Anyone playing wordle?

["Roger"]

A lucky three. Only one letter after two turns. Having a slew of letters eliminated does help however.

Hey, this perhaps was asked MANY months ago, but I have only been playing wordle for less than two years.

Is your FIRST GOAL:

1) to get the wordle in the FEWEST tries or
2) to NOT STRIKE OUT ( six unsuccessful tries)

Since my starter word was a solution in ONE try a few months ago..... I have decided to keep it as my starter word.
Hence, I will NEVER get a ONE again.

Sometimes, when my first guess only brings one correct letter..... I try Five DIFFERENT letters......so I also cannot get a TWO in those instances.

I sometimes guess three words that involve 15 different letters in my first three guesses.

So, I suspect by now, you know MY answer to my 'goal' question......I do NOT want to 'Strike out'

I have a current streak of about 300 days.

How about YOU?

You're doing great. I try not to use burners. I'm also bombed twice last week, so there's that.... My goal is to not strike out (and allow myself a burner if I'm feeling it's needed badly - obviously I didn't use one when I should have (twice last week, lol).

I'm in the same situation you are. There are no special prizes for getting it in fewer guesses - only if you solve it at all.

I have a few starter words I like, that eliminate or verify vowels quickly, which I follow up with trying to find used common consonants in the fewest words. It usually takes two or three guesses to get those letters confirmed or denied. The rest is trying to find the right answer without striking out.

ADIEU, followed by CLONK (if there are none in the first guess) or followed by STORY, depending on how things look after the first guess or two. Then I try to assemble a word that fits. I tend to end with a lot of FOUR solutions. Today was a typical example. (I didn't realize the C wasn't the starting letter when I put in my third guess, but it gave me the rest of the word. Then it was just a matter of finding a word that fit from the unused letters on the alphabet.)

And unlike some people, I don't use helper apps or cheater websites or make up songs to give myself or others clues. I don't come to this page until after I've solved (or bombed) that day's word. I make it or break it all on my own.
