Title: Exercising that blob atop my shoulders (Wordle)
Post by: Jolly Blue Giant on January 18, 2022, 04:48:08 PM
Just wondering if any of you guys play this game. It's very addicting and a lot of fun and makes you have to think hard for a few seconds

Every morning I play a variety of games to exercise my brain. I play a lot of Sudoku and play against a timer. I can tell if my brain is functioning well when I am in the top 100 of the thousands of people who play the daily game on the same site. I also play games of chess, checkers, hearts, and spider and in the evening do the crossword and crypt-o-quote. I feel it is necessary to regularly exercise my brain and keep dementia from creeping in as I am no spring chicken anymore

With all that said, there is a new mental exercise that is very addicting and I've jumped into playing it regularly and some are calling it the "Game Fad of 2022" and has taken the world by storm. It's called "Wordle"

The problem with it, is that you are only allowed to play one game a day and it only takes a few minutes to solve (assuming you can solve it) then you have to wait until the next day for the next puzzle. However, I have found a site that allows you to play it as often as you like and I'll share that link.

Here's how to play:

You start with any 5 letter word. I usually pick a word with "s" 't" "r" and a couple vowels, but any word works like "horse", "giant", etc.

If you get any letters right, the blocks will turn yellow or green. Wrong letters turn gray. Yellow means the letter is in the word to be solved but in the wrong order. Green means the letter is part of the solution and also in the correct spot of the mystery word. You have an onscreen keyboard to pick your letters and it must be a real word. You get six tries.

Here's a tutorial:

Thanks for the link.

To be honest, I am usually horrible with word games. I can stare at a Jumble all day and never be able to arrange the letters to form the right word. Now give me a math problem and I'm off.

That said, I did it in 4 tries.

Does everyone get the same word each day?

For the daily Wordle, yes - same word for everyone. That way peaople and friends can compare notes (and brag if it fits) on how long it took you and how many tries. Speaking of bragging, I've figured out the word in 2 tries a couple of times. Usually takes 4 or 5 tries and a couple times I completely missed it.

I play the Daily, but also play the one that you can play as often as you'd like on a different site as I posted in my first post. But here it is again if you missed it: http://hellowordl.net/ (http://hellowordl.net/)

Very fun game. I agree that it's a nice little brain exercise. I've done about 8 or 9 of them, and I showed my 14 year old daughter, and she is also a fan. I'm happy to say that so far I have not missed any, but they are generally taking me 4-6 tries. I have gotten two on the sixth try, so I'll certainly miss one soon. I have not gotten one in two tries and I think I only got one in three tries once, and that one was pretty lucky.

What is your way of attacking these things? This is how I have been approaching it:

First try: Just pick a word with a lot of reasonably common letters like "paste" or "boats"

Second try: Still have to be creative here. Just try to get something that fits the clues, but using all new letters, again favoring common letters.

Third try: By now, hopefully you've got at least one green to work with. You should also have a decent number of eliminated letters. Since most of the eliminated letters will be very common ones, depending on how many yellows and greens you have, you can start to piece together some possibilities. You also may have a better idea of where the yellows should be located as you may have two different wrong spots for the same yellow letter.

Fourth try: In this round you should be taking a genuine stab at the word with some sort of confidence. There aren't many letters left that that aren't part of the word, so it's just a matter of thinking about what the word could possibly be given the clues. In this round, you're probably going to have to start thinking about random letters like J, W, X, etc.

Fifth and sixth tries: If you haven't gotten it by now you should be really in trial and error mode with very few possibilities and it's just a matter of process of elimination. I have seen some annoyingly weird words like "oxide", so they'll definitely throw some tricky ones at you.


Jolly, if you have any tips I'd be happy to hear them!

Got today on the third try. My second guess was a very fortunate one.

There is for sure a lot of luck in the first two rounds in this game. I went from having one green in the first round to four in the second round. So the third pick was easy.

I read that it's best to start with a vowel-heavy words in the first round, which makes sense. If you hit a vowel or two early you have a bit more of a tangible base, since there are so few vowels compared to consonants.

Jolly, if you have any tips I'd be happy to hear them!

I don't really have any tricks. I started playing this game several days ago and now I'm hooked. When I'm bored I click over and play a game and each time I think I've mastered it, it throws me a doozy. No tricks that I have other than to start a word that contains a variety of common letters "rates", "trade", "sauce", "horse", etc.

Anytime the word has an "X" or a "Z" in it, it tends to be much tougher - especially that "X". If you could put in letters that didn't make up a real word, there'd be some opportunities to solve some of the tougher ones, but the game doesn't allow that.

Anyway, glad you like the game. I liked it so much I felt I just had to share on this board. Ric

If you notice the slide bar at the top of the page (of the unlimited play site), you can slide the bar for more or less letters. I stick with 5, but have tried others. 5 seems to be the most fun...for now anyway

Took me till the last line today. I had 4 of the letters but just couldn't arrange them right.

If you put the same letter in a guess such as "never" and the answer is "there"...one "e" will turn "yellow", but not two (because neither "e" is in the correct spot. If your second guess is "sleet", the third "e" turns green and fourth "e" turns yellow indicating that there are two "e's", but one is in the wrong place. It only happens when you guess a word using same two letters that are the same and one is in the correct spot, but the other is not. Quite rare when it happens and can throw you off when you see your letter is green, but also yellow.

Kind of complicated, but that's how it works. You get better over time because you begin to see the different nuances.

As a side note, I've played over a hundred games and have yet to use the letter "j", but I've had to use "q", "x", and "z" a few times. Must be there's not a lot of 5-letter words that have a "j" in them.

Really enjoying doing my daily Wordle. I've now done ten days worth of them. Sadly, while I wish I could report a perfect record, I missed one two or three days ago so I'm at 90% so far. On the one I missed, I was very sloppy/lazy with my 3rd and 4th guesses and didn't put nearly enough thought into them. Lesson learned. But I think this is a fun little daily exercise that gives your brain a quick workout to start the day without taking too long.

I rarely lose because I won't give up no matter how bizarre the word. Here's one that I lost the other day on the "do as often as you like" site. The answer was "HOUND" - I lost!  :(

I got todays in as quick as I've gotten any other.

My strategy is to start with HOIST, every game, then READY. That gives me 4 of the 5 vowels and several good letters. Then seeing what I've gotten so far, I will try for a word with U and whatever letters I can use with it. My third word today was NUMBS and it gave me all the letters for the missing word.

I start with words with RSTLN and the vowels. I try and get in as many vowels as I can.

I like to mix it up, but also try to get as many vowels in the starting word...like POISE, HOUSE, RAISE, etc., and other words with commonly used consonants like TRAIN, MOIST, ROAST, PLACE, TRACE

Unless it's the daily word on the official Wordle site, I just put in the first word that pops into my mind (unless it has two of the same letters...usually anyway)

Question on todays game

I started with HOIST--nothing
Went with READY- Got E and Y correct
Went with FLUKE and K correct and a yellow E

Wouldn't that indicate that there was another E somewhere since my first E was green with the READY word? This thru me off until I just ignored the yellow E and proceeded to get the word.
I thought it was mentioned that if there were 2 of the same letters, one would be green if it were in the correct spot, and then if there were another it would be yellow.

No. When you went with READY, you had the E and the Y in the correct spots already.

When you then went with FLUKE, since you moved the E out of the correct spot, it switched from green to yellow. It wasn't going to keep it as green since you moved it.

Ding, ding, ding... Dang you're good. I already tried "THIER" which I knew was spelled wrong and I couldn't use an "R" anyway, but it automatically eliminated a combination of "IE" in my weary head. I was seconds away from clicking the "give up" button then thought, what the heck - I'll ask the guys on this site. You're both fast!

Yes, everyone gets the same word (for the daily wordle that most people play). I was going to post mine from this morning because I got it in 1 try which was sh-t luck. I was going to wait until tomorrow in case anyone has yet to play today's word. But...since you let the cat out of the bag, I will post it. I need to do this after embarrassing myself a little while ago as I was unable to come up with a word  :(

I can't believe I didn't get it. I started with a word that had no green or yellow. By the second word, I had one yellow letter..."R". By the time I had a "u" and an "m", I went with Rumor, Tumor, then "sorry"   ~X(

Good or bad, I start with the same 3 words, HOIST, READY, and PLUCK. So I have all the vowels with a Y and several of the main letters. With this plan, I rarely get the word before the 4th try. So then I see what I have either permanent or movable and try a few combinations to see where the movable letters might go and what I might mix with whatever letters I have left. As of now, it has worked well for me as I have only missed one word and that includes several of the 'other' games from the link you gave each day I do play.

I also play Candy Crush every single day, maybe for years now. I am at level 3000 and something and the game is much harder. Don't know if anyone has played but it is more than just a silly kids game as there is a very certain strategy to it once you get into the higher levels. They still want you to buy things to help you beat levels but in all the years I have played, I have never spent a penny on this game, but I do enjoy it very much.

They still want you to buy things to help you beat levels but in all the years I have played, I have never spent a penny on this game, but I do enjoy it very much.

I always start with ADIEU every morning. I like having four out of the five vowels (not counting Y) revealed after the first round. Even if I get all greys after that first guess I feel like that gives me a lot of info. I'm not sure that there is any "best" starting word, but I think the more vowels you cover off on early the better generally. You just have more of a feel for the structure of the word when you have a good idea of the vowel makeup by the second guess.

Funny you say that. I found this to be one of the trickiest ones yet, and I have one close to 30 days worth now. Like you, I got it on my fourth try, however I was stuck after the third try for quite a while. The combo of letters I was working with felt like such a dead end. I finally got it, but that was definitely harder than normal I thought.

I had only one "i" and all the other vowels were used up. Finally tried a word with a "y", but it wasn't the end of a word so that confused me, but that helped to know it was part of the word. I had pretty much exhausted all my consonants. So I sat for several minutes scratching my bald head totally lost. I had a "c" left, but no other consonant that would go with a "c" that made sense. Finally came to the conclusion that the consonant had to be used twice and the light went off. One of the toughest ones yet...although, "ultra" was no walk in the park. Just not that many words that start with a vowel and end with an "a". Anyway, I like challenges and that one gave it to me.

I failed to get one on the other site earlier today. After three tries, I had "_ound" all in the green so I went with "round", then "sound", then "mound" and ran out of tries. It was "wound". I guess the law of averages says you have to miss at some point  ~X(

It's really funny. I had almost the identical experience (including a similar process of elimination) that you did to arrive at the word today. Once I managed to get to the point where I said "ok the second letter definitely can't be anything but a Y" I was able to get there, but I definitely struggled today with this one today.

Today's was weird. I didn't get it. Never heard of the word in my life and when I looked it up it was a Greek word. I closed the tab. Brought it back up to show my girlfriend and it was gone. I went through the routine and started with the Greek word and it said it wasn't a word. So I started all over again and had the same start with the same letters in yellow and I got it in two more tries. Must be the company decided the word of the day was not valid so it started a new one. I'm confused!  :-?? :-?? :-??

clearly, Wordle has caught on to the tactics of 2 or 3 words to find all the vowels and most common letters and are adjusting their word of the day to reduce the effectiveness of that strategy.   The last 2 days have ben pretty challenging.

I think they are mixing it up at the New York Times since it got hacked last week and some computer/math geek figured out the algorithm to predict each new word before it is posted.

Strange. When I first did the word today it was on a UK site and the word was AGORA. My daughter did the word and got a different one. I noticed the web address on her phone was the ny times. I Googled wordle and it sent  me to the NY times. I did their word and it was ARO
MA. When I went back to the uk site it changed to the times.

I agree with Rich. Now that the times owns it the words will be more difficult

Stumbled on this on Twitter today. Good thread.

https://twitter.com/MattGertz/status/1494302449586290691

There is some discussion in the comments section about the advantages of trying to go for a consonant-heavy word with the first word rather than a vowel-heavy word.

I start every morning with ADIEU and have had good results. The logic for starting with a consonant-heavy word like "STERN" though is that there are obviously many more consonants than vowels in the alphabet, so chipping away at the larger population early offers more of an advantage than finding out which vowels are in it but then still having tons of consonants to have to work with and try to eliminate.

I may give the consonant approach a try just for fun, but I'm guessing the truth is that the vowel-based approach is better as it gives you a much clearer sense of the structure and sound of the word.

5th try for me. Definitely trickier than average. I got a bit lucky with my fourth guess as it yielded four greens. All I had was two yellows after three. I could have easily picked something else on the fourth guess, gotten fewer clues and then been sweating it out in the 6-hole.

The NY Times has taken out words deemed offensive. Personally, I didn't even know you could use swear words or obscene words. Apparantly there are still some words you can use that are obscene.

Doing this on the alternate site that can be played as often as you like.
This seems soooo easy, and I'm baffled. First thought, "chore", then "erode" (but missing an "h"). It could be "roach" if there was an "a" instead of an "e".
It seems there are few consonants that go with "h" to make a word fit.

Anyway, have a look see:

Good job. It did stump me and I gave up. On the other site you can give up with the push of a button and it will tell you the answer so that's what I eventually did. On real Wordle you have to put in words that are real until you run out in order to see what the answer was. When I put in "HORSE" and 4 out of 5 letters were yellow, I went, "Ha! this will be a cake walk". It wasn't. LMAO

I found this AM's on the trickier side but got it in 5 tries. Took me a little time though. I have had a lot of 5 try outcomes recently, and my career 5th guess total is now one short of my 4 guess total. It had previously been the 4's way out in front with a few threes and one two. I do feel like they've had some trickier words in the past week or so.

I think people like Wordle because for the most part you solve it each day and it usually doesn't take more than a couple of minutes, sometimes even less than a minute if you get a bunch of letters in your first two guesses. So it makes you feel good starting your day off that way. I think they probably should have made the standard format six letter words. The game would be more interesting if striking out were a more common occurrence for people.

On the other board where you can play as often as you like (https://hellowordl.net/ (https://hellowordl.net/) and there is a slide bar on top of the page where you can adjust it to do words that are 4 - 11 letters long.

Got it in three as well today. A much needed result after more fifth try outcomes lately than I'd like.

I feel like score outcomes in this game are a bit like a par four in golf, with a correct guess on the fourth try being a "par" outcome. To me anything worse than four tries is not a good outcome. Anything less than four is a good or better than good outcome. I don't feel like I've "won" anything if I get it in five.

The one caveat to this is that there are sometimes situations where you have three greens by the 2nd or 3rd try and you then have multiple possible words that fit. Whether you get it immediately there or after an extra couple of tries has nothing to do with skill or brainpower and everything to do with just pure process of elimination luck. So my golf analogy is not always 100% true. I think it's a fair standard though when spread over a bunch of different games.

I like the golf analogy

I try for the 3rd as well. 4th is par, as you said. After that I'm getting desperate lol

I start with the same word, RAISE, and go from there.

Got it on 4 with a completely lucky guess. I was just trying to position letters and it came out correct.

There are at least three words with a different first letter than the correct one and they are all valid and common words. I got all three of them.  :crazy:

I had to focus on today over the weekend, but today's work was tricky (not that the weekend words didn't challenge me but after the 3-word guesses, I just had to puzzle them out).  Today's word sort of scared me as I though as is was obscure enough that it couldn't possibly be the answer (and I only had one guess left after that guess)

Post by: LennG on March 15, 2022, 12:12:45 PM

Funny, I never really guess until I put my 3 main words in, so I will very rarely get it before 4. With today's word, using my regular words, after my second word I had 3 of the letters in their correct position, so with a bit of thought, I got it in 3. A rarity for me.

I got it in the 3rd try. Started with Giant, which has become my go to word a lot...that and train, plain, strap, etc. I've gotten where I prefer common consonants to vowels

I haven't played for as long as some of you guys have, but knock on wood  :knockONwood:, I am currently undefeated (I can't show my stats because I use the web-based game on 3 different platforms).  I tend not to push hard to get the answer quickly as I believe that when you start guessing to get the word quickly you usually stray from the methodical approach that will ensure that you succeed before you run out of guesses.

I agree with you, Rich. Early on, I was trying to rush it for some odd reason. I've only had one miss out of 65. That one was because I got impatient.

