The "Wordle" thread

[Herdfan]

So I heard about this word game on SiriusXM this morning. Every day it is a new game and you can only play once a day. It is very simple, just guess the 5 letter word. Each guess gives you hints as to whether a letter is in the word and if it is in the correct place.

I got today in 3 guesses.

Got it in the fourth try! Fourth row was the correct word. The other day I read a couple of articles in The Washington Post about this game and tried it just for fun. So today I approached it with a bit of strategy based on my earlier experience. It's kind of fun and does make one think.

Three guesses for me today, too. I’ve been playing for just over a week. Had to use my 6th guess one time. That was nerve wracking. It is the first thing I do in the morning. So far, a good start to each day.

3 guess for me today. 5 yesterday; that was a hard one.

Today's took me a while. Had to go to paper, but I got it.

I got lucky with my first guess. My first guess is usually one of a few words that contain a lot of common letters.

Yeah, found out today that you can't use the Wheel of Fortune Bonus Round letters RSTLNE. It has to be a real word.

So for now, I am probably just going to find a word I like or just use the previous day's word as a starting point.

Well, failed this one royally today so shows that I'm not as erudite, word-savvy or as intelligent as I'd like to think of myself as being.... Definitely this thing is challenging!!

So where is our wordsmith, Scepticalscribe? This should be a piece of cake for her! Ditto LizKat!

As you can see, I was at 4 by the second guess. But when that last letter came up wrong, it threw me.

Since Wordle isn't itself a new game, I figured there would other versions. In my opinion, much of Wordle's success is due to two things: one game per day, and easy, fun sharability using emoji.

I sent the link to the wife and she has already been playing! She's deadly with word type games.

Thank you for your kind invitation.

I've had to consult Mr/Ms Google to find out what this is about.

Sounds as though it may well be my kind of thing.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Got it on the fifth guess.

Hm.

Fascinating.

This could be incredibly tempting. Not to mention downright addictive.

And - I will just put this out, for, it crossed my mind as I studied this topic - my mother would have loved it.

Before dementia took her mind and memory, she was an absolute demon at crosswords and all word games, and adored them and excelled at them.
