Anyone playing wordle?

Don't know why but it took 5.

Back to my usual 4

Four

Spoiler

Guess 3 eliminated STILL, STIFF, SMITH, SLITS, SMITE, leaving STICK, STING, and STINK as options. Three possibilities, two of which end in K. So if my next guess ends in K, I'll either hit the right solution, or know which of the two remaining possibilities is correct. Arbitrarily, I went with STICK; I could equally have used STINK.

4 today.

I thought I was on my way to X/6, but I stayed with it. I fetched the answer in 6 after all.

Two. Yowser!

And another 4.

Spoiler

Sitting in my sunroom and watching it rain (rainroom?), so started with RAINY. Got the I in the middle. MOIST seemed like a logical followup and added S and T out of position. Since xxITS would be plural, I assumed I should try STIxx. STICK was actually the first word that came to mind, quickly followed by STILL and STIFF. Whereas, @T_R_Oglodyte smartly rules out as many letters as possible at this point, I try to guess which word is most likely the wordle, and I’m wrong the vast majority of the time. I actually talked myself out of STICK and into STIFF thinking the double FF was more likely. Fortunately, I went with CK instead of LL on my 4th try. Why? HE double hockey sticks if I know!

Four. Two shots at the last letter.

Another no matter how many you guess, there are more in the same pattern.

Five. Interesting word.

Four. Shoulda, coulda, woulda two!

Spoiler

I rode the CREST to a very productive start. Then, as I often do, I talked myself out of the solution. TRICE, for some weird reason was actually the first word that popped into my head. But, before I could enter it, I talked myself into TRUCE. And, then TRACE. Fortunately, there was nothing else to talk myself into, so I had to go with TRICE.

 

[clifffaith]

Five today.

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Four. Starter word was a complete miss, but misses also help by eliminating options, and it led me to a very productive Faith word for guess 2.

Spoiler

ARISE was my starter word yesterday. Would have been good to come back with it again today.

Guess 2 was a guess a la Faith. I wanted those 5 letters, so I tried STIRE, not ever having heard of the word. But Wordle accepted it!

After guess 2, the options I had were WRITE, TRICE, TRIKE, TRIPE. TRACK tested for every remaining option.

I had it at 4 but tried 2 others first so squeaked by with a 6.

I wasn’t able to get a definition to come up for “stire”. Not that I’d remember it, mind you, but I do look up the “weird words”.

Yeah - the only definition that I found was a conjugation of a Norwegian verb.

 

[dsmrp]

I bombed. I hadn't heard of the answer word.

Spoiler

I would have done slightly better on my 3rd guess to go with 'twice', but went with 'tr' word instead since there were at least 3-4 possibilities beginning with 'tr'.

 

[Patri]

Three for Tuesday.

Spoiler

 

[Rolltydr]

And 3 for me, also.

Spoiler

A lucky start with POISE getting I and E in correct positions. I had to convince myself to stick with MAIZE because of the Z, but I did and it paid off. Although the A was out of position, it would only work as the first letter. So, I’m looking at AxIxE. I think of ALIKE and ASIDE. I stop thinking and go with ALIKE.

 

["Roger"]

Didn't play yesterday, too busy. Must be out of practice. Took me 6 tries today. (I did think that I had some pretty good words for the last couple of tries, just not the right "good" words.)

With a fair Adieu i bid my X/6 good bye. A 3 today quite different and yet exactly opposite.
