. Next, I tried BROIL not only to check the last 2 vowels but also to see if they were in combination. They weren’t but it almost guaranteed the I was in the 3rd position and gave B as the 1st letter. So, I start looking for words starting with BRI. The weather hasn’t been very BRISK lately but it seemed like a good word and I hit the K. Now, it’s a process of elimination. I tried BRICK, and in basketball terms, it was. But, fortunately at this point, I was on the BRINK of success!

 

["Roger"]

Four for me today. Different issue from @Rolltydr as to which letter that was. In my case, I think I only had two possibilities (and, of course, I chose the wrong one on my first try.)
