Anyone playing wordle?

[Patri]

OK, “potch” sounds like a Faith word!

LOL. I was going to mention that, but decided to let someone else make the discovery. I still haven’t looked up what it means.

 

[dsmrp]

3 for me.

Spoiler

That may be the fastest I’ve ever resolved one, even when I’ve gotten them on the second try.

We had the same 2nd guess
But took me longer, 4, to get it right

Spoiler

I had my doubts on pulling this out in 4.
Luckily I got an epiphany when thinking of words ending in 'pt'.

I can’t get out of the four rut.

Four is nothing to be ashamed of.

Mine was three today. With a nap between the 2nd and 3rd guess to let my brain work it out! Lol.

 

[slip]

Pulled out a 3 today.

 

[tombanjo]

That's one for the news, if I had 17 more guesses, I might have got it

Wordle 454 X/6

 

[Patri]

I’m on par with Tom. Bombed today. I protest!

Spoiler

 

[Rolltydr]

3 (bombed) in a row! Never seen that before.

Spoiler

 

[bjones9942]

I got today's in 5, but it was a total guess. Who knew that was a word???

 

["Roger"]

Struck out also. My last four tries,pretty much like those of @Patri, were with three and then four letters correct. Went for real words, not one that I have not heard of.

AARGH! The only thing good about today was at the bitter end when I was down to two possibilities and had to pick one, there was a third word I didn’t see so either choice would have bombed.

Spoiler

I threw a random heavy consonant word into the mix midway through to try to get some more letters in or out of play, but there were still too many possibilities.

Six for me today, and I had to work at it. Detailed discussion in spoiler.

Guess 3 located the A, E, and R. but using the remaining letters I came up with 24 reasonable words that could be the solution. So I decided to focus on eliminating as many words as I could in a single guess. And even then I'm going to need some luck with my next guess. If I miss entirely I could easily be at guess 5, with 12 possible remaining words. Which would leave low odds of solving.

I decided to focus on filling position 3, since that looked like the most efficient way to thin the list. Going through my list of words the letter distribution for the third position was:

• F - 1 word
• C - 3 words
• R - 4 words
• G - 4 words
• L - 3 words
• K - 3 words
• Z - 3 words
• P - 2 words
• N - 1 word.

LARGE tested for R, G, and L, encompassing 11 of the 24 possibilities. LARGE gave me the R in position 3, narrowing my list to RARER, PARER, CARER, and BARER. That's four words wth two remaining guesses. So my next guess needs to test for three options. RECAP worked for that, checking for a third R in position 1, and checking for P and C. If none of those worked, then by process of elimination, BARER would be the answer.

RECAP confirmed the word started with P, so PARER it was.

I guess I am in good company. I bombed as well. I got 4 letters correct in their positions by the third row. Then it was filling in the 5th letter which I failed even by the 6th row.

 

[slip]

Barely squeaked by with a 6.

 

[tombanjo]

Made the news as a "streak breaker" where only 41% got it compared to the usual 99%

 

[Patri]

We should look forward to more toughies.

 

[dsmrp]

I bombed out as well.
Too many possibilities at the end.
I briefly thought of a version of the answer, but went after different consonants.

 

[jackio]

We bombed also. Guessed wrong on the middle letter 3 times!

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three today. Easier than yesterday.

Spoiler

 

[Patri]

Three. I’m redeemed!

[tombanjo]

Yesterday was definitely in the pooper, today a give away 3

Wordle 455 3/6

 

[Eric B]

I got it in 3 today, too. Someone turned me on to quordle.com and octordle.com if anyone wants more challenging ones....

 

[Rolltydr]

I guess I’m the laggard today. Took me 4.

["Roger"]

What a difference a day makes. Struck out yesterday, 2 today. (Fortunate first word with three letters correct.)

[VacationForever]

Four and stress free today.
