Anyone playing wordle?

I am missing Wordle. I am in the process of moving and it will be a couple of weeks before I have a router modum that will allow me to check in as myself to play Wordle. :cry:
 
Three today.

After guess 1, I figured the I must be in position 4. So it was a matter of finding one or more of the consonants for positions 3 and 5.

I'll admit it took a long time to come up with my 3rd guess. DH too.

I was bit too quick with my second guess, not having my tea quite yet.

I wonder if four will be the average again. Tom, what is tea going to do for you?

If so, I’ll be below average. :cry: It took me 5 today.
I tried BEAUT again as it is another beautiful morning. I wanted to test for vowels, including Y, and also to see if L or R was the 2nd letter. I couldn’t think of anything to include Y so I went with BROIL. That gave me the R and the I had to go in position 3 by default, so I had BRIxx. I tried BRICK, then BRINK and, finally, BRISK.

I’d be interested in knowing if any of you have a strategy when you get down to one remaining letter and you have multiple options. Like this morning, I went alphabetically trying C, then N and then S. Sometimes I just try to guess which is the most likely word. And sometimes, I just try them as I think of them.

Three today. I liked your starting word yesterday, so I used it myself.

As to your question, when there are multiple possibilities, I don't try to solve the puzzle. Instead I use an elimination word that contains unique letters from the possible options. If the answer is one of those options, it will show by revealing the letter for that word. I guess some people call that a throw-away word, but I don't consider it a throw-away. To me those words are key for maximizing my chances of getting to a solution within six guesses. Sometimes that means I don't solve the puzzle as quickly, but I trade that for the greater probability of arriving at the answer.

If I'm not ready to try to solve, I don't bother with repeating green letters in a guess, because that doesn't tell me anything I don't already know. Like in today's puzzle, I got one green letter in the first guess. In my next guess I put a different letter in that spot, so now I know whether or not that new letter was part of the answer.


With my guess 2 I wanted to eliminate a bunch of common consonants, and test I as a missing vowel. Referencing my comments above, the C in position 1 took out words such as BIRCH, BLOCK, BRICK, BOTCH, BUNCH. The N tested for a slew of words, including BLOND, BONGO, BINGO, BLIND, BLINK, BRINY, BISON, BROWN, and probably others.

I pulled a 4 out of nowhere today.:thumbup:
 
Three.
I wanted to find the vowels this morning. ACUTE got me nothing but then SOILY was very productive. I thought of SOGGY and SORRY pretty quickly. So, since it seems as if it’s going to be an extremely wet few days her in Florida, I went with SOGGY.

You are more analytical than me. (Side note: I was an analyst in my pre-retirement life and I don’t like doing anything that reminds me of work. ;) ) You often list many possibilities based on your particular scenarios, indicating that either you spent some time trying to think of all possibilities or they come to you pretty quickly. I, on the other hand, try words as I think of them, rather than trying to think of several possibilities and then choosing one. I may think of 2 or 3 and make a choice but not more than that. My reasoning is that all words have the same statistical probability of being the solution so why complicate it by trying to think of more words. It’s like the lottery, every ticket has the same chance of winning. I do very much enjoy reading your synopses and I learn from them. In fact, I’ve learned a lot of new words from several of our daily players.
 
Five.

4 for me today. I do enjoy this. Also analytical by trade, this brain is retired. I appreciate just throwing things out and seeing what sticks. I've done jumbles forever, my Mom still enjoys them, even with her dementia. I wish this was around a few years ago and she had learned to play, she would have enjoyed it.