That's my downfall. I act like I'm on a clock and I have to see how fast I can solve it. Being impatient, I sometimes throw a word in there with a letter that I absolutely know isn't available just to rearrange the yellows. Dumb. Probably a carry over from my younger years in which I know I had ADHD. I could never sit still and always had to be moving with a short attention span. Back in those days, there was no medication...they just called it, "friggin kid just won't sit still and relax". No meds, just occasional trips to the Principal's office and irritated parents and teachers  >:D

Anyway, took me 4 attempts today to get the answer  :(

I think from the puzzler's point of view there are 3 tactics to make the puzzles harder

1) use more obscure words

2) use words with uncommon letter placements or letter combinations

3) use words that contain less common letters like J or X or Z

I got it today in the 5th attempt, but I thought I was going to be stumped. Only had one square in yellow after two shots. By the third attempt, I had no vowels to work with and my consonants were down to nil. Instead of rushing through it though, I took a lot of time and refused to put in a word with a known gray letter in order to figure out where my two letters I did have fit in the scheme. I was a brain worker  #:-S

A friend of mine had a very long streak ended yesterday for that very reason. I am sure a lot of people did. I was in the same position but just was fortunate to guess the right one. I had four greens on the third guess (all but the first letter), and I still easily could have struck out. No skill involved in that situation - it's entirely down to luck. i guess the only thing I would say about those situations is that I have found it is generally better to go with the more common words over the less common ones, although by no means is that any sort of guarantee.

There are tricks that can be used.  If you have multiple valid guesses you could create one word with as many of the guess letters as possible rather than making all the guesses

That's a very interesting idea. In my case, I never even thought about the fact that there were 8 solutions until I had already lucked out. After flipping all green and solving it I happened to glance at the list of unused letters and thoughr, "whoa, it could have been wound...then holy cow, it could have been sound" which caused me to look at all the possible solutions and I was amazed that I lucked out. I wanted to bring it up yesterday, but I didn't want to do a spoiler alert for those who had yet to work it out

Excellent idea. Great approach if you have four to a word (like yesterday) and a few guesses left but there are something like five letters left that work.

Concerning a 'streak'.

Is their 'streak' only that you play every day?

On my home computer, I haven't missed a word in months. I was away last week and used my wife's laptop and had a short streak there. On Sunday, I continued on my home computer and got the word on the last try and really never looked at my 'streak'. I didn't play yesterday but today I got the word in 4 and looked at my 'streak' and it was at 1. Why is that?
Is it, if you don't play every day, it reverts back to 1?

I'm not sure, because I have not missed a day (I bring my laptop when I travel), but from what you're saying it sounds like if you miss a day your streak ends, even if you didn't fail to get the word in six on a given puzzle.

(https://i.postimg.cc/158R70yB/3-30-22.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)

I did one on the other site last night and check out the word - 4 double vowels and only 1 consonant which was "Q". Store that word in the back of you mind as it might come up some day...LOL

My strategy is to find the vowels and build words from there. I use the same starting word which has 3 vowels and none were there. I tried a word with the other two and my lone consonant and ended up with 4 out of 5 in the right spots. At that point it is luck getting the right word when there are many options, as we've already seen multiple times.

Could be, it happens now and then. I got it on my second try this morning and my first word only had 1 yellow. Just going through the available letters I put in a word that I thought would help out and when they all flipped green, I was quite shocked because the word isn't something you hear or use every day, maybe not even once a year. I'll post it tomorrow so there won't be a spoiler going on here for those who haven't done it yet

What do you mean, using this word once a year? I, matter of fact, use it regularly.  Doesn't everyone????? =)) =)) =)) =)) =)) =))

BTW got it in my usual 4.

Got today's in three. I got yesterday's in two and held back from posting so as not to do a spoiler.

Sheer luck - just picking unused letters with the "n" in a different spot - surprised me

After putting in my 3 regular words, I only had 2 letters. Bit tricky, and with a real lucky guess at 4, I got it in 5.

I almost missed today's, in an odd way.  Guess one gave me the first 3 letters in position.  Then I guessed at a word and got it wrong.  Decided to play my two other establishing words (with the 3rd word modified in light of the letters already played).  Then I made another swing and a miss guess, but I managed to get it on guess 6

Today was a four-bagger for me, but I feel like that was a very good result as it was another relatively less common word. I had a fortunate guess in the 3-hole which really helped me.

I feel like they have definitely raised the difficulty level of the words in the past few weeks.

I got today's in three tries. I've never used the word (or heard the word used) in a personal conversation yet I've heard it somewhere in the past (not a clue how it is spelled) and since I lucked out with three greens right through the middle on my second attempt, and given my options left, I typed it in waiting for the dreaded, "invalid word" but all the spaces flipped green. Lucky.

Yesterday I had a terrible time with "comma" and it took 5 tries and sweat was starting to bead up...LOL

they are definitely putting in more challenging words and it's getting where you have to think outside the box more often

It's funny, I usually come on and do the word a bit later in the day and when I see a few comments already on this thread, I am usually prepared for a sort of 'harder' word. Today I saw nothing and can see why, today's word, for myself, anyway, was easy. got it in 3.

Same thing happened to me. I had three greens on the second guess and four on the third guess, and it still took me six to get it. One of those process of elimination ones where a bunch of single letters work.

Several variations of that combination Bill. I waffled with two choices and screws up on the first one but got it in four. Linda got it in two. Does Louise play?

Six for me and took me forever today. Was close to giving up but eventually got it. By far the toughest time I have had in quite a while. I had been on a nice run of only 3's and 4's for the past two or three weeks.

No kidding. I was sweating bullets on my 6th attempt and I fidgeted between "forum" and "forgo", the only options left once I had "for--". I chose "forum"  :(

No kidding. I don't use my phone for anything but calling, answering a call, and on rare occasions, texting...although I get a lot of texts. So when I lost electricity for nearly 24 hours, I knew it was going to end my streak. When the electricity came back on late at night, the first thing I did was go to Wordle on my computer to keep the streak alive

Funny Bill. I usually put in my 3 words no matter what, so mostly I get it on the 4th line or 5th line. I rarely can do it in 3, except like today when I had all the letters before entering my last regular word.

Even if I have several letters on my first try, I always enter the second word so I will never get it in 2 unless like the other day when I had 4 letters from my 1st word.

Today I got it in two tries. It's been awhile since I've done that. Had three letters in my first try, but only the one vowel in the right place, which didn't make a lot of sense, but wracking my half awake "brain" (an opening word I've used before and should've today), it suddenly hit me

I got it in four after having the last 4 letters in green. I also did not think it was a real word, even though I use it as a slang word on this board now and then. Also, I thought it was a "proper word", like a name or place, not an adjective, noun, or verb. I was surprised when I tried it and they all flipped green. I learn something every day

Yeah, I missed it too. I had 2nd, 4th and 5th letters. No wasted guesses. I probably could have come up with another 5 or 6 words without getting the right answer. Oh well...

Nice job.

After now looking it up, I'm still not convinced it's a real word. It clearly has a couple of slang meanings, but I didn't think slang qualified to be a legit wordle word. Now I know.

Same with me. Took me six despite having four greens after the fourth guess.

They're definitely trying to make some of these words trickier these days. Very different from a couple months ago.

I've never heard the word used even once in my lifetime. Although, put "un" in front and I've heard it used, but never without that prefix. When I put it in, I didn't believe it was really a word, but lo and behold...it was  :crazy:

I am pretty sure you can't have an "un" if what is being negated isn't also a word.  It's just funny how this is one of those words whose use has fallen into disfavor while the "un" version continues to be used.

It's sort of funny, I had 3 letters correct on my first guess.   I studied it a bit and decided there were too many possible combinations left with the two remaining letters that I used my second establishing word.   That gave me the last 2 letters in position so guess number 3 was a slam dunk

I had 3 letters on the first guess as well; my standard starting word. The 3rd and 5th letters were in place. Based on that, one word popped immediately into my head. I punched it in but then I had a second thought to change one of the letters. I normally don't stray from my first guess but this time it worked. Got it in 2.

Far cry from yesterday as it took me all 6 tries. It was another feast or famine day as well; all greens and grays.

Late enough in the day that I'll go ahead and post mine so it shouldn't spoil anyone's attempt - knock on wood  :surprise:

Interesting I had never heard the word "canny" in my life and only "uncanny". Then today as I was reading an article on Quora, I read this about Cape Buffalo, an animal I've always been fascinated with and would never want to meet one in the wild.

Anyway, the story

"Cape Buffalo

They`re incredibly strong and massive in size weighing in at 300 to 850 kg. They tend to be more on their toes realizing that they might have to fight for their life at any given moment , from very long the African Buffalo has been regarded as one of the most dangerous animals. African Buffaloes are believed to kill about 200 people a year in Africa. They can be very canny animals if they get the impression that they are being followed. Many rangers have reported following buffalo tracts only to discover it has been waiting to ambush them. Rangers have discovered how easy it is to climb a thorn tree when push turns to shove. There are about 400,000 adults buffalo in Africa."

What a coincidence  :-??

Got today's in three, but the first word I used was favorable for this particular word, which is obviously lucky.

On a different but related subject, have you ever "forgotten" to do a wordle puzzle in a given day? That definitely happened to me a couple of weeks ago, which ended an active streak I had at 95 days in a row. That was frustrating, but obviously there are bigger problems in life. The funny thing is, I literally had it almost happen again today, and I only remembered to do it because my wife mentioned something about it. Seems to me that if I don't do it within 5-10 minutes after waking up (which is when I normally do it), I run the risk of forgetting about it completely, as it is not going to be top of mind once my day gets rolling. Kind of funny how that works.

I "sticky" web pages across the top of my browser that I use every day (Firefox) so I see TD Ameritrade, BBH, Wordle, Daily Sudoku, news links, my banks, insurances and so forth so I pretty much open all of them accept my banking and insurance sites. It keeps Wordle open til I close it so I never forget. I have noticed later in the day that the site is still open and I would've forgot it if not on my stickied bar

I'm back and a new streak has to start somewhere so today is the day.

I had 3 letters after my first three words and just wanted to put in a few unused letters and viola, got it so accidentally it scared me.

In 4.

Three today, but had two yellows and two greens in the second guess.

So much of this is how your first two rows go, and there is definitely a luck factor with those two rows.

The cruise was great, as they all are. My darling wife's theory is just get her on a ship and she's happy and you know the old adage, Happy Wife, Happy Life.

We cruised out of Baltimore and went to Bermuda and the Bahamas. Funny, we have done well over 25 cruises and this was our first time in Bermuda. Just a wonderful port.

Hey anytime you want to join us, we could organize a BBH cruise.   ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

The word is more common to adults who have teenage children...or even younger, but mostly teens. If you haven't had arguments with your kids over the amount of time they spend playing games on the computer, the word is probably pretty unknown to most. At least, that's what I think

I know the word. I neglected to use the first letter which I had in another place and it was the only place left to go. Instead I used other first letters when I had the actual letter.

I have noticed that in general most of the words are true 5 letter words.  In other words, they generally don't take 4 letter words and add an "s", "d", or "r" to the end of them to create the 5 letter word.  That is what challenged  me a bit with today's word

Yes and no

When we think of the word without the r on the end we tend to think of the noun.  However, if you consider the verb (which is what you add "r"s to) form it's not a drastically different word

Took me five today. I had CAPER on the third guess, and then MAKER on the fourth, before getting it on the fifth.

I thought it was a trickier than normal word today. Obviously, it's a word we all know, but it just didn't feel like a typical Wordle word, if that makes sense.

I got it in 2 today which is the first time in weeks that I've done that. Of course, it helps like crazy when you get 3 yellows and a green with the opening word and they can only be rearranged to make one word that makes sense. In fact, when I clicked "submit (enter)" I already knew that it had to unfold one green after another

It's always about the first word and luck  :yes:

I got it in three. I used up all the most obvious letters so by the time I got to the third try, I could only come up with one word that used the two letters I had (albeit, in the wrong position). I wracked my brain trying to come up with any word with the sparse letters I had left to work with. As always, there's a little luck involved

Today's word was tough for me.  I mean I had the last letter and three other letters out of position but for the life of me, I couldn't think of a word that fit the letters I had to work with (minus the ones I knew weren't there).  I had to step away for a few minutes and come back to it before I thoughtt of it (I often find this an effective tool when I am stumped by any sort of problem, step away and come back to it)
Title: Re: Exercising that blob atop my shoulders
Post by: DaveBrown74 on May 23, 2022, 09:49:47 AM
Today was annoying. I had three greens on the second guess, and yet it still took me all six tries. In hindsight, I really should have had it in no worse than five, as my fifth guess was foolishly a more obscure word than the correct word (not the first time I have done this). But definitely a struggle for me today despite having plenty to work with early in the puzzle.

I had the same problem and struggled to come up with the word. By the fourth try, I had three greens and no yellows and I had to really think to come up with a word...I think smoke was coming out my ears. Anyway, got it in five but was starting to worry. Weird because it's a fairly common word IMO

Took me 5, (and a lot of thinking), but, as was said, not an obscure word, just problematic. My problem was, for the most part, I had the E in yellow,a nd the I in green so I
was trying to put it in the 4th slot and not at the end. When I finally did that, the word appeared.

After I typed it in and hit enter I realized there's a bunch of other words that would have fit that were a lot more common and a lot more likely. So once again, stupid luck

Same here. First choice I had two letters out of order. Second choice I got the first letter right and the other two that were initially out of order were still in yellow. But rearranging the two initial letters that were out of place, it just hit me so when I put in my third guess, they all flipped green. Feels good to get a tough word in three tries

I don't think the word is all that obscure.  I think there are certain tactics they use to try and make it harder.   Using letters more than once is one tactic.  Having words start or end with uncommon letters is another.   Unusually letter pairings are another.  Words that contain uncommon letters are another.

I like crosswords, but obviously not as good as Bob who does the Sunday NY Times crossword...whew - can't imagine  :no:

I used to try to do the NY Times one when I was flying every week for work. Could never finish one though. Always got a kick out of finding the crossword already done and completed and in ink  :what:

My mother does the daily crossword (not the Times one, just the local paper) then hands it to me later to finish what she couldn't do. It's a carry over from what my father and I would do. We also do crypto quotes which I've been pretty good at over the years. My daily brain exercise though is Sudoku. I do the daily challenge and as long as I finish in the top 100 I feel my brain is functioning properly. It usually takes me between 2 min 15 seconds and 2 min 45 sec. Done it several times in less than 2 minutes. On days that it takes me more than 3 minutes I figure my brain is off for the day. When it takes over 4 minutes, I might as well go back to bed. The daily challenge is done at the "easy" level, so flying through it requires looking at the whole board with peripheral vision having a good idea knowing your next move before you've even finished inserting the number. When I'm not doing the daily Sudoku challenge, I do the "medium" level where I average around 4 minutes. Sometimes I go to expert, but rarely. I primarily do Sudoku to take a quick check on how my brain is working for the day. For the record, if you play Sudoku on the following site that I use, if you put a number in the wrong box, it adds 15 seconds to your score

https://www.247sudoku.com/sudokuMedium.php (https://www.247sudoku.com/sudokuMedium.php)

The nice thing about the 247 site is you can also play chess, checkers, backgammon, mahjong, etc...

I also do Sudoku almost every day. In our daily paper, they get progressively harder each day, so I don't even bother with Mon-Wed. but on Sunday, I get it about 1/2 the time and feel great when I do.
For whatever reason, Math was always my best subject and English (vocabulary) my weakest, so my Wordle adventures I enjoy. If they ever moved to 6 letter words, I would be out in a minute and throw a Jumble at me and I could sit and stare at it all day and never get it.

Got it in two today. My first two in about two months or so and only my third two in the official puzzle (ie not counting the practice ones) since I started.

I don't think this was an easy word at all, but my first word really helped me. So definitely some luck today. This is normally the type of word that would take me more guesses than average to get.

My biggest challenge was I knew the word because I had 1 green (the first letter) and 4 yellows but it was figuring out how to spell the word I knew it was.

