Anyone playing wordle?

["Roger"]

Five. Three tries to get the first letter.

My first three in what seems like forever! I think what helped was instead of attempting to come up with a word that used the two letters from my first try, my second word had all new letters and I lucked out and got three more correct.

Two. A matter of luck and not of accomplishment.

Spoiler

Decided to go back to my old standby starter word, ADIEU, since I hadn't used it for awhile.

After guess 1 I wasn't trying to solve. I was just looking for a word that would put the I and E in different locations, and that didn't include any of the letters eliminated in guess 1. I finally found MERIT, and I was surprised when it was the answer.

Could have been 4 but I guessed the wrong word so I ended up at 5.

5 again today.

No special badge for me today, all 5 letters guessed, but not one in the right place

Wordle 429 5/6

 

[Rolltydr]

Three for me.

Spoiler

Apparently, I’m hungry this morning as I went with foods on my first 2 guesses. I opened with ROAST and got the ending T and an R. Next, I moved the R and tried 2 vowels with FRUIT. That got the I in the 4th position and also meant the R had to go in position 3, so I have xxRIT. With my remaining letters, MERIT is the first word I can make work, and it does.

Three.

A fortunate opening word always helps.

Five. Wasted one try with a green letter misplacement.

 

[clifffaith]

Off to a bad start, but got it in three.

Three today in under 15 seconds. Unlike yesterday - I blew up.

[dsmrp]

2 today! Due to super lucky guess.
I was just searching for consonants.

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three again

Spoiler

Guess 2 was putting the O and E in new locations, and checking for common consonants. I like to go after S, T, and R as soon as a I can. Guess 1 eliminated R and S, so I wanted to include a T in guess 2. COVET was what I came up with. I eliminated T, but did hit on xOVEx. With the letters that had bee eliminated, WOVEN was the only word I could think of that fit.

For today's puzzle, eliminating R and S in guess 1 was huge, because when I got to guess 3, words ending in ER and ES had been eliminated.

Oh, darn.

 

[Patri]

Four. I’ll take it.

[Rolltydr]

Four, also.

Spoiler

I tried a new starter word with AFIRE. All it yielded was an out of position E. I wanted to try OU and E but also move the E with my 2nd guess but couldn’t think of any words to use, so I finally decided on MELON. I added an O and the ending N. I tried COVEN next which led to WOVEN.

Three.

4 today.

Took me all six today.

Five today. I took a 5-hr break for golf and lunch after the 3rd line. I guess it freed up my mind when I cam back.

Spoiler

 

[dsmrp]

3 today. Like @T_R_Oglodyte , I luckily chose for 2nd guess, the correct positioning for the vowels I got in my 1st guess.

Spoiler

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Another 3.

Spoiler

I stupidly used a word with two Es in guess 1. Sometimes you're lucky.

With guess 2, I tried the Es in positions 3 and 4. After guess 2 the word had to have EE in positions 2 and 3. I also couldn't think of a word that fit with DEExx, so I figured the word was probably xEEDx. NEEDY was the only word I could come up with remaining letters, so I plugged that in.

[edit] I guess WEEDY would also have worked, but I overlooked that possibility.

 

[Rolltydr]

Five.

Spoiler

Unlike TR, I was unlucky, getting nothing from my first word, STOIC. I tried for more vowels with guess 2, VALUE, and got an out of position E. Now, I’m thinking there’s probably a Y, so I go with HYPER and find it out of position. So, I’m 3 words in and have 2 letters out of position. I think the Y is probably the last letter and I also think there’s a goid possibility of another E. I try ENEMY and I was right on both counts. With the remaining letters, I’m thinking NEExY and NEEDY works.

Four today.

Five today. My brain fell asleep after the 1st line.
