Anyone playing wordle?

[Sandi Bo]

Six. But not thinking straight, threw away a couple. Not making any important decisions today.

Four, quickly, today. Used a first word that popped into my head yesterday, even though it had some “unpopular” consonants.

Some day it will pay off.

Four today. Seems to be about my average.

4. Had to use T.R's strategy of a throw away word on line three to advance the cause.

Three today.

Since S is such a common starting letter, after guess 1 I decided to assume for the moment that S was in position 1, and look to fill in other letters. I decided on ACORN because it put the O and N in new positions, checked for A, the last primary vowel, and checked for R. which is one of the consonants (along with S and T) that I focus on.

4 today.

Poor, Poor despicable me - a 4 from no letters in the first word.

Two - pure luck, but of course I'll take it!

I wasn’t really pleased with any of my choices this morning and it resulted in a 5.

Spoiler

I started with PEARL this morning and got the R. I wanted to hit the remaining vowels but I kept thinking of other words instead. SMIRK added the S in first position. SHORT added the O. SWORN got the N and SCORN finished the deal. An interesting pattern in that I got one letter in the correct position with each word. 5 letters, 5 tries. All green squares.

Four. Wrong guess at three.

Four, with third being a wild guess. Well, they are all wild guesses.

Five because of all those rhymes!

Six, by the skin of my teeth! I, too, thought I was going to fail. I'll take it.

[Rolltydr]

Six for me, also.

I wanted to hit the vowels this morning. MONEY and ADIEU got the A and E both out of position. Next, I hit the 3 of the most common consonants with STARE. No consonants found but it moved A and E to the correct positions. xxAxE has tons of possibilities. I decided to try BLAZE and it did render an L. I thought (wrongly as it turns out) the L most likely belonged in 4th position, xxALE, instead of 1st position, LxAxE, So, I was sure the solution was WHALE and once again the Wordle gods laughed at me! So, being left with LxAxE, and a shrinking pool of available letters, I take my LEAVE from Wordle for today.

Three today.

Three today. Didn't have time to play yesterday, so I banked my luck for today.

Three today.

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Four today.

Spoiler

Guesses 1 through 3 were elimination words, hunting common consonants and trying to find a home for the A. After guess 3 LEAVE was the only solution I could think of.

 

[dsmrp]

My usual 4. Was traveling and un/packing, so missed the last couple of days.
This one had me going thru most of the remaining letter combos for my
last guess
