Anyone playing wordle?

["Roger"]

Five today, which is the number of tries it took me to get one of the correct letters from my first try into the correct position. I tried all the other four positions first.

Four today and I am not unhappy with it.

A very pathetic six today. And I had all the letters, but in the wrong spot, on my fourth try.

4 for me, not too bad since I only got 1 letter in my 1st guess.

Tried to fake me out with easy words that weren't right -

Four for me.

MOURN got the U in the 3rd position. I often search for the AU combination and gave it a try with CAULK. No A but an out of position L. I think there’s a good chance the L goes in the second position so I try BLUSH and get the BLUxx. BLUFF is the only word I can make with my remaining letters.

Five for me. After I struck out on my first entry, it really started to limit the words that would fit, but I still managed to come up with some good, but wrong words, on my next three tries.

Got zero letters first 2 lines, and all correct on the 3rd. I am quite pleased with myself at the moment. Okay, okay, there is some luck here.

Tried a new first word that didn’t really pan out, but got it in four.

That's a GREAT first word. That's being added to my first word list.

Three today.

Went back to Bayou for an opening word, Got a B in position 1 and an out-of-position U.

I pondered my second guess. I initially considered BURST, since that would put the U in new position, and tested for R, S, and T, the three consonants I usually go for first. But then I decided there was a good chance for another vowel. FLUID tested for a possible I, and put the U in a new position.

My second vowel possibility was eliminated, but with the added L and F, the answer was obvious.

I got two in two days

@T_R_Oglodyte and I had same 2nd guess. And I also got it in 3.

Four

Used my new starting word from Clifffaith, and scored an R. So the word needs an A and/or a Y, and an R somewhere other than position 3. GRAVY fit the bill.

After GRAVY my first inclination was to put in DRAMA as a guess, but I thought better of that, and decided I should first hunt more consonants. A sound decision, resulting xRAMP, for which CRAMP was the only possibility.

3 today, Yeah!

Six because of inattentiveness. I forgot about a correct letter in my first guess.

I've done that before too.

I will not pretend luck had a role in 3 today, but I did not freeze up when it looked like it was one of those which 100 rhyming possibilities

Wordle 407 3/6

Four for me.

Spoiler

I’m thinking about going to the BEACH later today, so I opened with it and got the A and out of position C. Staying with the theme, I tried COAST and got the C in the correct first position. With my remaining letters, I think it’s likely the second letter is an L or R. I go with L and try CLAIM. No L but I find an M which now must go in the fourth position and the second letter has to be the R so it is CRAMP.

Three today.

[clifffaith]

Four letters in the correct spot on first word! So glad my second word was wrong because I actually had that as my first word then decided to change a letter.

5 today.

Lucky to get it in 3.

Spoiler

I hadn't thought of 'crack' as some of you did. Nor 'crane'. My other choice was 'crass'. So lucky to choose cramp.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three

Spoiler

After guess 2, I couldn't think of a possible that might end in U, and the only word I could think that started with U, had an A in position 3, and an R in position 4 or 5 was UNARM. I didn't think that was a likely solution, since WORDLE seldom uses words that are a root with a prefix or suffix.

That left me looking at xUARx or xUAxR. The only way I could make any head way on that was to assume the word started with Q, leading me directly to QUART.