4 for me also. I was in the same situation as Ed. I had 4 yellows after 3 words and just stared at it for maybe 5 minutes and then it sort of appeared.

On a side note, I am very negligent in doing this every day. Things come up and I always seem to miss a day here and there especially when we are traveling so my longest 'streak' is only 15, which I am at again today. Barring anything really out of the ordinary, I hope to continue extending my 'streak' until I forget to do it again.

Since you had all the letters and only needed to unscramble them, you weren't in danger of getting the 'other' word.

But, if you drop the last letter, what's the first word that comes to mind?

Not the hardest one compared to some of the others recently, but it still took me four. One of those ones where missed by one letter (in this case the first letter) on one guess and there was basically only one other possibility for the next one.

After two attempts, all I had was the "H" and it was in the wrong place, but with the letters I had left to work with, it was pretty easy to figure out what the last two letters were and since the only vowel left was an "E", I was lucky to get three green in the right place (BTW, my third attempt was "teeth") - hope I'm not spoiling it for anyone.

Interesting article I found about starting words:

https://kats.coffee/blog/wordle
I saw this before. Actually, I think Len or Ric (or someone else) posted here, if I'm not mistaken.

I actually use RAISE as my starting word. It's funny that the article mentions other words with those same letters and the reasons to NOT use them. I specifically chose RAISE because I figured more words start with a consonant, as the article mentions, but to also get as many vowels as I could. I also do the Wheel of Fortune common consonants (RSTLN).

I have come across a few Wordles that didn't have any of my first word letters. In those cases, my second word is either COUNT or CLOUT, depending on how I'm feeling.

Took me 5 attempts this morning and I had few letters left to work with. Was wondering what I was going to do if the word I tried wasn't it  #:-S

I no longer have a regular starting word so I go with the first word that comes across my mind. I used to use GIANT alot as well as STRIP, STACK, SHIRT, etc., to eliminate s,t,r which are the most common consonants...I think. This morning I started with DRINK when I took my first sip of coffee. I'm not sure there's any way to "beat the system" with Wordle. It's a combination of taking your time and a little luck a lot of times IMHO

As I have said, I use HOIST as my first word. Probably not the best choice as most words won't start with an H, but it has worked for me so why change?

Today, with my first 3 words, I only had 2 letters, one green and one yellow. I was scared seeing my streak ending right here and now. So, I looked for my 4th word to have as many of the letters I haven't used and tried them in a word and low and behold, I had all the letters correct except the first one. It was easy to find the right first letter, so 5 for me today and I'm happy with that.

Today was sort of funny.   After my 3 establishing words I had only 2 letters both out of position.  I was trying to think of another word I could use to get a few more letters and the word I came up with was the actual word

I was like Rich, after my 3 regular words I only had 2 letters, so, as I did yesterday, I looked for a word that had some of my unused letters and because I guessed right, when I put in the first 4 letters I saw a word using the 5th letter and it was it.

Sometimes luck plays a bigger part than being smarter.

Really wasn't a hard word just not having many of the most common letters is what throws most off.

Yeah...when there are several options for the last letter, we will usually try all legitimate words except for the letter that has already been used..LOL

Seems as if I am always the last to do this every day. Maybe it's because we don't get up till 9, eat and do my morning sudoku and crossword, read the paper, and THEN, get on here to 'exercise my brain' some more.

Anyway, I had 4 letters (2 green, 2 yellow) in my first 2 words. I was going to go for it, as Tim suggested, as I saw a word that fit right in there, but I again went weak and did my third regular word. (which had zero letters), so on 4, I went with the word I thought and it was it.
Call me weak, but I felt if I missed on 3, then I had to do my regular word on 4 and that would only leave me 2 guesses.

If you can understand all of that, 4 for me today.

I went the opposite approach to Lenny.   I feel if you get 4 letters in your first 2 guesses you're sort of obligated to make a proper guess on three

5 for me also. i had the last 4 letters and there were a few decent possibilities for the first. I guessed wrong a couple of times.

For what it is worth and I know I do this the hard way, but when I go on this Wordle, I always used the link provided by Ric in his initial post. It takes me to the page saying it is now the NY Times and gives the link for Wordle.

Is this what everyone has been talking about?

I think most people do Wordle on their phones instead of their home computer. As for me, I do absolutely nothing on my phone except make calls, take calls, and on occasion read/type a text message....oh yeah, and take pictures sometimes when a camera is not handy. Most people I know use their phone for just about everything that most do on their computer. As for me, I only use my PC in the living room. I need a full size keyboard to babble on as I do because I'm brevity challenged. I was getting the message you stated, but I simply changed my Wordle button on my "most used" list to the new link and it works just like the old link without the annoying message that it is changing to NY Times

Since I don't use my phone for Wordle, I am not familiar with the issues they are facing. I assume a lot of people use their phones to play the game as they can send a picture of their attempts that is filled with question marks, yellow spots and green spots. I can't do that on my PC and have to take a snapshot of my finished product then copy and paste a block of color over the letters - tedious, but works

We should start a club as the only people who can't live without their phones.  :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

We are so alike in that I do exactly as you, use my phone for phone calls, an occasional text, and a rare pic or two. I am IT blind. We even swear by the same phone provider--Mint Mobile, as it is perfect for us limited users and for $15 a month, you just can't beat that.

I'm not IT blind as I have a minor in computer programming (back in the day when you used teletypes and compilers...LOL) and I also used to program machinery in machine code and was the company guru on MS Exel, and a variety of programs (DBase, etc). I just got to the point where I hated re-learning the same thing every couple of years or so when the software upgraded. When I programmed machines it was on a teletype, then I got a real computer and programmed in early MS-DOS on an 286 cpu with a math co-processor that I demanded when it was ordered. It had a huge floppy disc and a whole MB of memory...LOL. From there it was each iteration up to Windows and every software program constantly changing. After 30 or more years of re-learning everything I already had learned, I just got sick of it one day and said "no more". If I had my druthers, I'd still be using Windows 98...but I don't, I'm still on Windows 10 because I don't want to start again on 11. Only reason I have 10 is because Microsoft stopped updating 98 so it became a security problem.

Anyway, I digress. When it comes to phones, I had one of the very first cell phones and went through all the old styles. I used to proud of having the first flip phone (Motorola StarTAC) in the company - the ones you had to pull an antenna out of to make or receive a call. I've gone through at least 20 phones (probably more)  since then and I hate them all. The only time it rings is when I'm in the bathroom or at a checkout in a store or I'm in a serious conversation. If I didn't need a phone for emergencies or keeping in touch with my kids, I wouldn't even have one

Anyway, in my old age I prefer a big screen, a full key board, and a phone that doesn't ring and keeping the same software

Dittos for me. Got it in four, but really struggled for a long time to finally get it right. All I had after three attempts was the first letter right and a vowel in the wrong place. I had pretty much used up any consonant that could possibly work with the first letter so when the word occurred to me, I was almost certain in had to be right...whew  #:-S

Since I am a complete nerd at anything computer related, usually finding my way by trial and error, as I said in my post the other day, I usually get to Wordle by the link in the OP. Today that link did not work, so I went back and saw how to get there, and I succeeded. But I was trying to get this link somewhere where I can access it easily and I simply cannot see how to do this. I saved it to my favorites, but does that mean I have to open my favorites, find the link and go that way? There has to be an easier way.

As with Ric, I only play on my desktop.

We are traveling once again, so my streak on my desktop is over.I have to play from our lap top and I don't get on every day, so there are no streaks, just words.

Today, it took me all 6 lines, as I had a brain fart. I had the first letter and just didn't see it. I had the next 4 and was playing games trying to find a word that fit and no luck. Then I saw the D in yellow and hit myself in the head. I should have had it in 4, but again, it took 6.

That's a bummer Tim. I killed mine the other day with GOOSE  :boooo:

I was lucky today because of my first word that put me in the right direction for solving. When I got it on the 4th try, I seriously didn't think it was even a real word and expected it to come back with "not a word". I thought it was strictly a colloquial term

I had to look up the word.  As we know the word, it is slang.  However, as a word in the English language, it has a different meaning.

I got today's in three, and it certainly wasn't a difficult word, although I felt a bit lucky to get it in three as it could have been three or four possibilities for me. This was one of those ones where with less luck but not necessarily less skill I could have had it in five or even six.

On a separate subject, I have been exclusively using SERAI as my starting word for the past week or two (since I posted that article here about starting words) and have moved away from ADIEU. I can't say I have seen an obvious change in my results, although not much time has gone by since the change so it's too early to say. I will say though that I miss having four vowels resolved out of the gates. I feel like if nothing else that often gives you more of a base or "skeleton" of a word than you get by having more consonants, even common ones like S.

Of course, the numbers are what they are, and the numbers say SERAI is much better than ADIEU.

When I first started doing Wordle, I'd use as many vowels as I could, but I gave that up a long time ago. It's the consonants that are important because if you get a couple of them right, the vowels just seem to fall into place. So I take the first word that comes to mind and I prefer it to have S,T,R,C,H,N in them. Ex. "STRAP", "CHORE", "TRICK", "CRUST", "STING", etc. When my mind hasn't woken up, I often start with "GIANT". I prefer to use as few vowels as possible because they will fit in soon enough given there's only 5 of them.

Can't wait to hear all the whining when the word of the day is "QUEUE" - that one will break practically everyone's streak LOL

Sounds like the article you posted a bit ago.

Same letters in RAISE, which is what I use, but I can't think of many words that end with 'I'.

Since we have the same letters to start, we both got zero correct letters. Out of curiosity, what was your second guess? Mine was COUNT and it took me some time to come up with a word based on what was left. Surprisingly I was able to get it in three as well.

I'm not going to do either one of those. About 3 rungs on a ladder is my aerial limit.

You look like you had the same situation as me - I had the last 4 letters after two tries, but still took me four tries to solve. Three possible first letters and I tried all of the possibilities except the right one  ~X(

Ditto.

Had the last four letters in green on the second guess, got it in four. Same exact thing.

That example wasn't from the original Wordle, but I suppose it could end up being a word on there someday. This is an extreme case where there are 8 correct answers if you get the 4 letters "_IGHT". I don't know how many words have the last four letters the same, but 8 possible first letters as a valid word. But you are right that if that word comes up...it's a guessing game and a streak breaker  ~X(

I had a thought:

There are generally the same 5 or 6 folks who play daily. We all start with different words and therefore, the path to the correct word is different.

What if we, as a group of regular players, decide on a starting word that we all begin with?

I think that would spice it up a bit. Thoughts???

You are a competitive type aren't you Tim?  =))

That would put us in direct competition with each other. I wouldn't mind trying that if I had a second sign in for Wordle that didn't effect my morning brain wake up call while the coffee is brewing and in which I compete against myself. Like golf (I suck at it) and my partners always want to play "dollar a hole" etc., when for me, I am competing against myself. I know exactly what to do, but getting my body to do what I know it needs to do is my personal challenge. And like many duffers, I hit just enough gorgeous shots to keep coming back to the game and torturing myself. I get filled with confidence after a pretty shot, only to "skull" or "slice" the ball on my next shot  ~X(

Anyway, in short. I am not a particularly competitive person and enjoy most games as a challenge to myself. Now a game of pool, or shuffle board...that's a whole other story. I love to compete in those activities as it is something I'm actually good at. I've played a few games of "cornhole" and I think I could be good at it too, but my buddy who I hang out with on weekends won't play the game with me for no other reason than the name of the game..  =))  =))

Why yes, yes I am! Thank you for noticing!  :P

If you do Wordle on your phone, you can open an alternate browser and it will start a new session.

If you do it on your PC/MAC browser, you can open a window in Incognito/Private mode and it will do the same.

I absolutely LOVE cornhole! There's a league here in Delaware that I'm itching to join. Got to free up some time from other activities first.

Three today. Determining what the last letter had to be after my second guess was the key on this one for me. Once I made that determination there really weren't any other options I could think of. Not exactly a common word, but it's still a word everyone knows.

I could not believe my luck. My first word is usually HOIST and the second is READY. But with a brain fart, I put in my second word first, and to my utter amazement, 4 greens.

It took me a few minutes to decide what should be the first letter and even though I don't even know this word it sounded right.

When I opened this board to see if everyone was going through the same thing that I am, I figured there'd be a dozen posts that their history had been wiped clean, but not seeing it

I don't know what happened. I downloaded an upgrade to my browser yesterday which cleared out history so that must be it. So, I'm starting all over again from scratch  :-??

Strange. That did not happen to me. Must have been the fact that your history was cleared.

For me, again, using Tim's great advice, I went for it on 3, and really it was a no-brainer though. I had 4 of the letters and no vowel with 2 lines, so getting it on 3 was a piece of cake.

Yeah, horrible word. Got if in 5 and felt lucky that I did. I had the first three letters by the third attempt, then when through the gamut of trial and error with the handful of consonants left to work with. Over and over it flashed as in "not a word". Finally threw in the double consonant that was left and lo and behold it flipped green. Never heard of the word in my life and had to look it up to see if it was a real word. It was  :-??

After my three establishing words, I looked at the vowel situation and realized that I had to be dealing with a double letter situation.  With that in hand, I was able to work out the word (which I had heard before, but not in quite some time, the usage is a bit archaic at this point)

I blindly guessed the first three letters correctly in guess number two so was able to get it on the third guess, but it took some thinking. Agree with your characterization of the word. It's not a word anyone uses in everyday speech or even everyday writing. I haven't seen it in ages. If these guys are choosing words like this one and cacao now, the game has definitely gotten harder than it was three months ago.

Yeah. My friend who boasted that his streak had never been broken lost that streak with CACAO. My streak right now is a whopping three because for whatever reason, my history was wiped out. I thought for a while that my streak was going to end after only two wins long  :Faint:

Same here. This was way too easy when we all first started doing it. Mixing in words like cacao, smite, and today's word has made it more challenging and hence more interesting.

I only had 3 letters after my first 3 tries, used a word to incorporate some extra letters for 4, and saw a possibility for that word and got it in 5.

I have used this word several times, especially when describing how I used to bowl.   :yes:  :yes:  :yes:  :yes:

You can add me to that list because I had the same green and four yellows in the same order. I know exactly what word they used because I used it too. After that, it was just a matter of rearranging the yellows into a word that made sense

I didn't get it. I thought of the word based on the letters remaining but had to look it up, so I consider that a miss. I didn't know what this word meant. Or if I once did I certainly didn't remember this morning.  Not my area of expertise by any means.

I like that Wordle has gotten harder though. It was kind of silly when you were a virtual lock to get it in four or less most mornings.

When my history was cleared ten days ago, it cleared my Wordle history so I started with a blank slate. I thought I was smart because the first day I got it in three, the second day I got it in TWO  :ok:  :dance:

Since then I got the word in five tries five days in a row and the last three days I needed all six tries to get the word. Egret, Lilac, and then today took me six fricken tries  :doh:

You know, when I finally got the word, I couldn't believe it took me 6 tries to get it as I thought
WOW, most will get this in 3-4, but on reading I see it WAS tougher than I really thought.

My problem with words like these is I rarely get the first letter and that sort of makes it a bit more difficult. But, as was originally intended, it's meant to get the brain working and today's word sure did.

Judging by your pattern, your 5th choice of words was the same as mine and used the "Y"

 No, I usually use the Y in my second word READY. In fact, on my 5th try, I had WIELD. and from that, I was able to scan my unused letters and the F was the logical choice on 6.

Got two with the next word and it made it a bit easier having the L as the second letter which automatically eliminated many of my unused letters for the first letter. Once I got the first letter with my 4th guess, it was unusual, but then there was nothing else.

Your pattern was very similar to mine. After three attempts, I only had two green (2nd and 3rd squares) and no yellows. My fourth attempt I had the first three squares in green leaving almost no letters to work with and then the fifth time was a charm. Great minds must think alike  :Chestram:

I was less than thrilled myself after going 0-2.  Clearly the people running the puzzle are aware of the tactic of using establishing words and they know what words are popular

Took me five today as well. Mildly tricky one today depending on how the letters unfolded for you.

