Brain fart on the 3rd. Got it on the 4th.

Took me four in spite of having three letters on my first word.

5 today, wrong guess with number 4.

Exact same thing for me today too.

 

[DaveNV]

Another 4 Day. I'll take it.

[T_R_Oglodyte]

My usual three today ....

Spoiler

After guess 1, I immediately thought STEIN, but I stepped back and decided to work through a possible solution list. After doing so, I had the following word list:

• STEIN
• RISEN
• SIREN
• RESIN
• SINEW

That was too many options to go through them individually, so I entered NEWER to try narrow things down. When NEWER came up negative for both W and R, STEIN was the last word left.

3 for me today

Let’s raise a glass to a 3 today

[Patri]

Oh, you three! Popped my bubble. I’m happy with four.

[Rolltydr]

I’m with Patri!

IRATE seemed like a few good letters to start with today. Moving the I, T, & E around, I came up with EIGHT. All 3 still out of position. I shook them up again and came up with TEPID. Finally, the I in correct oosition and I’ve narrowed the possibilities for the others. I believe I’m looking at xTEIx. I could use a STEIN about now.

 

["Roger"]

Me too (with Patri). Four.

[VacationForever]

Three.

Three for me today too but I wouldn't say that that's my "usual".

Yeah - three is a bit presumptious. Three or four is probably more my norm.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Three again - thanks to fortuitous guesses

Spoiler

For awhile, I always used starter words with four vowels. Recently I've relaxed that, as it seems to me that there's comparable value in getting an added common consonant into the first guess. In that regard, SAUTE has become an often used opening word (along with ARISE, IRATE, AISLE, ALIEN, RAISE) .

SAUTE gave S, T and E, all three out of position. ST is such a common combination, that when I hit on those two letters I try to keep them together for the next guess. Today's word could not start with ST, so I was looking for a word that

• kept S and T together.
• had an E in some position other than 5.
• had a new vowel (I, O or Y).
• used another common consonant.

HEIST fit those criteria. After HEIST, EXIST was the only remaining solution.

4 today.

 

[Patri]

I bring up the rear. Five.

[Sandi Bo]

Three today, lucky guess, almost went with your #4 Patri.

Is it real? Or is it fantasy ? No - just another 4


Wordle 486 4/6

 

[Rolltydr]

Four.

Spoiler

I sort of tried to use both of the strategies T_R mentioned this morning. I started with STERN as it has 4 of the most used consonants. I got a pretty good result with 3 letters, all out of position. For my second guess, I decided to hit the remaining 4 vowels with AUDIO. I added an I but all 4 letters are out of position. I begin to look at xEIST. I decide to try HEIST which leaves me with ExIST which, in this case, the unknown letter is actually X, EXIST.

Me too, but on my third guess I had all five letters but just two in the wrong order.

 

[DaveNV]

I'm so bad at this. Five today.

Four today. I still have bugs on my mind since I have to do battle every morning at Valley Isle.
