Anyone playing wordle?

4, not bad.

Back to four.

After Guess 3, the answer had to align with either xIAxx or xxAxI.

The xIAxx words I came up with all ended in S, such as DIALS or VIALS. I've concluded that Wordle never uses a five-letter word that is formed by appending S to a noun or verb, so I discarded the xIAxx pattern and focused in the xxAxI pattern. I came up with two words that fit that pattern - KHAKI and ABACI. ABACI is the plural of abacus, and trusting my instinct that Wordle shies away from plural nouns, I went with KHAKI.

5 today.

Three, but it took me a long time.

First of all, I’m impressed with you all. I took all 6 and a very long time.

I think this is the hardest one yet, for me. Even counting the ones I struck out on.

I started looking for vowels with ACUTE. An out of position A. I wanted to try OI so I went with AVOID, although it didn’t change the position of the A. It got the I, also out of position. So, I now think there may be a Y, and debate between FAIRY and HAIRY. I go with HAIRY and add the H, also out of position. Now, I’m stumped. I keep trying to make words to no avail. I finally decide just to try a word and hope something hits. I try SWAMP, thinking maybe I can add a consonant or two. Nope, but it does get the A in correct position 3. I’m still coming up empty, so I try FLAIL and eliminate a couple more letters. I’m down to my last guess and feeling defeated. I finally see that KHAKI works and I curse the Wordle gods!

Three tries, but it took a long time to come up with anything at all after my second word.

Four today, and fairly quickly considering that I’d call this a difficult word.

Four today, and pretty fast as I thought of the word after the 3rd line.

6 today.

 

[tombanjo]

I really hit it. Three today, I'm on fire !!!

[Rolltydr]

Three for me. Good start to the week after a couple of tough days.

Spoiler

I started searching for vowels today and since Wordle has kicked me the past couple days, I tried ABUSE. I got and E out of position. I wanted to try all the remaining vowels with my next word but couldn’t think of any that also allowed me to move the E. So, I tried PEONY and got the P correct with E and O out if position. POKER came to me pretty quickly and I really didn’t think that would be the word but I got lucky.

 

[Patri]

Five. Fun one.

Four today. Unlike yesterday when I did it in three, today took very little thinking. Went quickly.

[clifffaith]

Crapped out. Two choices at the end, small debate, went with the one I thought of first, but no joy.

I got 3 of the letters in the correct places after the 3rd line, then 4 in the 4th line. After that it was just replacing the letters for that one position in line 5, and finally got it in line 6.

 

[DaveNV]

I got it in 5, for the same reasons as above. Had four letters right on the third word, but it took to more guesses to get the first letter right.

5 for me. I was thinking baseball, instead of going with the odds of r/o 2 rhyming words. So I didn't hit it out of the park
Luckily I didn't strike out either.

Spoiler

For 3rd guess, I thought the answer would end in 'er' with the 'o' in 2nd position. The 3 words I could think of using remaining letters were 'joker', 'poker' and 'homer' .
I went with homer

Two today. Picked a good day to try out a new opening word.

Shocked with a 3.

Five. My hat‘s off to you, TR!

Spoiler

I went back to one of my favorite opening words when searching for vowels, AUDIO. Got the out of position U. I wanted to tru UE and Y with my next word to hit all the vowels. I used PUKEY because it worked. I got the E in position 4. I wanted ro see if the word ended with an R and also move the U. UTTER seemed like a good Wordle word but, alas, it was not the answer but did add an R out of position. However, I somehow, missed it. At this point, I believe the U has to go in position 3 so I’m looking at xxUEx because I somehow missed the R. BLUES is one of my favorite music genres so I give it a shot. It adds the L and I see the R, finally, although both are out of position. The L ha to go in the last position and the R almost certainly in the second position, xRUEL. GRUEL is the only word that fits.

Five also. A real toughie for me.
