I've missed once in 32 games. Today's had me questioning if it was going to be right. Got it in 3 though.

I got it in five but only because this word was used, not too long ago, on the other site. Personally, I missed it then as I never heard of the darn word.

Just my opinion, but an easy one today.

Using the words I always start with, I had all the letters early and just had to rearrange them.

I agree - today's wasn't bad. There have been a couple of trickier ones recently.

I got this morning's on the last try. There was literally almost no available letters left.
After 5 tries, I only had one letter (a vowel) and that was it. I finally got it on the last try juggling words with only a few consonants and the one vowel left. Thought for sure I was going to have another "fail", but I lucked out - whew

I use:

Horse
Paint
Bulky

That left me one out of place letter

I guessed it just from that and what letters remained

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/ 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. After playing it with 4 letters, then 6 and 7, I found 5 to be the sweet spot for mind exercising. But that's just me. Might be different for others

Today's word was tricky.

After using my regular 3 words I only had 2 letters and spent enough time juggling them.

Having 2 v's is pretty unusual but I did get it on the 5th line.

Easy one today

[LennG]

Tough one today in that I really never even heard of this word until I looked up its meaning. Got it by sheer chance just by process of elinination

Ditto.

I've only been doing these for about a month but, and maybe it's just me, it seems that since they sold to the Times, the words haven't been as common as before. Plus, it also seems that there are more words with double letters.
