Anyone playing wordle?

[mentalbreak]

Two thoughts:
1) this is addictive. Many nights I find myself reading much later just waiting for a new wordle.
2) please put your spoilers behind the spoiler screen.

Alas, it is still dark outside. My despair at not solving this, is abundant

Wordle 352 X/6

 

[Rolltydr]

It took me 5 tries but I actually feel pretty good about that.

Spoiler

I went for vowels and most used consonants with ROUTE as my first guess. Getting only the O in the wrong position, I went with CHAOS to try and build on the O but all I did was get it in the correct 4th position. That made me think the last letter was an N. ONION came to mind but I didn’t want to use the double double word. I kept trying to think of other words but kept coming back to onion. I decided to go with it and hit another O and thought it very likely the O’s were consecutive. I almost immediately went with BLOOM instead of broom. That gave me the last 4 in order and GLOOM was the only option left.

 

[clifffaith]

OMG! Got it in five, but I easily spent 20 minutes trying to progress from word four (where I had the second and third position correct) using the letters I had left.

Fourth try. This was tough. After two entries, I only had one misplaced letter (on my second entry). Like clifffaith, I had trouble even coming up with words given that I had eliminated nine common letters.

 

["Roger"]

Not a palindrome, but "jazzy" would probably be pretty tough. Other tough ones might be "queue", "wryly", "gypsy". I think "paean" and "axiom" and "axion" would also be tough.

Likewise, not palindrones , but what could be really tough are words that have the same letter three times: tepee, poppy, etc. The last two days, I came close to trying one of these words in desperation. The problem is that if you are wrong - and I would have been - you have really wasted a turn by not entering anything but one new letter.

4 for me today - the two letters I got in the right place on my first guess were very helpful - that is a fairly hard word imo.

Double o words can be tough because of all the possibilities. My third guess was just to look for consonants to limit the options, but in retrospect I think I should have used a word that had L in new position.

By the way, spoiler tags don't need to be typed in by hand. They can be generated from the "Insert" drop down menu when creating a post.

My iPad doesn’t allow that. Darn.

Patri, I use an iPad and I can use the dropdown for the spoiler tag. Are you not seeing the task bar at the top of the message box Like in the photo below?

 

[dsmrp]

Really lucky today to get it in 3!
Had a good 2nd guess.

Spoiler

I was going to use 'groom' for 2nd try,
but went with 'growl' to get in another consonant. So it was a choice between
'globe' and 'gloom'

Actually, I like your first 2 words. I’ll have to keep those in mind.

 

[tombanjo]

Emotion overcomes me as I managed to get this in three.

A great number of possibilities entered my mind, but one was right.



Wordle 353 3/6

 

[Rolltydr]

Three for me also.

Spoiler

I’m really not much of a STEAK guy and it did nothing for me today. A tip of the cap to @clifffaith for DOILY. I had never used the word but she did a couple days ago and it was a very good one in this situation. After identifying the L, O and D, only 2 words came immediately to mind with the letter options I had remaining, blood and FLOOD. I chose correctly.

 

["Roger"]

Five for me today. I thought I had it on the fourth try but had the wrong first letter.

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Spoiler

After the second guess I figured there was a second "o" in the word, possibly in the second position, but most likely in position 3, creating a "oo" combination. Looking at the consonants available, brood looked like a good choice. Alas, but then flood seemed to be the only other option.

 

[clifffaith]

Four for me, with my first and third try giving me no letters at all.

Spoiler

I should have been able to get it after doily, but figured there was a second vowel that had to be a U.

 

[dsmrp]

4 for me. It was a choice of 2 words on my 3rd try, and so odds caught up with me, and I chose "poorly"
I see @Rolltydr "chose wisely".

Perfect symmetry!

Four this morning.

Spoiler

Why not start out with the root word of SPOILer? It got me the I in the correct position. Staying on the that track, I next went with ACRID and it got me two more letters, A and R. I thought I saw a TRAIN coming but, alas, it was not to be. That only left one possibility, and one of my best TRAITs is recognizing the obvious.