I made a dumb error today however in moving an already green letter in a subsequent guess. That may well have cost me a guess.

I'm on fire and got it in two for the second day in a row. Surprised even me  :Faint:

Like yesterday, my first word pretty much made it hard not to solve it in two tries. Picking a lucky word out of the gate makes a lot of difference. I don't even know what made me pick the word I did other than I'm currently shopping for tires for my car and it's the first word that crossed my mind. Pure luck

I don't want to pat myself on my back because I'll turn around and get fives and sixes for several days in a row because for whatever reason, I have a hard time getting it in three or four attempts as you can see:

This was one of those words that everyone knows but actually getting it was a little tricky for me. Guess number five took me a few minutes.


BTW, does anyone know anything about "hard mode"? If you go to the upper right corner of the screen on the desktop (maybe on IPhone too, not sure), and click the "settings" wheel, there is an option to switch on "hard mode." It says "Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses." I'm curious if anyone has tried that.

Interesting strategy to go purely for maximum letter elimination in guesses two and three and not try to place the yellow letter. Seems like it worked.

Unless I get 4 letters (misplaced or placed) I tend to use all three establishing guesses.  I suspect it might increase my average number of guesses, but I think it decreases the number of failures.

If you go to the upper right corner of the screen on the desktop (maybe on IPhone too, not sure), and click the "settings" wheel, there is an option to switch on "hard mode." It says "Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses." I'm curious if anyone has tried that.

I wasn't aware of that mode, but I already ALWAYS use revealed hints in subsequent guesses. I don't use process of elimination, but come up with a word that I know a letter - be it yellow or green - will be in my next guess. Never thought of using it any the other way  :-??

I figured there'd be a few people whose streak ended today. I brought up this situation a couple of weeks ago. Even if you get the last four letters right on the very first try, there are at least seven words that use those four letters in a row and it comes down to getting the first letter right with nothing to go on except guessing and hoping one of the seven is right

5 for me today

Used the strategy on guess number four of sacrificing a guess to figure out which letter would be in the first spot (by using a word that had most of the possible letters), as there were more remaining letters that fit than I had guesses. I never seem to guess right on the first or even second guess in these situations, so this seemed like the sensible play.

Agreed, and to your point that you made the other day, given this game is an ongoing marathon where your number one goal is to get as long of a streak as possible, sometimes avoiding the outright streak-ending loss and settling for something like a five is the better play than risking a loss while trying to go for a three or a four. If you see a clear path to defeat due purely to being unlucky in a process of elimination exercise, to me the better move is to just sacrifice one guess to assure yourself of not suffering that fate.

Post by: Jolly Blue Giant on July 12, 2022, 10:40:46 AM
Assuming the usual gang has reported in, I will post a Wordle (not the NYTimes one) that I did a few weeks ago and posted about 10 pages ago because I was stunned at the options and hoped one of those words were never going to be the solution in the NY Times one because it relies on so much sheer luck. There are certain words that takes blind luck to get the right answer and this is a perfect example:

(https://i.postimg.cc/CL7ZQtTy/Clipboard01.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)

Notice I got 4 greens on my very first attempt, which is insanely unusual in and of itself, but I digress. Yet even knowing the last 4 letters of a 5-letter word, it took me 5 attempts and I finally "guessed" right out of sheer luck. There are 8 words that are all common words using those four last letters, but start with a different letter. In my case, I went through the gamut of L,F,R,S, and M. But I could've used "T", "E", or "N" which also make up a common word (TIGHT, EIGHT, NIGHT). Worse, there are two seldom used words "pight" and "wight" that fit the solution...pight being the past tense of pitching a tent as in "as the sun went down, at least the tent was pight" and wight (a spirit, ghost, or supernatural being), a term that is used in the Bible and in other forms of literature. Thankfully, those last two literal words weren't the solution or everyone would have a broken streak

In all, there are 10 word options that fit this scenario, 8 which are commonly used and since you get 6 tries - it's all about luck

Hope that makes you feel a little better Bill. I feel for you  :( 

When I got the word this morning in 5 tries, I knew about this particular set of letters and figured more than a few people would end their streak. Hell, it took me 5 tries and I started with 4 letters in the correct spot  ~X(

Post by: LennG on July 12, 2022, 07:44:41 PM

When I have limited letters after my first 3 words, I look at my remaining letters and try another word, using s many of them as I can. I had the 'N' somewhere in the word but not as the 1st letter. As soon as I tried it there, the right word was evident. Sometimes, as you say, a matter of luck, other times a certain strategy--both work hand in hand.

Guess number two is always a key guess for me, and there is clearly a luck element to it (barring situations where you get a lot of good info from guess one). If you only have say one yellow in guess two, it's generally going to be pretty tough to get it in even four let alone three, and that happens sometimes even if you make perfectly sound guesses in the first two.

When Ric originally posted the thread, he said it was meant to get your brain working a bit every day. Some days more than others, like today.

Just my strategy today. I had a yellow D and a green E. I figured there had to be another vowel and since all others were grey there had to be another E, but where. I again tried to use some unused letters and got no where, but I knew my D couldn't be 1st, 2nd, or 4th. I knew the second E had to be at the end, so I spent time arranging and rearranging until it just popped out, Once I saw the W, E and knew the last letter as an E, then it was easy. But it did accomplish the original intent, to get the brain working in the morning.

I had an idea the other day for this thread that I forgot to mention yesterday:

Just a thought, but since this thread is basically the same 4-5 people every day, would it make sense to have an agreement that spoilers (ie talking about the actual word) are permissible at any time, in order to make the discussion less cryptic and more interesting? I mean, just posting results with no letter or word discussion seems a lot duller to me than discussing the word itself and you how you got to your result. Obviously, if we agreed to this, then you know to not come into the thread until you have done your puzzle for the day, which shouldn't be too hard to remember.

Thoughts?

I have talked about the word on occasion, but I like to wait until after 4 or 5 o'clock so that it won't be a spoiler. It seems most people have done it in the morning and Lenn is usually the last to post so that is my clue that most people have answered. Tough to wait until 5:00 when you want to discuss the word of the day

Len,

I just had the E on end.  Like you, I figured that had to be at least one more E (maybe two in a possible XeeXe configuration.   Otherwise, the thing I needed was two consonant combos to create to fill in the spaces along with the two Es (I was also thinking about the other configuration).  I play Words with Friends, and "edge" is a handy word that I use often and I saw I had the letters.  So I thought about "edge," and then with the other not ruled out a letter, the answer was there.

Like you said, this was a chance to really give one's reasoning skills a good workout

I really struggled to come up with today's word. I started this morning before 7 and tried several times throughout the day.

I know some of you use probing words to eliminate/reveal other letters and don't always use a yellow or green letter from earlier guesses. I prefer to play the hard mode way and use what was either yellow or green. After eliminating all Wheel of Fortune letters and vowels (except 'Y') I struggled to come up with a legitimate guess.

Along the lines of what @DaveBrown74 was talking about, I did not open this thread because I didn't want any potential clues.

I don't mind that idea. We can set a time, say 10AM. After that, the word can be explicitly discussed. If we haven't played by that time, just know the word will be revealed at that time.

I struggled for about 15 minutes after putting in my first attempt. I had two consonants (1 green, 1 yellow) and considering that I knew the 4th letter, there was only one letter that made sense to end the word following the second to last letter. Then I thought....and I thought...went outside, had another cup of coffee...thought some more...came back and said to myself, "nothing make sense". And then it hit me that there was one word I could come up with that fit the criteria of the letters I had and the letters that were left and at least it would narrow it down for me and "voila". Surprised myself

Nicely done. While this was not some overly obscure word, the specific construct of it made it mildly challenging I though. So to get it in two or three without some lucky first guess is a very good outcome.

My first guess yielded absolutely zero, so I don't feel at all bad about getting it in four, but it's always a nice feeling when you nail a two or a three in this game.

MILD SPOILER ALERT:






Yes, I stopped using SERAI as my starting word and have gone back to ADIEU. I know the analytics state that ADIEU is not a very good word, but for whatever reason I just feel like I have a better chance of getting up and down in four or even three when I have maximum possible vowel info on the first guess. I just see the "bones" of the word earlier this way. I may experiment again soon, but I was getting too many 5s with SERAI, and once I switched back I went back to getting mostly 4s and some 3s.

Well - it's almost 10:00 and Lenn has checked in so I wanted to discuss this word a bit. I was trimming my beard back this morning (always do that during the summertime heat) so the first word that popped into my head was "trim" and if I add an "s" then I get three letters that I like to get out of the way, i.e., S,T,and R

So I got "R" and "M". Having "M" as the second to last letter is baffling. Only "Y" makes any sense as the last letter following "M", but gave it a shot using different vowels as also a possibility. I had the "R", but didn't know where it would go and I kept trying different ideas, none that made a sensible word that ended with "MY". I had already tried words that started with "R", but didn't think of the word that was eventually the correct answer. After walking away a few times and going through my morning routine of reading news, Sudoku, Daily Trivia, etc., I came back and threw in the only word I could even think of and I lucked out

Really weird that have gotten the correct answer in two attempts that is twice as many as my correct response of three attempts and more than my four attempts. So my graph looks like if I don't get it in two attempts, then it's five or six attempts...which five attempts are by far my most common success. Just strange...to me anyway

Brilliant move to take this thread to the next level by discussing how we solved the puzzle rather than just showing our resulting attempts. I think the 10:00 AM is a good rule and all of us who play the game pretty much do so before we go here anyway. Great idea!  :worship:

I looked at my wife and said, "YES! We slept late!"  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

Early on, playing Wordle, I wanted to solve it quickly. I've been doing as you do; taking a step back and not rushing it.

I have had some days where I take an eternity to get the right guess, and then I have had ones where I am done in a couple minutes. It leads me to wonder, which of these two outcomes (on any puzzle, not necessarily today's) do you consider a better outcome:

A. Taking say a full half hour or more to get it in three.
B. Taking under five minutes to get it in four.


Since they don't record time, I guess I would say I'd always rather get it in as few guesses as possible no matter what, but I think it would be interesting if time were part of the equation.

Well, there is a method to my madness (good or bad). If I have a yellow "e" out of place. I assume it's at the end of the word which puts a different vowel in the middle of the word. Secondly, I then think of two consonant beginnings (CH, CL, PH, TH, etc.) and since I had the "r", I figured it has to be combined with another letter, so I thought of CR, WR, PR, DR, and was going to go with DRIVE, but at the last minute, when with drone. Having the "r" in the right place meant it was either PR or WR and I went with PRIME. AFter that it was pretty obvious that it was WRITE, but it wasn't and TRITE is the only word I could come up with that a letter was left to use  :-??

I shoulda (coulda, woulda) gone with WRITE instead of PRIME, but it's still a guessing game when you don't have a lot of knowns

We definitely have very similar methods of choosing words to guess. After my starting word, the word that immediately popped into my head was TRIKE. I thought of a few more words to try but was mostly looking at placing the 'R' in the 4th position. Only thing I could think of was 'SPIRE' but since the 'S' was gray, SPIRE was ruled out.

First I've got to replace the hot water heater.

Also had to buy new tires for my car.

Any good numbers to play??

A word I never heard before. Still have no knowledge of what it means. It was a situation where I knew where 4 of the letters went but had to try different letters until I finally hit the right letter. I think the easy words are taking a break

Thanks, although with the strategy I use (prioritizing vowel elimination), this was the sort of puzzle where I was going to benefit from that. Once I had the main five vowels eliminated and knew there had to be a Y, given I had the T and R at that point there wasn't really much else it could be.

There have been plenty of other Wordle puzzles I have encountered where consonant elimination maximization would have probably served me better.

Stupid word. It's a word I've used hundreds of times because when I was younger, I fly fished all the time and it's a typical word for a fly fisherman. In no other situation can I imagine the word being used in a sentence  :no:

SHIRT
WIDEN
FUDGE
MIDGE

After the second attempt, only a "G" made sense to follow a "D", but the "I" before the "D" made zero sense so I went with FUDGE to prove my thoughts that only a "G" could follow a "D" and an "E" made sense on the end. Once I had the DGE in the right order and I knew "I" was in there....now, nothing made sense. I thought about the years I spent tying midge flies and casting them on the Delaware River, but it's so obscure that I didn't believe it. I entered "MIDGE" just to eliminate the "M" as an option. Imagine my surprise when it popped up right

These dry flies are all midges and make up most of any fly fisherman's dry fly collection. Obscure for anyone except that dude (or dudette) with waders up to the arm pits standing in the middle of a river whipping a fly back and forth while fishing for trout. For those who don't know, some of the greatest rivers in the world for fly fishing are in New York. People come from all over the world to fly fish in the Beaverkill, Willowemoc Creek (a tributary of the Beaverkill), Delaware River, AuSable River, etc. It's a beautiful activity with little to no stress and some of the most beautiful scenery you'll ever see in your life

I believe there was a girl named Midge in the Archie comics. Maybe had a boyfriend named Moose.

Hmmm...I had the last 4 letters and went with "F", then "W" and got it with the only letter left that would spell out a word. I'll be interested in knowing which letter you used (after the 10:00 rule of course) because it means there were four options, not three. And I'm still stumped. Of course, I might have already used that letter so it wasn't an option for me. But it also means I was one letter from breaking my streak that I am not aware of  :-??

We have our 3 grandkids with us this week, 11-year-old, 8-year-old, and a 6-year-old that does not sit still for a minute.  Talk about not having a minute rest.

Just got back from Rye Playland and they are wound and I am exhausted. And then you want me to concentrate on Wordle?????    :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:
Oh you definitely have your hands full! And they're too old to play the quiet game  :P  :P

Sometimes going 0 for on the first guess isn't the worst thing in the world assuming you are lucky enough to do some damage on the second guess. Eliminating five common letters right out of the gate is helpful.

I wondered if some of the quoted responses with huge attachments from Twitter or multiple quotes might have something to do with it.

Exactly what I did. I kept thinking "it has to be APART", but I had already used "P", but I couldn't get my mind off it. Same thing, when I looked back at my available letters to try each one. The first letter to try in the list is "Q" and I slapped my forehead and did the "duhhh"  :doh:

I screwed up the first one and it didn't post the words. I had a good first word and the U out of place like you did. I figured the word wouldn't start with a U so with the letter eliminations it was a quick guess. I wasn't busting your balls.

MINOR SPOILER ALERT:







I don't have any sort of numbers that can support whether this is actually a good idea or not, but I have often found that when I attack the letter Y (ie getting the mystery out of the way by guessing it early in the process), while that may seem like a waste, that is often really helpful. I feel like they have been using Ys a lot of late. We had today and had that COYLY word recently, plus a number of others in not distant memory.

Hard word today. By the time I solved it, there wasn't a single word I could think of with the letters I had left. Took me about 10 minutes trying to come up with anything that made sense. All the vowels were gone except for "E", so a "Y" had to be in there somewhere and the only consonants left with a chance were "H" and "M". A real brain workout...for me anyway

Not a good performance on my part today. I even made the sloppy mistake of putting a yellow letter in the same place on the next guess, which is really an error that should never be made. I don't know for sure if that made the difference between me getting this in four or five, but I still don't love the blasé way I approached this one today.

I'm surprised you lost five. You must be around 3.8 without that factored in. I wonder if this is in other languages when I see China having a lower average than the US and Canada. Although there is a city in Minnesota that is less than 3.6. They must have more patience and take a lot longer to solve it.

stare
poind
chink
cling


In hindsight, cling was a much better guess than chink.  I mean chink is a legit word, but it could have caused issues as it's also a slur (although I don't think it's spelled that way, but I am not sure)

I am up at the crack of dawn, but by getting out of bed then I would disturb Doris, so I lay in bed watching what I fell asleep watching the night before, till about 9. Then, by the time I get my aching bones in gear and ready to do a puzzle, it's usually after 9:30.

