Anyone playing wordle?

I started playing about a week ago. Everyone was talking about it and two people kept posting results on FB. Of course, inquiring minds want to know.

I also think it's similar to the hangman game. I play hangman with my 7 year old granddaughter :) all the time.

I have done pretty well. After a few days, a word had two Ls - learned real quick that they don't show up when you get that letter right.

I start with the same word each day - three vowels - not the cheat word. Not that it really matters.

There have been a few times when there are multiple choices of what the "word" of the day can be - so might have to get it right on the 5th or 6th try :)

I am enjoying it and will not pay if it comes to that. The only other game I play is solitaire on my desktop.
 
I started playing 10 days ago: I like it because I don't have the time to spend hours on a puzzle.

I play wordle occasionally

"start your Wordle with a word like ADIEU then you have four out of the five vowels for colored feedback from the game. The odds of at least one of the said vowels retuning with yellow or green feedback is higher than you receiving positive feedback for another vowel-packed word like QUEUE."
 
Very reminiscent of Mastermind that we played in the 70’s and 80’s; only with colors instead of letters.

What I'm finding tricky is the box colors. I'm colorblind, and initially the yellow boxes look very green to me. Once I get the puzzle solved, the green "right answer" boxes look "more" green to me. I wish they used a more vibrant yellow color. It'd be easier for me to see. Anybody else have this issue?

I've taken a screen cap of a solved screen, so I can compare the differences in the colors.

I can certainly see how that would be frustrating. I’m not colorblind so I’m just offering an uneducated suggestion. Is it possible the glasses that block out blue light would change the shades of the colors enough to help?

There is a color blind setting with orange and blue boxes instead. Click the icon for settings and choose it.

Yeah, looks like High Contrast Mode. Orange is a correct letter in the correct location and blue would be correct letter in wrong location.
 
I didn't know that option was there. That definitely gives me a better comparison to work with. Thanks!

My DH is very color blind and we changed the colors in settings.
 
Today’s word was tough but I got it.

I got it on the 4th try after striking out completely with my 1st word. I think that’s the first time I didn’t get any letters with my first try, but I took a wild guess this morning hoping to get lucky. I failed miserably! :doh:

DH and I play together every day. It took us 6 tries today...hard word
 
Today was tough - I struck out. And it proves a huge point: Do not attempt Wordle until drinking at least a second cup of coffee. LOL! :D

DW, Paula has a 97% win average, and rarely uses more than 2 of her 3 words. They are STARE, DOILY, and BUNCH which gives all vowels and most common consonants.
