Anyone playing wordle?

Could have had it in two. Thought of both words, guessed the wrong one.
And now I know why I had such trouble with screenshots. Instructions say use the volume button, but on my iPad it worked with the power button. Still have to figure out cropping.

Four today...

I always have mixed feeling about trying a word with a double letter. If it is wrong, I have wasted an opportunity to test out two letters. In this case, it was about the only word I could think of that still fit given the letters that I had eliminated.

The above is plain text, not a spoiler BTW.

Fixed - thanks for the note.

5 today.

Four for me today - which is my average. Two yesterday though. That was nice

 

[dsmrp]

4 for me. I really thought my 3rd guess was it.

Spoiler

On 2nd thought, droll isn't the only possibility. It could have been 'troll'.

6 for me today. I think its very likely there was only 1 word left on my sixth guess - I had to resort to manually filling in the two letters I didn't have (from very few remaining possibilities) to get it.

Five for me. Logic in spoiler.

Spoiler

Guesses 1 and 2 were standard vowel hunting, along with a few common consonants.

Guess 3 was selected to suss out the location of the A, to check whether the word might have two As, and to investigate three more common consonants.

After guess 3 I know that positions 3 and 4 needed to be two consonants that can fill between the A and the Y. ALKY came to mine, so I tried to solve with BALKY. When the wasn't the answer, but it added a K in position 4, I was really perplexed. GAWKY was all I could come up with, and I wondered whether that was even a word. But since I couldn't think of anything else, I tried GAWKY and it worked. Afterward, I looked at the puzzle again, and I realized that HANKY would also have fit at Guess 5, and if I had seen that I certainly would have used that instead of GAWKY, which means I would have put in GAWKY as guess 6.

No need to stare at my awkward 5, I was running out of letters at the end

It took me all 6 and I was glad to get it then.

Spoiler

My first guess was AMPLE, which was not ample, only hitting an out of position A. I tried TRAIN next to see if the AI combination was in play and test a few consonants. Nada! Now, I’m searching for the correct position for the A. I went with Havoc and got the A but nothing else. With the letters I have remaining, I’m thinking maybe double letter in positions 3 and 4 and ending in Y so I start down that path with DAFFY. I get the Y. Now I’m just looking for the right letter in 3 and 4 which will dictate the correct letter to start the word. I try SASSY and nothing. Down to my last guess. Maybe I’m wrong about the 3,4 combination. I see GAWKY, but like TR, I’m not certain it’s a proper word. I don’t see anything else, so I go for it and that’s it. Whew!

I wondered if it was even a word.
In four.

Three for me today. Comment found in spoiler...

Spoiler

I hated putting the third word in (which turned out to be correct) given that I was using three fairly uncommon letters all at once. Still, it was about the only word I could think of given the letters that I had eliminated.

Well you taught me a new word today. I’d never heard gammy before.

 

[dsmrp]

5 for me, could have been 6 if I hadn't changed my guess at last second.

Spoiler

I was going to enter 'gawpy' after confirming it was an old word. Then saw the K and realized gawky was a more likely word.

Sweating bullets today. Got it in 5.

Hit and miss if I do this right

 

[Rolltydr]

I also got it in 3.

Spoiler

I started with PIOUS which is one of my favorite starter words as it hits 3 vowels and a couple common consonants. All it got me was an out of position U. With my second try, I wanted to hit the remaining vowels in combination with the U. It took me a minute but I came up with HAUTE which got me the H in the first position and a T out of position. At this point, the U has to be in the second position and the T either in the 3rd or 5th position. I initially tried to use it as the ending letter but didn’t come up with anything quickly. As soon as I tried it in the 3rd position, I saw HUTCH would work. I thought about it for a minute but didn’t see any other possibilities and, indeed, HUTCH was correct.

 

["Roger"]

Four today.

Spoiler

Given that I was down to one vowel after my second try, not too hard. Forgot about the fact that the H could appear twice or I would have used that as my third choice instead of the word that I did use. Still, my third word did make the final answer obvious.

Three today.