I know the wives appreciate when her husband gets out of bed to pee...LOL

Reminds me of an episode of Two and a Half Men where a group of Charlie's friends were sitting around talking about the trials of getting old. One of them brought up the subject of having to pee a couple times during the night. They all agreed that had become a problem. The oldest guy in the group said, "sometimes I don't even bother getting out of bed" I laughed so hard I thought I'd cry

Horrible word - I ran out of letters and wasn't sure this was even a word. I put it a half dozen words and it kept coming back saying that it was "NOT A WORD". When I did get it right, I was 100% sure it was "NOT A WORD", then they flipped green  #:-S

Never heard of the word. Only grueling which has no association.

Post by: MightyGiants on August 16, 2022, 11:54:34 AM
I have heard of the word and have even used it.  This is the definition I am familiar with


Gruel is a truly unpleasant food — weak and runny, consisting of oatmeal or cornmeal boiled in milk or water. It's the kind of "slop" prisoners and other inmates of institutions were historically forced to eat.

And hence the origin of "grueling", as back in the day, "to get one's gruel" meant "to receive punishment."

If I had been more systematic in my next guess (and looked at every letter left), I would have picked twang and got it in three.  Instead, I thought, "I can't think of a word that starts "twan" and started with the guess "twank" (no idea what it means).  Turns out it is a word and so I wasted a guess.

SYRUP was an excellent guess.  :ok:  After SPORT, I was trying to come up with a word with 'Y' or 'U'. Had I thought of 'SYRUP' I definitely would have used it.

I don't do Wordle but in the NYT today they have a special puzzle entitled "Extreme Wordle."

I saved it and attached it to this post as a downloadable PDF which prints out to a single sheet of paper.

On cursory examination, it doesn't appear to be exactly like the puzzles you do here.  Regardless, here it is. 

I did solve this particular puzzle (or group of puzzles) and it was a lot of fun. 

The words are mostly common words everyone knows.

Bob

PS. Forgot to mention.... the final column where you write your answers shows only 4 empty spaces (boxes) per word.  There should be 5.  Not my error. LOL

That's interesting. However, all I can do is print it out and fill in the blanks, but no telling if I got it right or wrong  :(

I could see a few "gimmees" in it, like "aught" is going to be "ghost" or "quits" is going to be "equal", but no way to know if I'm right

My biggest question is "why don't you play wordle Bob?  :-??

I'll publish the answers when they are published (I think they said it would be available later in the day.

One more thing: I have a set of answers of my own and want to state for anyone solving...

Although they assert that the answers are all "very common" (to quote them) words, at least one of mine is not what I'd call common, but it is indeed a word.

Jolly: There is a way to tell if your answers are correct... if they form a five-letter word !!!

According to the instructions (which I've found to be true) there is only ONE possible solution for each word.

Think of Extreme Wordle this way.... you're playing "regular" Wordle and make the guess shown in the newspaper, to which the automated game gives you the answer shown (in puzzle number one, you guess "aught" and the game shows you that there is no "a" or "u" in the correct answer, and the last letter of the answer is "t" and there is at least one "g" and one "h" in the correct answer, but the "g" is not the third or fifth letter and the "h" is not the fourth or fifth letter. 

Now it's your turn to make another guess... and as it works out, there is ONLY ONE possible guess... a five-letter word that fits all the criteria I described above.

Bob
Title: Re: Exercising that blob atop my shoulders (Wordle)
Post by: Bob In PA on August 20, 2022, 12:53:48 PM
Jolly: So far, each of the answers you've proposed is the same as my answer.

The game is not easy. You'll have to really "fight" with it to come up a few.

IMO, each of the 25 gets generally more and more difficult as you progress through them.

Bob

PS ADDED... sorry for the multitude of posts... but I thought of another way to check your answers.  It is possible to incorrectly follow the rules and come up with a word that is indeed a word but it's not the answer.  A way that will MOSTLY work to help you know if you've violated any of the game's rules is the take your answer (for example the word "ghost" which is the answer to #1) and put it into an online anagram program.  Using Google search you just type something like "anagrams for ghost" and if it shows any other five-letter words then your answer is wrong.  In the case of ghost, there is NO anagram for those five letters other than the word "ghost."  That method will almost always tell you if you've got the right answer.

Stressful final two guesses. I counted a total of four possibilities that fit for those final two guesses. Using the trick of sacrificing a guess to try to get the letter wouldn't have really helped here. I had to just guess and hope to be right. Basically a heads or tails scenario going into the final two guesses.

You obviously had the "_ASTE" right fairly quickly. For me, I could see that the solution would end with ASTE, but I didn't try PASTE or TASTE because I already used my P and T that couldn't be used. I thought of HASTE, but went with WASTE as the W is the second available letter on grid...so I lucked out  #:-S

You almost had to get it because I don't think there's a 6th optional word that ends in ASTE...I could be wrong

I have played a lot of Words With Friends.  So much so that I know the point value of most letters off the top of my head.   My strategy, in general, is to use as many low-point WWF letters as possible (in my early guesses) since they are the more commonly used letters.   For example, you see, I start with "stare," which is a collection of all 1-point letters. 

Since I mentioned it, I guess I should post the point value of the letters

A - 1 point
B - 4 points
C - 4 points
D - 2 points
E - 1 point
F - 4 points
G - 3 points
H - 3 points
I - 1 point
J - 10 points
K - 5 points
L - 2 points
M - 4 points
N - 2 points
O - 1 point
P - 4 points
Q - 10 points
R - 1 point
S - 1 point
T - 1 point
U - 2 points
V - 5 points
W - 4 points
X - 8 points
Y - 3 points
Z - 10 points

 Just curious if people are still using the same first word every day, second word every day, or adjust as to how the puzzle plays out.

I am a creature of habit and superstition so I have stayed with my first 3 words unless I have 3-4 good letters from my first guess, then I'll take a stab at it.
Again, just curious as to other strategies.

If you play on the hard level, you have to adjust the second word assuming you get at least one letter.   For me it's the same first word, and I use the same 2nd and 3rd word assuming that I didn't get any letters with my first 1 or 2 guesses

I never use the same word or words each day. When I wake up, I simply think of the first word that comes to mind that usually has an "S", "T" and an "E" or "I" in it - I also like to get "H" out of the way as it's a common follow letter to a bunch of letters. Could be anything. This morning I went with CHIME and I have no idea why that came to mind. Looking back, I am surprised I did not use SHINE instead or HOUSE :-??

There is no rhyme or reason to my madness I call a thought process. Blind luck or total misfortune right out of the gate

You do get to eliminate 5 letters right off the bat though. For you and me, using the same first letters, we narrow the choices significantly.

That's what I was going to say.  If you are playing at the hard difficulty setting, not hitting on any letters with the first guess is offset by all those eliminated letters

I have an app on my phone that allows me to play wordle games without being the official wordle.  I go back and play using my old strategy of 3 eliminating words and I can't believe just how much easier it is.

I feel like I screwed this one up today and blew a relatively easy chance at a 3 given what my first word gave me. My second guess was a little silly when I had words 3 and 4 as possibilities.

As I have pointed out, I go through people's graph and try to figure out what words they used.

Someone wasn't paying attention this morning and put the t in the wrong spot with guess 3 (I actually should have seen it was the 3rd letter because it was the only spot for it).  So I really should have gotten this one in three.

I can assure you firsthand you are not the only one who has done that.

I have started trying to resist the temptation of doing the puzzle before my morning coffee, which seems to help with that a little.

Hell of a night, hell of a morning. Computer fried last evening with everything that is important to me (as far as bills, payments, accounts, a hundred passwords, etc.) gone "poof"...just like that. Ran to town and bought a new computer that I don't particularly like, but at least it works. Stayed up til after midnight setting it up and trying to retrieve lost data. Went to bed, got up at 4:30 AM and am still setting it up. It's almost usable now for much of what I do, but what a nightmare.

Anyway, Wordle word was stupid today IMO - not to mention, I start at ground zero because it doesn't carry over my streak which was close to a hundred  ~X(

Yeah, they do seem to come in groups.

I wonder if the NYT changed how the words are chosen since they bought it. There was a word list floating around prior to the sale.

Anyhow...I was thinking that when I get back, maybe I'll keep a running score card for all of us users so there'll be a daily winner and an overall year (month, whatever) long winner as well as the longest streak. Maybe I can come up with some kind of reward at the end of the year for our very own Wordle Champion. I know it turns this into a competition of sorts, but thought I'd ask you guys about giving it a try when I get back. Tim likes competition so I suspect he'll like the idea. Any thoughts?

I'm up for a friendly competition! However, the challenge (pun intended) is that we all start with different words and not everyone plays using the 'Hard' mode (either forced in the settings or individual integrity).

The winner can add "2022 BBH WORDLE CHAMP" to their signature  =D>  :ok:

Enjoy Florida! we'll be going down there next month for anniversary #29.

Just a question, but do people really come to this thread every morning before doing the puzzle?

It seems unnecessarily excessive to post both your results without the words and then the results with the words post 10am.

Wouldn't it just be easier to agree that it is always fair game to discuss the answers in this thread, and everyone just knows that? What is the point of visiting the thread before you have done the puzzle for the day?

Seems to me if the word "spoilers" is added to the title of the thread, we could be saving a hell of a lot of clutter within the thread, and just as importantly the discussion of the word itself could commence at an earlier hour in the morning, which might be preferable for some people.

Once you guys start posting the words first thing in the morning, I'm out. Quite frankly I don't know why some of you want to know the word choices at all and I've just been doing it in cooperation. I don't want to know the words you choose nor do I care.

I don't visit the thread until after I've solved it.

If I'm on my computer, I'll just edit my post and add my actual guesses. On my phone, it's easier for me to just quote my original, which is what Dave is alluding to causing the extra unnecessary posts. I can just edit mine or post after 10.

As far as seeing the actual guesses from everyone, it's more of a curiosity thing for me.

I would say it's for the same reason that you and everyone else here likes to post your results (even without the word). It's a fun little puzzle and a decent daily discussion topic.

I would actually argue that people's word choices are more interesting than just seeing who got it in 3, 4, or 5 everyday without knowing how they got there.

You were on to something when you noticed the double letter pattern they've been on lately. I made that a priority in my guesses.

My strategy is to narrow down the vowels first. It works the best for me.

I could easily see this one having been pretty tough for me if I hadn't happened to guess the second word that I did. Having two adjacent greens plus another yellow on the second guess puts you in a very good position after that.

This was probably the toughest 3 I've ever had in Wordle. While a 3 is always a good score, if this game were timed or your score was impacted by time taken, I would not have done so well.

Tricky word despite being a common one. To me, those are always the best words in this game.

Just my logic on this one--they very rarely make 4 letter words extended with an addition of an S at the end, so the E  had to go last. Looking at the remaining letters, the S had to go first, and then again, looking at my remaining letters, it was simple at SPADE

Linda got it in one twice in a weeks time. The second time was very odd. She said she was about to guess her 4th try but put it away to catch her train. When she went back in it took her to the first try again so she used that word she was going to use and it gave her a one banger. Anyone ever hear of that happening? Didn't affect her streak or anything.

It helps to get 4 letters out of 5 with the first guess. Just a matter of rearranging letters like playing JUMBLE. There were only two options and the first one that came to mind was a type of sexual deviancy (not sure what that says about me since it was my first thought  :o ), so I went with the other option

FORGE
GROVE (not GROPE)

I will add to what I was saying about @Jolly Blue Giant and @DaveBrown74 and their situation.  I think sometimes it can be better to get no letters on your first guess than get two when those two letters allow for many different possibilities.

I mean I got nothing in guess one and one letter correct position in guess two.  The thing was, I eliminated 9 possible letters which is very helpful

Ric and DB got two letter in the correct spot in guesses 1 and 2, but they only eliminated 6 letters from their guess list which is what creates the challenging situation.

True, and this was also one of those ones for me where my fourth guess was not a good one as I just hadn't spotted the correct word at that point, which even without hindsight was going to be much more likely to be right than what I put in my fourth guess.

Sometimes I rush a little bit when I do this. This was an example where if I had taken my time I think I would have had it in the more satisfactory four guess outcome.

My 4th attempt was FLOUR, which made so much more sense to me than FLOUT. Maybe because I cook all the time and go through a lot of flour. I doubt I've used the word flout in a decade...or even heard the word used by someone else. Only reason I even got FLOUT was because there were no other words I could come up with that started with FLOU_

It's kind of funny; for me, two guesses with no letters are nice.   On the hard level, you can't play establishing words to eliminate key letters.   So when I miss on the first two guesses, I get to essentially play on the easier level

To me sneak or speak were equally likely to be the word, it was just a coin toss which one I tried first (and if I were to bet, I would have bet wrong)

I am reminded of the Seinfeld episode where George Costanza enjoyed great success doing the opposite of what he would normally do

I have no rhyme or reason to my process. I just think of a word, usually with an "e" on the end and put it in. Using the letters I found (if any) I simply put in the first word that comes to mind using those letters. Then I just play it out like "JUMBLE" and try to figure it out. I guess there is some rhyme and reason to my process

ADIEU: I go with this as my starting word everyday. I know it technically may not be the absolute best one, but the way my mind seems to work with words and letters I tend to think it actually is for me.

FILES: First thing I had to do after the initial guess was think about the most likely spot for the I. I thought it was basically impossible that it was in the 5th spot, and I thought it was unlikely to be in the first spot (though probably not impossible). So it was pretty much 95% or higher to be in the second spot for me. Next thing was to come up with a word that used some common letters. F isn't all that common, but L and S certainly are. I was pretty sure I was all set with vowels. So FILES is what I came up with. I know they never do plural words, but I didn't think I had a shot at actually guessing this one in two so I was happy to just get the S in there.

LIBEL: At this point I had the vowels in the right place and knew I had to have an L in either the first or last spot. I couldn't really think of any other words other than LIBEL at that point.

Like I just told Ed, why should I be so upset if I get it in 5 or 6. I am happy to extend a streak and relieved I get some of them like today. Some days you just see things a bit different but the whole idea is to get the brain working.
I Like the idea of explaining the though process especially when I see someone who has 1 yellow and then all of a sudden gets the word with the next guess.

I think you'll find that if you just put in two words and then try to figure the word out, you will get many more threes and less fours. Sometimes I don't use a second word based on what I get on the first word. That's the goal for me but half the time a second word is required.

As a statistician during my career, I can safely say that is as close to a normal distribution on the Gaussian Curve as possible. Ideally, the mean would be 3.5, but with 6 options, that 3.5 turns into 4. And assuming it's impossible to get the answer on the first try, it bumps it down to 5 options in which 4 becomes the automatic mean

Here's mine (I missed a week while I was in Florida a few weeks back so my streak broke and had to start over):

I continue to think of it like golf. Two = eagle, three = birdie, four = par, 5 = bogey, 6 = double bogey, and an outright miss is like having two lost balls on one hole.

Obviously, some wordles are harder than others, but the same can be said about various golf courses.

That's a really good way to look at it...if you're a golfer. They are all Par 4 holes. Therefore, "par" is going to be the most gotten (for lack of a better word). My goal then is to have more birds that bogeys, and more eagles than dbl bogeys. Right now I have more birds than bogeys, but more dbl bogeys than eagles. I need to skew that curve to the left!

Should note: I'm a lot better at Wordle than golf. My Wordle scores would make be a near scratch golfer and I'm not close to being a scratch!

 But that is wrong thinking. As we all know it is all in the words we use. I use the same 3 words continually. Sometimes I get 5 letters like today, so then if I didn't get it in 4, I would not be pleased. If I only had 1 or 2 letters revealed and got it in 5 or even 6 I would be pleased. How can one say they would feel bad about getting it in 5 or 6 if they only turned over 2 darn letters? I would be happy with that.

I just do not agree with the premise that you need to get it in a certain number of tries.

That is why I would love to see the reasoning behind some of the guesses or logic behind getting the words. As I said before, some one had 1 letter and got the word in tow, I find that incredible and would love t o hear the reasoning behind that.

