Anyone playing wordle?

My spouse plays this game daily. I do not get it.

Six! Yikers for me. I just can't use a guess to eliminate or find letters (and that could end up being the death of me).

Spoiler

I wasn't sure if KLOUT was a word or not, so had to pick between F and K for my last guess. FWIW, it is not but didn't think it would be fair to check until after I played. Phew.

So... you can practice on wordplay.com I didn't get it either. I've done jumbles forever. Several friends and family members were commenting they just couldn't believe I didn't play wordle, so I tried harder to 'get it'. Now I really enjoy it, following along here with others makes it more fun for me. I talked to someone the other day that said she played it with her middle school aged daughter, joking that it must being educational (which I would say yes to that), until her daughter started beating her. They had a chat going with her Mom. The one and done is good for me, too. Otherwise who knows how long I'd obsessively play.

Four. Wasn’t sure this was even a real word.

Same 4 for me. Not sure I'd ever heard the word.

Three.

I guess I was in a flying mood this morning with my first two words. PILOT found the ending T plus L & O out of position. Next, I debated going with CLOUT or ALOFT. I decided ALOFT was a more likely Wordle and it paid off, getting the LO in correct position and exposing the F, which by process of elimination, had to be the starting letter. So, with FLOxT, the only remaining option was FLOUT.

Three today. Second guess was fortunate, as I helped me solve after getting nothing on guess 1.

Spoiler

When I start with ARISE and get no hits, I almost always use POUTY as my next guess, as it picks up all remaining vowels and tests for two common consonants.

I wasn't trying to solve with guess 3. My main focus was to put the O, U, and T from guess 2 in new locations and try out two new consonants. FLOUT fit the bill and as a bonus, turned out the be the answer.

 

[clifffaith]

Picked a good word off the morning news. Three today.

Anyone else notice last three days’ solutions all begin with F?

Five but not unhappy about it.

I'm happy with a 4 since I never heard of that word.

OK... you made me look it up, I kept thinking should. Now I see those of us Wyndham owners should be familiar with it. Increased my vocabulary with a word I can use in the future. Thanks wordle!!

flouting conventions
flouting rules

To flaunt is to exhibit or parade (something) in an ostentatious manner. To flout is (1) to show contempt for or to scorn, or (2) to contemptuously ignore (especially rules or conventions). These verbs are often confused due to their similarity in sound, but they share no common ground.

I've made it this long without it. I'm doubting I'll use it in the future. But at least I can't say I never heard of it anymore.

 

[rickandcindy23]

My first word is always the same one. It works very well for words like this one. I got it in 3.

I've been proudly and knowingly xxxxxing rules and conventions for 40 years. Not going to stop now.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Four today.

Guess 3 eliminated CARGO and CARAT, leaving CARRY as the last word on my solution list.

 

[Sandi Bo]

Four for me. Should have gone with my first guess, would have been three. However, yesterday, I should have gone with my second guess. Alright, I'm over it.

5 and I don't know why.

Four.

I’m going to the BEACH today! That gets me an A & C out of position. I decide to go searching for letters instead of guessing at the solution. For some reason LILAC is in the back of my mind but I don’t want to try it. Instead, I use SOLID to check for the L and I plus the S, O, & D. Nada! Next, I try TRUNK, mainly to try the T, R & U. I hit the R but it is also out of position. I look at the possibility of CRAxx but don’t see anything with my available letters. I then try CARxx and see CARRY.


T_R, I love that you used GONAD. I haven’t heard that word in years.

Four, wasted the third.

Me too but I find it more of a challenge when (spoiler)............................................................................. a particular letter occurs more than once.

 

[Patri]

Four, and fine with that.
