Anyone playing wordle?

Four today. Decided to use all 3 starter words and after the 3rd, the answer was obvious.

I used 3 scattered also.

I got mixed up and wasted one. So five for me today. Sheesh!

three - aided by a fortuitous second guess.

3 for me

Spoiler

I'm becoming fond of a starter word with some common consonants and vowels, it's served me well lately.

 

[Rolltydr]

Also 3. And, also due to a fortuitous 2nd guess.

Spoiler

FORAY popped into my brain this morning and I thought, why not? Got an O and R. While I made a mistake in not moving the O, I did go ROGUE, and hit a mini-jackpot. At this point, I’m looking at GROxE. GROVE and GROPE were my options and I went with GROVE.

Four. Wrong guess at 3. It could happen to anyone!

Right! Now I'm wondering why I didn't think of that first! Phew.

Color me slow this morning, but pulled it out in six.

Same with me.

A quick 3 today.

Two. Nothing beats a fortuitous starting word.

Spoiler

I've been using ARISE a lot as a starting word, and today it paid off big time.

After guess 1, my list of solutions was SPIEL, SHIED, SPIED. Assuming I haven't overlooked a possible solution, if I guess either SPIEL or SPIED, I will either guess right, or I will know which of the two other possibilities is correct. I had a hunch that SPIEL was more likely than SPIED, so I went with that.

4 today.

 

[Sandi Bo]

Three for me.

Spoiler

I've certainly found my 'go to' starter word. I used to start out with my first thought for the day (which in it's own way is kind of fun). But lately I've been settling on this one (maybe it's that I'm training my dog right now and we're working on 'look at me')?

 

[Rolltydr]

5 for me.

Spoiler

YOUTH was not good to me. IDEAS hit the remaining vowels and yielded I,E & S. I thought SEIZE was a good Wordle and it did get the S & I in correct position. Here, I think of several possibilities; SPICE, SLICE, SPIRE, SPIED, SMILE… I settled on SPIRE, but noooooooo. So, that’s my SPIEL for today.

My spouse loved playing this word game.

4 today.

Me too.

Four today.

5 for me.

I’m not alone!

5 for me and not unhappy over it.

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Tough one for me today. Five, and I had to work to narrow down the possibilities.

Spoiler

Guess 2 was checking the remaining vowels, and knocking out two common consonants. Guess 3 was verifying the position of the U and checking for more consonants.

After guess 3 it seemed that the options were MUDDY and MUMMY.

4 today, nothing apecjal.

 

[Rolltydr]

I’ll have to start a new streak tomorrow because I totally failed to extend the old one going today. Sheesh!

Spoiler

Little did I know that my starter word was a subliminal message to me that this puzzle would be a THORN in my side. The rest of the puzzle requires no explanation.

 

[Sandi Bo]

4 for me today, ends my streak of 3's! I was going to go google apecjal, lol, but guessing you meant special (is that a Faith word)? Happy Sunday all!

Spoiler

I didn't know you could have 3 of the same letters, but I couldn't think of anything else to try, and it is almost Halloween.

 

[Patri]

I’ll have to start a new streak tomorrow because I totally failed to extend the old one going today. Sheesh!

This one caused trouble for many of us. Glad I didn’t think of your word for my last guess.