Since I had the first and last letter. I just had to decide which of the vowels would go after the P. Since I had the E in there already and it was yellow, it was pretty simple for me.

weigh (More of a word that helps to eliminate more letters than a guess at what the word was)
biped  (at this point, I suspected the word had the "I" at number 2 and the "e" at number 4, and this seemed like the type of word they like to use)

Lenny, Although I alternate first words I chose TRIAL first. Getting only the "I" out of place, I went with CONES next and the N and E were in place so I knew the "I" was either the first or second letter and after exploring both options I went with MINED next after exploring Y as the last letter and figured only dopey words would end in Y... and then had the three middle letters. I contemplated WINEY, VINEY and PINEY. They were all bad choices but I went with the correct one as a best guess.

Good second guess that pretty much narrowed down my last letter choice to one letter.

RAISE - Always my starting word. I play using the Wheel of Fortune method; most common letters and vowels (RSTLNE).

LINED - With the yellow 'I' and 'E', I was looking for a word with them together like CHIEF, THEIR, or WIERD. The yellow 'I' ruled out CHIEF and the gray 'R' ruled out the other two. Then I started looking for _I_E_ words. I didn't use the 'L' or 'N' from my common letters so I came up with LINED.

PINEY - Looking at the available letters remaining, nothing jumped out for a last letter other than 'Y'. I couldn't think of any other words so I tried PINEY.

I usually try not to overthink my guesses. I tend to go with the first (reasonable) word that pops into my head. If I can't rule it out, I'll put it in and wait for the greens. The days it takes me longer means I struggled to come up with a reasonable word to try. I do play it on the hard level so I do use any letters that were discovered on the prior guess(es).

The third guess took me forever. I put it down and took a break a couple of times before finally getting it. If they graded on time I would have had a bad grade on this one. Did not come easily to me at all.

Like Dave, the correct word didn't come easy and I had to step away a few times.

RAISE

WIELD - Having the same two letters as yesterday revealed, I had to come up with a different pattern as I didn't think they'd go with another '_I_E_' word. Wield came quickly and then the block...

INEPT - The first word that came to mind was 'THEIR' but since there was no 'R' in the word, that was the beginning of my struggle. I couldn't think of any other '_ _ EI _' words so I started thinking of 'I_E_ _' and was stuck. I thought of 'INE_ _' and couldn't get any further. I got drained trying to mentally visualize words with that pattern and just took a break. I opened it back up and instead of visualizing a word, I just typed in 'INE' and the word was apparent at that point.

After my regular 3 words I had basically nothing. So I scrambled and tried to use some unused letters.

Thanks MG - it has been several weeks since I have gotten a 2. As we have discussed here, it helps immensely when you get that first letter plus two more on the first guess. Obviously that's pure dumb luck. But I'll certainly take it.

COUNT - Since I ruled out my first five WOF letters, my usual choice for a second word is either CLOUT or COUNT.
PHOTO - My first thought was a "THO_ _" word but nothing fit. I was pretty sure the 'O' was in the third spot. I looked for other "_ HO_ _" words. Once I added the 'T' to the "HOT", it became a good word to use.

Interesting. In my case, my first word gave me "L,E, and S". Because I had to find a place to use the "L", I didn't get into that conundrum that afflicted you. But I can sure see how it would happen. Wow! Normally when you get 4 letters (in the right place to boot) it's a done deal. Not so fast I guess

That's interesting. I don't think I've ever used a plural word for a guess, but I could be wrong. Won't do it again if I have in the past.
Probably a smart move to change the word list as someone figured out the algorithm to know what each word is going to be in the future and posted it several months ago. I don't know who would use that to cheat, but glad it will be gone

Having four letters and then quickly figuring it out only makes it easy because it narrows down the possibilities. Unless it's one of those words where the first letter has multiple variations. Not the case here.

It wasn't a hard word, just took me a few minutes to think, ponder, doodle a bit, and viola, there it was. I am really not good at sort of scrambling and unscrambling words. Give me a math, or numbers puzzle and I'm all in. In our local paper, the puzzles get progressively harder as the week goes on, but today, I got all the number puzzles, the sudoku, and even the find the mistake puzzle that they put in Saturday's paper. It was like the tri-factor for me something I rarely get.

Quote from: MightyGiants on November 16, 2022, 07:57:32 AMSometimes it is better to be lucky than good.   I  did this puzzle on my phone.   I often hit the wrong letter when typing on my phone.   I had a different word as my third guess but I typed in a wrong letter.   I did spot it but I decided to enter the letter anyway.

I was going to take a shot at 3, but why go against my routine? My third word didn't help one bit, but I got lucky on 4, with what one might call an educated guess trying to use extra letters and rearrange the ones I already had. I am completely happy with a 4.

Just my thinking on this, I wanted to try the R as the second letter, so I have to see what extra letter could be used with the R and have the A as my 3r d letter. On paper, I tried an F, a G, and then the B, and the B went with another extra letter, my V, and there it was.

Huh...I know some people use the same word every day, but I didn't know you did. I'm not all that alert I guess. I have never used the same starting word and always pick a word out of the air. I usually have an "E" in it in order to get at least one letter right, LOL Should've today because I didn't try an "E" until my 4th attempt. And I've used the word DRIVE quite a few times in the past. Had I done it today, I'd have my first hole in one or a double eagle. I'm a horrible golfer - more like hacker, but I have had a double eagle in real life which they tell me is harder than a hole in one. Had a monster drive on a par 5 hole. My second shot caught the sweet spot and I crushed my iron. Couldn't see where the ball landed, but I expected it to be on the green because of all the yelling on the next tee box of guys that saw the shot come in. When I walked to the green, they were yelling that the ball went in the hole. Best shot of my life

How long ago was it?

That was back in the early 90's pre-back surgery and I was getting good. I had a few eagles and even shot a 74 at the PGA course En-Joie. After the back surgery (1997) I accused my surgeon of putting a "hook shim" in my back. Was never the same after that. Now I celebrate when I get a par. Just can't hit the ball straight anymore unless I tone down my swing to the point that I get little distance. But I still love the game and will continue to play until I can't anymore

Took a while. After getting the T I knew the first letter had to be a vowel because S was off the table. I didn't want to burn another word so the third letter had to be an H or a Vowel and if the third letter was a consonant the last letter likely would be a Y. C was not even in the equation until I couldn't figure out a word with the letters left. Very tricky word.

My thinking on this since I had the first and last letter and an A in there. The A had to be the second letter because there is no other letter except a vowel that could go after H and a U just didn't do it. So with H_A and a Y as the last letter, pretty simple.

It took a few minutes. I first tried the D as letter 1 but found nothing. Then the T and with the E as second letter I had the I and D as 4 and 5 so it was a quick process of elimination to get the P in the 3 slot.

I think the reason I got it in three was finding the "d".    My second guess eliminated I as an option and forced the d to be the first 3 letters. Plus, I knew that I needed to come up with a combo of two vowels or two consonants to handle the word ending with "e".   Took a bit took to think of any guesses that met the criteria, but once I did it was the word.

Bam!

Even as I typed the word in, I expected it to come back with "not a word" because UNDO is a word. But I couldn't think of any word with "U" that did not go in the middle of a five-letter word, so I took a shot. I was in a huge hurry because I had to get all the walls painted in my living room before my new furniture came in, so I did it as fast as I could...literally under a minute and no one could be more surprised than me...LOL

@DaveBrown74 and @Jolly Blue Giant

I agree it was a hard word.  However, I think I am not the only one that was essentially forced to get it early based on the letters in the word and the nature of many people's starting words.

I am furthest from being the sharpest. In fact, I am that old tool you have laying in the back but it is always useful. It all comes down to your word/s that you put in. When you gt 3 green with your first word, it kind of makes it a bit easier.

I give Tim all the credit, he had just one green and got i. Now THAT is sharp.

I enjoyed this one. On the one hand, to only have a green and one yellow after three guesses isn't ideal, but on the other hand I had so many common letters eliminated by then. For guess four, I pretty much knew what the last two letters had to be. Took some thinking after that but that was kind of how it played out.

Good one today. Happy to have gotten it in four given my start.

Par here also. Once I had the last two letters, the O had to be in the 3rd slot, With the remaining letters I had left, there were no two that went together and worked with O C K so either a C or K had to be in the first two. Just took a bit of thought but I didn't have a lot of trouble with it.

Highly unusual that most of us got par on this word IMO

Today's word was like the par 4's at the 8th hole at Pebble Beach or the 11th hole at Augusta. You walk away happy with a par on those holes

Two "Ks" with "A", "E", "I" unavailable. I actually expected a few streaks to end today  :what:

Thanks Rich. I have lived in my home for 36 years and a few times a year we loose power for various reasons. Sometimes it will be out for several hours before power is restored. It's worse in the winter of course because of both cold and darkness. It can get a bit miserable after hours without heat. But finally that won't be a problem because of a generator.

Yeah. My approach would be to layup like a par 4 and use a wedge to try to get close. Going for it would be almost impossible to stick at that distance, and the mounded green will more than likely cause the ball to dribble to the water...that is, if you're lucky enough to hit the green in the first place...LOL

A rather tough par four for me personally. Obviously you never feel good about getting anything worse than a 3 or 4 in this game, but I don't feel that awful about my bogey today. I have had many times where I have shot par and felt worse about that than I do about my five today. I didn't have the best of luck with my first few guesses, and I just toiled through the rest of it. In any case, a good brain workout for me to kick the day off.

No one was more surprised than me. I had gotten S,T, and L out of the way, so I went for vowels and tried to come up with a word with O, and I, just to eliminate some possibilities. Shocked myself when it flipped all green, LOL

I also was looking for a Christmas-themed word and for the heck of it I was going to just go with 'Merry' but out of habit, I started with my regular words. I had 4 letters and worked hard to get this word, still thinking Christmas-themed.

I'll settle for the 3.

 You know, we have been doing this for almost a full year now. I liken it to what Dave said, but some days you can look at the letters you have and the word seems to just come out of nowhere, and other days, you always seem to pick the wrong combo. For me, like yesterday, I had a choice of 2 words and I picked the right one, some days we have 4 or 5 choices and can't hit it right away.

To those that keep changing their opening words, truly I don't understand that. I have words that go thru most letters I want to use and stick with them every day, why change them, what does that accomplish? You still need those same letters to be used.
Still, it all comes down to luck. Lately, I have had 3 and 4 letters with my first couple of words and tried to work on those on scrap paper, to find the right combo. I am just terrible at doing this in my head, I need to see them on paper, and my brain works better that way.

Right now I have a 63-day streak going which will come to an end in a week as I will be off on another cruise and will have no internet connection for about 10 days. Nothing I can do about it.

As you know I'm a "keep the first word the same always" guy. I realie that this is boring, but I prefer it because I have various little mental systems I have developed with this game over time and it just works better if I always use the same word. I also don't see the point of using up any time to decide what my first word will be each day. If that makes it more fun for some people, then I get that, but apart from that I see no point.

Well I am the guy who uses a different word every day...and I'll keep doing that. I just like trying something new every day and challenging myself. I do like to start a word with at least an "E" in it, preferably at the end of the word. One thing I have noticed is that all of us are getting better at this game. No one has been skunked in quite awhile  :ok:

I had the O and the D. Now what might come after the D? Of the letters I had left, not one would go after the D and it wasn't another vowel so it had to be another O. Since I had the C as yellow and basically knew where 3 letters went, it was a bit easier then to get Condo.

Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on December 28, 2022, 09:06:47 AMMy second guess was an "ideal" guess. No matter how hard I tried, and I wracked my brain for a long time, I could only come up with one word...and that took me a long time to think of and I wasn't even sure it was a real word  :crazy:

Same here. I started early this morning and just got it. By far the worst guessing day I've had playing this game.

I still don't know what the hell it means.  :surrender:

I really did not have too much trouble with this word considering I had letter 1 from the begining. Not enough letters to get it any sooner than 4.
I knew the O couldnt be in the e slot so that lect me H and A with and O and C. After that it was easy.

We always watch the ball drop, but we are usually immersed in a Twilight Zone marathon, a Honeymooners marathon, or else an Odd Couple marathon which are always on NY Eve and thru NY Day. We watch them all as a commercial comes on for one we switch to another and follow that until a commercial for that--and so on. I think we were up till about 2 AM. We love it.

I think I mentioned it before, but I will again, today (or tomorrow) will be my last contribution until Friday, Jan 13 as we will be off cruising some warm-weather islands. My streak will be over but there is always the next one.

Enjoy everyone.

Actually Lenn, your streak shouldn't be over while you're gone. I found out when I went to Florida for a week a couple months ago. I accepted the fact that my streak would be over, but when I returned, the streak was alive and well. I think the only way for a streak to be broken is submit 6 wrong guesses and fail to solve the daily puzzle. Anyway, enjoy your trip and stay safe

Ouch, while today's word seemingly isn't tough, I thought it might kill a streak or two with the way it can create that dangerous more possibilities than guesses.

Do you find that the worse feeling in the game is when you get into one of those situations where there are clearly more possibilities than you have remaining guesses?

When it's down to the last try and you know at least 2 words that would still work it is very nerve wracking. This game can humble you quickly.

This far and away was the toughest puzzle I had ever solved.  I really wasn't sure I could figure it out.  Not that I was running out of guess options, but more like I couldn't come up with words that fit what I had to work with.

Yeah, Tim's effort was impressive.  For me, it was a double whammy.  I rarely, if ever, use the word, and I also didn't know how it was spelled.

For me...I've had a very bad week with my streak ending, then a sixer and a fiver, so I'm pleased that this week is starting a little better. I've actually used today's word in Wordle several times before in order to eliminate letters and organize what's left. Pretty surprised when it flipped green considering the letters I had right

After fiddling with "Noise" for awhile, I was confused as an "e" is usually at the end of a word and rarely does a word end in "o". Nothing seemed to fit so I put in opera in order to try and figure out where the e and the o could possibly go. In short: luck!

Knowing that a "K" is correct, but "C" is not (as in "ck") made it a real challenge to come up with a word. The "K" fit nowhere except at the beginning of the word, and no word starting with "KNA.." made a lick of sense...at least with letters I had left. I was sure Koala was wrong, but had no other options...well... that my brain could come up with anyway

I didn't think for a second that it was the correct word. I was just eliminating as many high-use consonants to put me in a position to figure the word out. Did the whole thing in under a minute with no other objective than positioning myself to solve it (in another couple of tries). Totally shocked when it rolled green. In short: dumb luck!

Leaving the house and heading to Binghamton so not yet 10:00, but here's my choice of words

PASTE
FLOCK
MUCKY

I got the "CK" on my second guess, and therein was a problem. Pretty much all words with a C and a K are the end of a word. The only vowels I had left were "I" and "U", and I figured the word had to end in "Y". Tried every word I could think of that would end with "ICKY" and nothing fit. So I tried the "U" and immediately wanted to put in "LUCKY", except I already used an "L". MUCKY made no sense, but neither did any other word utilizing the letters I had left so I gave it a shot. Lucky it was Mucky! Never used that word in my life....well, until now

Is this even a legitimate word? I think of it as more slang or an informal colloquialism. It's also not a word Americans say, pretty much ever.

If words like this are fair game then that opens up a lot of possibilities for these guys. I don't personally agree with it. They should use actual real words.

I get that this word is also an adjective but that's basically never used.

I chose Baize over Maize. Had to look the word up. Interestingly enough I was out looking to see which store carried Cardoons. Saw it in an Italian recipe and never heard of them. The stalk resembles celery after peeled but they have a flavor of artichoke. Italians in the old country have secret places where they go hunting to pick them. Now my father used to mushroom hunt but I never heard of Cardoon hunting. I wonder if anyone goes Maize hunting. 😄

Since all the regulars checked in, I got lucky as my second guess had double "e".   With that knowledge in hand, the oddball word was easier to guess.

Double letters are always tough because you don't want to make your picks without eliminating as many letters as possible. I also play Quordle every day and the other day they had "onion", two "o's" and two "n's"...a pain of a word  ~X(

Quordle is run by Mirriam-Webster. There's four words to figure out and it's a once a day thing (although you can practice by hitting the practice button) and keeps stats identical to Wordle

I bet I know what your second guess was. I most likely had the same. I had to go through the alphabet to find a letter that wasn't obvious for the last letter. Pretty sure there are only two letters that could possibly solve the word with the first four being right

Nice turkey by the way

Yeah, not much can be made with those first 4 letters. I was thinking of the actual word but decided to go with my second guess. Not too long ago there was a very similar word that Ed and I joked about. I'll share it after 10.

