Anyone playing wordle?

[HitchHiker71]

When someone ran a computer simulation, the computer had the most success using CRATE as the start word.

I use TRACE as my first word every time. Same letters as the above - just in different order. I might have to try CRATE and see if the letter order makes any difference.

This is a fun game. Started a few days ago and got personal best today.
Wordle 255 3/6




Tried to copy/paste several times and not sure why it doesn't display well. Any suggestions?

Yeah, the pasting of results doesn't seem to work here on TUG. Not sure why. I found other Xenforo forums where it does work.

Got it today in four. Tougher word for me.

I appreciate the quick update, thank you!
On a completely unrelated note; it's getting quite toasty in the Denver metro for the first day of March Nearly scorching!

If AccuWeather is to be trusted it's warmer in Colorado today compared to parts of Florida. I have noticed about 1-2 days a month during winter are similar to today's conditions. Daily factoid!

Since D is more commonly used than C, you might want to try using TRADE.

Here's what I do to display my results. After copying the Wordle results to the clipboard, I paste them to a generic document with a black background, then cut a snippet from the document to my desktop. It's then a PDF that can be attached to a post. It's certainly more than I would *like* to do, but at least I get the desired result.

If you happen to be using a Mac, you can use Shift-Command-$ and do a screen capture of the pasted image area. Then you can upload the screen cap to the thread. Saves a few steps.

That's exactly what I do, using a Mac. You just explained it better than I did!

Today's word seems pretty obscure to me!

Today's word seems pretty obscure to me!

Especially if you switch the two consonants. Different word, but it also fit the pattern.

2nd try today! I went with a word just off the top of my head this morning and hit 3 letters, none in the correct position. I then tried the first word that came to mind with those 3 letters and I hit it. Maybe I’ve been thinking too much.

Nice! Took me 3 tries today, which ties my record. Was an easier word, I suspect, certainly compared to yesterday.

It took me 4 tries today after a string of about four or five 3's.

Like Patri I like to use different starting words, but they are not too different. I always try to get three of the following letters into my starter: T A E I

One thing I discovered it that it is not that bad to strike out or come close to striking out on your first word. If you keep avoiding odd letters like Q, Z, X, etc. on your second word, you fairly quickly get to the point where it is hard to find any word that you can put it using the leftover letters. Thus, early disaster can lead to a quick success.

I am really surprised yesterday went better for me than today. Think I will change up the starting words and see how that goes. Also, used screenshot to paste which seems to show up better.

Four today.

 

[stmartinfan]

Aarrrgh. Took me 5 today. After 2 tries, I had figured out the last 4 letters in the correct order, but then took 3 guesses to get the first letter right!

 

[Rolltydr]

2nd try again today. I again went for the first word that popped into my head and got 1 letter but it wasn’t in the correct sequence. I spent just a minute thinking and took a shot and got it right. Although, it feels good to get it right so quickly, it almost makes me sad because I can’t play again until tomorrow.

Question for those who have played this a lot:

Let's say you guess a word containing the letter R. Then Wordle tells you the R is in the word, and it's in the right position. If you guess another word containing a second R, will it tell you whether that second R is also in the word, and whether it is also in the right spot? Or does it only tell you about the first one?

Dave

That is how it works. It will also tell you if the second R is not in the right spot while the first R is in the right spot. So you would see both a Green and Yellow R.

I really applaud anyone solving with only two words. That seems like the skill of a more advanced mind; the ability to place letters in sequence with such a minimal level of elimination. Maybe one day....
