Exercising that blob atop my shoulders (Wordle)

[MightyGiants]

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.

with people developing strategies that make the game easier less common words and double letters are ways to keep the game challenging

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'm still getting it in four. I put in my usual 3 words and had all the letters, so just getting the word today was easy.

I've never gotten the word in one guess. Most of mine were done in the 4th try with the 3rd and 5th a little over half of the 4th.

I think I had two misses. I'm a 98%.

Do you use the same starting word every time, or do you mix it up?

I always start with ADIEU. I've just gotten used to it.

No I don't. I go with what pops in my head and try to hit the vowels by the second round.

[Ed Vette]

Lately there has been only one vowel and sometimes used twice.

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.

For whatever reason, I always start with HOIST and then READY