I guess this is my day. With 3 letters, I figured that the S and H were the first 2 then I had the I, and looking at the letters I had left, this word just seemed to appear. I really didn't put much thought into it.

 You are very correct Rich, but sometimes, when I think the time is right, take a shot. I was sure of the first 3 letters and after that, I took a stab. Call it an educated guess.

Weird solving this one. I had nothing with words 2 an 3 so if I had been more aggressive I could have had it in 2.
I figured the T and H were at the beginning or end. With the I not being 3 it had to be in the 2 hole which gave me 3 sure letters. After that it was easy enough to fill in the missing letters from what I had left.

I wouldn't call it amazing. I had spent the common consonants, "S", "T", "R", "P", "C", "H" and vowels "O" and "U", so there wasn't much left to work with. I fiddled with a couple of consonants, but the first two letters almost had to two consonants in a row and having used "H", "T", and "P", the only consonant that made sense for a second letter was "L" that I had left. My first thought was the word was "FLAIR", but I had already used my "R". I wasn't even surprised when they flipped green

Don't know if that makes sense, but that's how my semi-functioning brain works

Holy cow Tim - is that 55 yours? That is my dream car if I ever had enough money (and a working garage) to build one, that's what would be in my garage. I owned a rust free, dent free 55 back in 1970 and I sold it  :'(
One of many stupid mistakes I've made in my life. My grandson has inherited a 55 2-door Nomad that is already road ready, but needs new paint, new wheels, an interior overhaul, and new leather. I have told him to never sell it because if he does, he'll regret it the rest of his life

Thanks guys! Some of you know I detail cars on the side as a hobby/unnecessary side hustle. One of my customers is a body shop owner. He has a crew of about 5 guys working for him. He first asked me to detail a couple of his clients vehicles, even though the owner's guys detail as well. I think it was a trial run to compare my work to his guys since he offers detailing as an unadvertised service.

Once he saw the quality of my work, he asked me to show his guys how I achieve my results! Anyway, he, his brother and his dad are big into classic cars. The owner's  dad has an auto repair shop right next door to him. The dad is still actively repairing at 80+ years old!  =D>

When I first did the initial vehicles, the blue '55 Bel Air was sitting outside and while it looked great from 25 feet, as I got closer, I could see the swirls. I knew he took care of it himself so I didn't want to insult him by offering to correct the paint and remove the swirls. After he saw what I did with the other vehicles, he asked me to not only do his, but his dad's '50 Deluxe Convertible!

I did the convertible last Saturday and the Bel Air yesterday.

I'll get some pics of both of them another time.

And then, there's his brother. They are currently working on a Chevelle SS. That should be done in May. He also has a mint 442 convertible under wraps waiting for me!

The Convertible has a 3-year ceramic coating.

The '55 has a ceramic-infused wax. It's not a full ceramic but it lasts much longer than a carnauba wax.

Another birdie. I'm on a roll the past 3 days. I was worried with an empty 1 word but then 3 green on 2 and the only vowel left was U. After that this was the only word possible

Luck. For the longest time I have always used the word HEIST as my starting word.
A couple of weeks ago I decided to start using different words to start. I decide what the word will be by watching the local morning news and read whatever is scrolling on the bottom of the screen and when a 5 letter word appears I decide if that will be my word of the day.

Today,for a couple of reasons, I found myself up at 2 in the morning. Didn't turn the TV on wanting to stay as quiet as possible so not to wake anyone. So I sat in my chair and opened up wordle. I said to myself "well I wonder what nifty little word they will use today and NIFTY just stuck in my head. An easy eagle showed up 🤣

If you call that a brain fart, then my brain is passing more gas than a NASCAR pit crew.    Sometimes I get so caught up in figuring out a word that when I think I have it, I get excited and just put it in, completely missing that it doesn't fit what I already know.

I was more amazed than that. With 3 vowels I said let me try the A as the first letter and I figured the E to be last so that really left the O as the middle letter. Then I just said let's use some unused letters and fill in the blanks. Believe me when I say I was absolutely stunned when they all went green. I should buy a lottery ticket today.  Nah

I think it's fair to say with practice, we have all gotten better.  I remember early on when we were just happy to solve the puzzle.  Now we are disappointed if we don't solve the puzzle using only half the allotted guesses.

You are so right. And the funny thing is, we all use a different strategy, and we've all refined those unique strategies. Bill sticks out as having gotten really good lately, but we've all definitely gotten better

I really don't think I am the most improved as I feel I am the most cautious player. Unless I see a chance to get it before I put my regular 3 words in I stick with 'the plan'. I kind of disagree with what Rich said in that we are all getting better, but only speaking for myself, if I get it with a par or even a bogey, I'm pretty content. If like today, I can score a birdie, I am very pleased, but I usually will always work in the framework that I have established. I look at it, as long as I can keep my streak alive I'm satisfied.

I pondered three options (N, P, X) and went with the "N"  >:( 2

It was a coin flip after that, whether to go with P or X, and I figured the board would probably try to make it tougher, so I went with "X" - at least I got a bird out of it

I didn't expect a double letter. I went through my normal routine of seeking out vowels. That took up the first three guesses.

I guess you missed my wordplay.   Like you, I find I don't naturally look at double letters.  I often need to make a conscious effort to include them as options.  It took me longer today as well because the double letter wasn't among my go-to guesses

Funny thing. I had two letters and the right one in the middle made it tough as all the options for the first two letters either didn't fit or had already been used. The correct response was the first word I thought of almost intantly, but dismissed it because I didn't want burn two same letters and didn't seem like a word the game would choose. Five minutes later and my brain starting to hurt, I just put in the word that I thought of first and man was I surprised they flipped green. Luck!

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

I didn't find yesterday's word at all difficult.  Although it's not because I am brilliant or very well educated, it's because I watched and enjoyed-  Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls

Here's the explanation for yesterday's word.
I've chosen a word a few times that was accepted by the game and wasn't the answer but the bot after solving said there was only one word left and that wasn't it. Apparently it wasn't among the game words. The game shouldn't accept a word it would never use as a solution imo. That's when I knew there were all possible words it would accept.

I agree with your point. My issue is that they have a list of over 2000 solutions. They've only used 640+. Why pick a word that's not on the list?

I would think the NYT is using stats to monitor the game.  As the article suggests, they need to walk the fine balance between allowing the game to become too easy with making it impossible.   

Perhaps they saw too many people solving the puzzles over the last few days with too few guesses.  I mean, the prior day, all but one of us had birdies.  So they probably thought the easiest thing to do was toss in a tough one to bust a few streaks and shake things up.

Guano had a few things going for it.  It ended with an "o," which is unusual.   It also uses the unusual "ua" paring.  Plus, it's a word many people may not know.

While I could say my third guess was a bit lucky, when you whiff as badly as I did on your first two, you don't have that many good letters left at that point, so you're kind of in not as bad a position as you think.

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 07, 2023, 08:39:02 AMLOL!  I suspect I was choking.  Today's word wasn't easy after my first couple of guesses and I got it in my head I would blow my 150 streak right at the 150 mark  :doh:
You almost did but even if you missed on five there was only one word left.

Dave. I have no idea what word I will use every day. A lot of time I will be watching the news and a word will appear on the screen or I hear a word spoken and I grab it and use it as my first word. Then a lot of times the second word is one  I'll use just to eat up letters then really try to solve it on the third. Sometimes I get lucky.

I 100% agree, although how many times a year do you say "borax" in common conversation?

Seems like they're moving on to more obscure words more frequently than where they were a year ago.

I will say - doing things like past tenses and plurals seems like kind of a "cop-out" on their part.
Title: Re: Exercising that blob atop my shoulders (Wordle)
Post by: MightyGiants on April 16, 2023, 10:54:47 AM
At work, we had a 2003 Jeep Liberty.   Even though it was a base model, it had high-end tires.   It wasn't a heavily used vehicle, but eventually, the tires started to dry rot and needed to be replaced.  Since the Jeep was getting old and I didn't see us holding on to it for that many more years, I told the mechanic I didn't want rim protectors but I didn't see the point of high-end tires.

Well, once we got the Jeep back, I learned why even the base model came with high-end tires.  The vehicle had engineering flaws (the engine was too torquey and the backend too light).  You had to exercise extreme care while accelerating from a stop while turning as the wheels would start to spin and the Jeep fishtail.  The high-end tires covered up the design flaws.

I think the obscure words are trying to cover up the flaws in Wordle.  The problem was that people would develop skills that would make the game too easy over time.  For example, I am officially at 159 straight wins (there were another dozen or two that weren't captured before I synched all my accounts).   Games need to have a certain level of difficulty to make victories feel meaningful.   Another example would be guys like Bill, who routinely solve it with just half the guesses. 

So when people start the game, it feels like the competitive challenge is pretty good, but over time the game gets "too easy".  I wonder if they should cut the number of guesses down to 5 to increase the challenge level.

I don't mind it being a little more difficult. Anything that makes my brain get more excercise is a good thing. When I started playing waffle, it seemed pretty easy. After breaking my streak twice, I discovered that you really have to think it over before switching letters, or you quickly run out of "swaps". So now I study the grid until I think I know a word, but before I do, I look at the letter options in which I can swap to build the word. You get 15 swaps, and you have to think it through before swapping letters out. I've gotten where I like it a little better than Wordle, but I'll never stop playing Wordle.

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 16, 2023, 10:54:47 AMAt work, we had a 2003 Jeep Liberty.   Even though it was a base model, it had high-end tires.   It wasn't a heavily used vehicle, but eventually, the tires started to dry rot and needed to be replaced.  Since the Jeep was getting old and I didn't see us holding on to it for that many more years, I told the mechanic I didn't want rim protectors but I didn't see the point of high-end tires.

Well, once we got the Jeep back, I learned why even the base model came with high-end tires.  The vehicle had engineering flaws (the engine was too torquey and the backend too light).  You had to exercise extreme care while accelerating from a stop while turning as the wheels would start to spin and the Jeep fishtail.  The high-end tires covered up the design flaws.

I think the obscure words are trying to cover up the flaws in Wordle.  The problem was that people would develop skills that would make the game too easy over time.  For example, I am officially at 159 straight wins (there were another dozen or two that weren't captured before I synched all my accounts).   Games need to have a certain level of difficulty to make victories feel meaningful.   Another example would be guys like Bill, who routinely solve it with just half the guesses. 

So when people start the game, it feels like the competitive challenge is pretty good, but over time the game gets "too easy".  I wonder if they should cut the number of guesses down to 5 to increase the challenge level.

Or impose a time limit (or make the time you require part of your score somehow).

Since we seem to have broken the 10am rule lately with clues, I'll respond now.

I ran out of vowels and major consonants. Apparently Whizz although a word, is not in the WORDLE group of words. Luckily I thought of Whiff and not Whizz first. Lately, I haven't had much to work with in my starting first two choices.

Once I figured out it had to be a "W", whiff was the ONLY thing that crossed my deteriorating mind

Lucky for me, I started with "HORSE", so I knew the word started with "HO", and through the process of elimination, "HOUND" was the only word that came to mind. I did the whole thing in under a minute and no one could be more surprised than me - like a surprise party  <:-P  where the old guy drops dead of a heart attack

I can certainly see how having the last four letters could send one on a wild goose chase...as it apparently did

I expected a bunch of pars and a few birds  :-??

Quote from: Ed Vette on May 04, 2023, 10:40:22 AMYesterday I sent my brother a video I took about nine years ago when he was a puppy, but it wasn't the first word I thought of so I fought the urge or I would have been a bogey too.

I thought of PUPPY, but said to myself, "no way they will put 3 'P's in a word"  :-??
If guppy didn't work though, I was going with puppy

Ric,

To be frank, I think the game is losing a bit of its luster for me.  Some days it is starting to feel more like a chore than the fun little brain teaser challenge it used to be.  I suspect my results may be a reflection of my changing view.

Todays word was very tough for me today. I got to the point where I was ready to just put in any word just so I could end it today. I'm sure you'll bounce back and nail a few to make all of us look bad.

I know the feeling. Sometimes I just say to myself, "this is stupid" when no words come to mind. But I keep reminding myself..."exercise that brain or it will start to die", so I force myself...same with Sudoku, chess, research, etc. My greatest fear, as that I get older, my mind will slowly die. I've been around too many elderly folks who I think the world of, talk like little children in their twilight years. I don't want my kids and grandkids to remember me like that...I know that someday I will just be a picture on a wall for others to remember, so I push the limits of my brain whenever I can to keep the brain fresh

Stare- my usual starting word
Panda- An unusual guess for me, but it paid off by putting the "A" as the last letter
Moola-  couldn't think of many words ending with "A" with the letters I had left.  Stil, directly and indirectly, it gave me the position of both "O"s
Cocoa-  pretty much the only word that would fit

I went with FRIED on my second go round...so I could tell that "F" had to be the last letter as it was the only place for it to go; hence, grief was obvious. Never thought of "BRIEF" or probably would've tried it first, LOL

It wasn't too difficult for me.  I used "stare" as my starting word.  It gave me "t" as the second letter and "e" and "r" (possibly in an "er" ending configuration)  With the "s" ruled out and t as a second letter, it left me with a word that started with a vowel (and not "a")

I hesitated to try "utter" because if I were wrong, I wouldn't have eliminated that many letters, but it did fit...

Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on May 26, 2023, 08:25:28 AMLooks like you and I got into the same single-letter enigma..."P", then "H", and finally "W", the least used letter of that word formation  :crazy:
I actually thought of "SWIPE" first for my second word. That probably would have gotten a bird for me.

Interesting strategy. Normally, after a first guess like yours that gives me one letter, my approach with the second guess is to go with something that has as many very common letters as possible, with the hope of setting myself up with an opportunity to get it on the third try. Maybe I need to change my thinking a little though, as the words continue to get more and more obscure these days.

Thanks. My opening salvo was "SLICE", so I figured the word had to end in "ILE". "SMILE" was out because I already knew that "S" could not be in the word. Pondered using "EXILE", but went with "AGILE" first and lucked out.

Yup, when I got to my last guess, I said to myself, "they are playing that 'use the same letter twice' trick", so I already figured it had to be "hater" or "eater" because I already blew it with "water" and "later", so I went with my gut that they were trying to trick us by using the same letter twice, so I went with "eater". Oh well, it made for a good brain exercise which is the only reason I like playing it every morning

My first guess was "TRUCK" as I mentioned in my previous post.

It came down to "BLINK" or "PLUNK" to me, and then I said, "well, it can't be blink, cuz it needs a 'U'", and the rest is history. Literally less than 30 seconds this morning. So much depends on luck with the first guess. That's why I try a different word every day...well, one that doesn't use two of the same letters anyway. I think there's an algorithm that weeds out the most common first guesses to make it more difficult to solve  :-?? . Regardless, my first guess today was pure freakin luck!

First attempt got the first letter, second attempt got an "E" and a "Y"...all in less than a minute. And then I spent the next 20 minutes trying to think of any word in which those two letters fit. I even walked away and came back after a break, and still nothing made sense. But I finally got it. I think it's an omen that I'm about to lose my streak soon...LOL

I think I know why I had such a hard time.  I see this puzzle as being mostly about letter pairings. 95% of the puzzles involve one or more pairings.  Occasionally you get a word like "maybe" which doesn't involve any sort of letter pairings.  When that happens, I tend to struggle.

I had "M" as my first letter right out of the gate (opening salvo was "MOUTH"), and an "E" and a "Y" next shot (second guess was "MERRY") and for the life of me, I couldn't think of a single word in which "Y" was not the last letter. Like I said, took 20 minutes and walking away from it for the light to suddenly come on...duhhh

At first, I thought it was harder.  As I adapted my strategy to the new limitation, I eventually found that the "hard" setting doesn't really make things much more difficult (if at all)

Bummer Rich. It was a stinker of a word. Seldom is a "Z" or even a "K" ever used, and I'm not sure if there's another 5-letter word in the English language that ends with "OO" (probably, but I can't think of one). Hell, a kazoo hasn't been used in producing music since the 1800s in the deep woods of the south where no sane north easterner would ever want to go...especially if they've watched "Deliverance"...LOL. I imagine most Millennials and Generation Z's have never even heard of a kazoo. I have a feeling that a lot of regulars lost their streak today.

Kicking off the week with a nasty one!

I chose Wahoo first which is a fish in the mackerel family. Fastest fish in the ocean. Linda caught one in the gulf off of Key West and it took her a half hour to bring in. I was impressed that she never gave up. I thought of kazoo too and it reminded me of some idiot who came into our local watering hole playing it and pissing everyone off. Tough word Rich. Could have happened to anyone and I'm sure it busted a lot of players.

Thanks goes to the local news station. Often I choose my first word based on a word I see on the screen while watching the news. Today the topic of "Freedom of Voices" was on the screen and and thus voice became the word. Then the right word was quite obvious. It's just luck.

Very much so.

Also kind of weird to have a bust with zero yellows throughout and two greens after the second shot. I'm certainly not proud of this one, although I'm sort of unsure of what I should have done differently. It's not like any of my guesses were more obscure than the winning word.

I didn't have the "C", but everything else in the word minus the first letter. So I went with Power, then Tower, and I had already used an "L" and "R", so it couldn't be "Lower" or "Rower", so I debated between Mower and Cower. Luckily, I went with Cower, or I'd have busted.

It's interesting how letters out of place in certain positions and letters eliminated can leave multiple options left in some cases and just a couple in other cases. The analysis of mine was that there was only two possible words left and luckily I chose the right one and didn't consider the other.

I will confess- when I solve the puzzle in two, I usually feel lucky.  When I get par I have a stronger feeling that I "earned it" because there is more thinking and strategy involved.

I agree.

With birdies, I usually feel like I had some things go my way in the first two shots, but that I had to at least somewhat put my thinking cap on with the birdie putt.

It always stings to whiff on a birdie putt with three greens already in the bag, but given the word, I can't say I feel that bad about a par today. I was pretty sure I had it in three though.

Yeah I always start with ADIEU, every day I play, without fail. I am not sure if it's technically the "best" starting word, but just personally I like being as in the know as possible about the vowel situation right out of the gates, and that word is as good as any for that.

Yeah I always start with ADIEU, every day I play, without fail. I am not sure if it's technically the "best" starting word, but just personally I like being as in the know as possible about the vowel situation right out of the gates, and that word is as good as any for that.

I picked "stare" because, in Words with Friends, those are all 1-point letters (meaning most common).

A - 1 point
D- 2 point
I- 1 point
E- 1 point
U- 2 point

I used to play with the strategy of trying to nail down the vowels, but over time (and on the harder setting) I moved away from that in favor of just eliminating and positioning letters.

Yeah your approach may be the statistically sounder and better approach for you, but there's something for me about the way my brain works I guess where just having a lot of info about the vowels early seems to help me. I think I mentally have an easier time sounding out options that way. I have tried both approaches and seemed to have better results with the ADIEU approach. Albeit it wasn't a huge sample and I switched back pretty quickly.

I recall from growing up memorizing a list of letters that, I thought at least, comprised the most common letters in the alphabet, in order. The list could be memorized as if you were saying someone's name. The list was:

ETAO INSHURDLCU

I found it on this random article here (third line down):

http://planningwithkids.com/wp-content/2013/06/Hangman-Tips.pdf


So basically my approach is I start with ADIEU, and then after that I'm using as many of those early consonants in that list as I can (assuming I have 1-2 vowels). With average luck, I feel like I usually have a not unrealistic shot at a birdie and a pretty good shot at a par that way.

Quote from: T200 on July 12, 2023, 03:44:53 PMLike Dave, I prefer to target the vowels first.

Not me, the only vowel I make sure I use is "e". Of course, sometimes the first word that comes to mind has more than one vowel (usually two actually), but I don't care what the other one is as longs as one is "e".

When I can't come up with a new word to start with (which I get by looking around the room or see a word in the news, my fallback words are STORE, SHARE, STARE", HOUSE, or MOUSE (not that I've ever seen one in my house...LOL.)

I like getting "S", "T", "H", "R", and "E" used up quickly. Of course, my results are pretty much middle of the road, but like I've said in the past, I just like to exercise my brain. Not a kid anymore, and hope to stay somewhat mentally sharp.

That's the main reason I enjoy it too Jolly. I like having a good, quick, mild to moderate mental challenge to start the day. I don't know how much of a difference it actually makes to my brain health (maybe it does, I have no idea), but I have gotten used to it now and enjoy starting the day off that way whether it actually benefits me or not.

I've had my share of Wordles where I thought I had the word nailed on a given guess, and I didn't. This was an uncommon example of one where I thought no way my guess would be right (I was just trying to use up some common consonants), and much to my surprise it turned out to actually be right.

I've come to the conclusion that the game is set up to separate the WORDL dictionary by common words and they rotate them. That's why one person can look like a genius for a string of birdies and eagles and then fall into a dumpster fire.

Post by: MightyGiants on July 23, 2023, 02:11:53 PM
To me, Wordle, more often than not (and I will confess I often struggle when this isn't true), it's about letter pairings.

Pairs of either VOWELS & CONSONANTs vowels or consonants are usually the key to solving the puzzle.

I sometimes go back to old words I used to use to start the WORDLE puzzle. Today I went back to an old standby, "HOIST" because I like getting "S", "H", "T" out of the way, however I usually like to get an "E" out of the way with the first word. I was lucky today and extended my steak to 2...LOL

Same with me - I automatically assume the word is not going to end in "S". My start word was HERON, so having the "O" in the correct place, it threw me for a loop because that meant that "H" couldn't be the second letter, which makes no sense at all because the word couldn't end with "H" after an "O" - and definitely there wouldn't be a word the had "EO" in line or end with "OE". ETHOS was the only possible word I could come up with...lucky I did  #:-S

I had a few choices in mind:

BATHE
LATHE

Didn't want to go with a double letter early and thought they might go with a less common letter so I chose BATHE.

And here I am impersonating Bill 🤣

Bill

William, I am a mathematician and statistician and I constantly evaluate trends out of habit and must comment here. I think everyone is familiar with the Gaussian distribution (the fancy 10 cent word meaning "Bell Curve"). In nearly all cases, when trends are shown on a normal distribution, a bell shaped form takes place like this:

(https://i.postimg.cc/tg4gNyC7/normal-distribution.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)

In your case, it looks more like this, LOL

(https://i.postimg.cc/Gp4CppmP/inverse-normal-distribution.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)

You either blow all of our doors off by nailing a tough word in three tries or less, or you come close to busting - rarely 4 or 5 tries

If you were a race car driver, you would win just about every race, the ones you didn't, you'd come in last or near the last...LOL. No criticism here, just makes me laugh when you took the most attempts to solve Wordle today, whilst everyone else is par or better

Regardless, keep up the good work. You've been setting the bar for the rest of us for quite awhile now  :ok:

Yeah, the negative side of Tim's mean is longer than the plus side, which is all you can hope for. In the PGA, he'd be making a few million a year chasing a little white ball around a pristine field, LOL

My thoughts exactly. I flew through this one this morning in record time. My third guess, "SNACK" was a lucky guess, only to be wrong but now close to the goal because I knew it had to start with SNAK(?). I spent the next 5 minutes looking at every combination of letters left, including letters that were already in the solution. Absolutely nothing made sense! SNEAKY makes sense, but it's 6 letters. SNATCH makes sense, but again, it's six letters. I put in "Y" and said, it's not even a word, but it's the only freakin letter that makes a viable sound...duhh

Yes, technically speaking, but in practical terms I'd call this closer to slang than a real word (even though it is according to Merriam-Webster).

It really feels like you just add a "y" on the end to create a new adjective.  When I guessed it, I was expecting the word to be rejected (but it was the only word that fit)

It certainly was a snafu. My third guess. And a better word for sure.

Snafu crossed my mind as well although it didn't stay there long as I use ADIEU on every first guess, so the U was eliminated early for me.

Fair enough, and I avoid doing that myself, although I'm frankly not sure why anyone would go on this thread in the morning before they've done the puzzle that day.

First of all, we have readers and who knows what they expect. Although I know enough not to open this thread until I've solved my Wordle, I do get text messages and Facebook notifications on a Group I run that has a Wordle thread and nobody releases clues or even discusses what words they start out with. If I have difficulty in solving, I sometimes wonder how others made out and I will open the text, knowing it won't spoil it for me or give other an edge.

I think Jeff has a point, I don't go on to this thread until I am done.  Just seeing scores, generic comments, and patterns can be a clue in itself.

I think we came to an agreement a few months back that we wouldn't share anything until after 10:00. But, we have kind of a unique group, and we know each other, so it's pretty easy to know when everyone here has posted their results, so I've been known to discuss it earlier than 10:00. But, I'm like Rich and don't even pull up this thread until after I've done Wordle. When I fire up my computer in the morning, the first thing I do is my daily Wordle, and the second thing I do is post it on here and see how you guys fared. Then I take a quick gander at the main football page to see if anything new happened in football that I don't know about...then I go through the various newspapers I read, check Facebook, e-mails, etc., then play my other games like Waffle, Sudoku, Quordle, etc. After exhausting my morning routine, I check back on this site to catch up what everyone is talking about

In short: any clue dropped on here wouldn't affect me a bit, because I've already done the Wordle before coming to this site. It might be different for others  :-??

Yes, the 10AM rule should still be in effect.

There are only a handful of us that play here and most of us, if not all, don't check this thread until after we've solved the puzzle.

In my case, I started with "BLADE" as I was looking at a new knife next to my computer. The only letter that was right and in the correct spot was "D".   

At first, my only thought was, "nothing comes after D as the fourth letter except an E, but I had already used it". :-??

So going through the alphabet, I thought "BUNDT" as in a bundt cake, would work, but I already spent my "B". Only letter left was "Y" that made sense so I figured whatever the word is, it ends in DDY, so I tried MUDDY and knew now that my hunch was right

Now Rich's bird is a lot more crazy...just one letter after two tries and it wasn't even in the right place. Out of curiosity, Rich, what was your second guess? Curious minds want to know, LOL

Nicely done bird men. The average was 4.2 on this one.

Thanks Ed.

One thing that happens with me a lot is with birds it takes me quite a while, but with a lot of pars I'm done in a minute or less.

This game would be even more interesting if the "score" was a combination of number of guesses but also time elapsed from the submission of the first guess to the completion of the puzzle.

Don't get me wrong - I think getting a bird in a half hour is still better than getting a par in 20 seconds, but it would be kind of cool if they somehow combined time needed with shots taken to give you a "combined score."

Looks like you used the same words in the last three attempts as me: BERRY, FERRY, and eventually MERRY. I was glad I couldn't think of another word ending in "erry" or I would have busted again  :crazy:

It's amazing everyone got it in three. The Bot got it in four. It said I had eight possible words left after two and I went with my first guess immediately and luckily. There were other good words I didn't consider.

@T200

I am still playing the game.  I liked to add comments to my results, and frankly, I was running out of original comments, and the copy and paste.   I also was disgusted with myself because I broke a streak in the '70s.  I started the puzzle, got busy with something else, and forgot to finish it.  :doh:

I eliminated all but five words. Three of them ended in a Y and I didn't think they would have another game ending in Y. So it was between fraud and graph and I thought of graph and went with it. Although fraud would have been a more difficult word. It didn't cross my mind.

I've found that with the first two words a player eliminates all but a few words. The tough ones are when there are three letters and multiple variations and it becomes a guessing game. I've noticed streaks are often broken that way.

Longest 86
Current 40

For some reason, all my stats zeroed out last year even though I didn't lose. I had streaks over a hundred a few times, but that is not reflected in my current stats. It pretends I started playing about 6 months ago and I've been playing for years  :-??

Helps when you get a good starting word. I started with "SHARE", so I had 4 good letters and 1 in the right place. The "SH" was obvious that it would end the word, so I knew the "E" had to precede the "A", etc. Solved it in 10 seconds. Not that I'm particularly smart (or as my son used to say, "you're a pretty fart smeller"...LOL), just had a lucky first guess

Not that much .. like 40-something. I sometimes miss days. If you miss a day your streak ends (which is clearly more than fair).

I feel like the last time I completely whiffed on one was a decent number of months ago, but I couldn't say for sure. Maybe 8ish months ago? Definitely in 2023, but I feel like it was at least six months ago.

When you get the first two letters in green on your tee shot, anything worse than a bird is disappointing. I basically missed a six feet eagle putt on this one and got a tap-in for bird. I'd love to take bows for getting a bird, but I can't. Today it was all about my first guess, which is obviously pure luck.

That made me laugh... :laugh:

Lucky first guess (HOUSE). I would normally go with MOUSE instead, but decided today to try my luck with an "H"...it worked out. If I hadn't used up my "O", I would've gone with THOSE. Just luck...pure luck!

I'm still figuring out the car. Who would have thought changing/saving radio stations or setting a simple cruise control would require a college course (albeit, probably a non-credit community college night course for retirees, which I would take if they had one...lol)

I also would like to change the "mood lighting" for music, which flashes the floor and some hidden lights with a selected color in sync with the beat. When I take a call through the radio, the mood lighting flashes with each word I receive...friggin weird. I can't figure out how to turn it off, and I'm too lazy to read the manual

Treat it like a "word find" puzzle and exercise your 'blob'  =))

I would definitely find the lights syncing with my phone call audio annoying as hell.

Imagine my disappointment when I got that black 4th letter.   It's been so long since I got it in two.  It's like the Cowboys and their playoff aspirations.  Maybe not that bad.   But it feels like it.

I started Wordle at around 8 this morning.  After 4 guesses I had eliminated many letters and only had the position of the A and the O.  I spent far too much time figuring out the answer and just now solved the puzzle.

Any time a 5-letter word starts with a vowel, it's going to be a curve ball. Playing Quordle this morning, I had a hell of time with "ONION"

Unfortunately, I had to buy a new computer last year (well 574 days ago...lol) and after getting it up and going, it couldn't get my old stats back. I've been playing the game for several years, but my stats started over when I got the new computer. I even had a "1" once, about three years ago....sheer luck. I'm waiting for the day when someone on here gets a "1"

No, my current streak is 119 days...the data shows that I've played 574 days straight, but it didn't take into consideration that last year of data that I lost when I got a new computer. I didn't play for a couple of days because I had to do a lot of things to get the computer up and going and I don't play it on my phone. I tried, but couldn't retrieve my past data. I've been playing Wordle since it came out. I started a thread about it more than 2 years ago, but I had been playing it for quite a while before that. Once everyone started sharing their results on this thread, I make it the first thing I do every day once I turn my computer on

Funny thing is I was reading an email from Sig. I ignored the Universe or I could have had it in one. Slugs would have understood. I'm convinced that the algorithm for word choices cycles certain letter combinations so using the same first two words will only be advantageous when you hit that point in the cycle.

You did very well based on what you had to work with. If you were golfing, it'd be like your first shot hooking into the woods, then a duff shot leaving you still in the woods, then a pitch out to the fairway and with your last shot, holing out to save par  =))

I had only two vowels after two so I had to use a third word to eliminate more but wound up with three vowels. Fortunately, there was only one possible word left. Although I have a knack for thinking of some obscure word and it takes it.

One possible solution to the game. The NYTimes version has an analysis of the game played upon completion and it tells me after each word I choose if it was skill or luck and how many words I had left to solve the game after each step. After my third word, it says I had but one possible word left to solve it.

I've never clicked it. If it helps solve a problem, I don't want to use it. I'd rather fail than be given a clue. I really only care about pushing my brain so that it stays somewhat healthy now them into my senior years. I'll click tomorrow after I've solved it (or busted) to see what it does

I was a little worried, but after using two more obvious first letters to the four I already had that were in the right place, I ran through the "re-use" of a letter and I could only think of one word. Luckily, it was a hit

After discovering the "bot" yesterday, I went to it to see my results analyzed, and it won't let me see it without subscribing to the newspaper and that ain't happening
