Topic: Wordle - Word Game - Guess a different word each day

[AndyInVA]

me too on my last life, yesterday was American, I think Todays is Polish

agreed

I cant think of anything that fits. I have the first, second and fourth letter and nothing in my brain fits anything. even tried typing in what could be french words to see if anything fit

how can i have three of 5 letters and still cant make a word

[Barneylfc∗]

My brain goes dead trying to think of 5 letter words so I start with the same one each time.

It has the two most common vowels (I think), so normally gets me off to some kind of start.

That any use? 

I went in a huff and didn't finish it.
I had the first, 3rd and 4th letters in the right position and lit up green, and the letters I had remaining were a pile of wank and no indication there may have been a double letter.

double letter got me as well

had to massively cheat with a help site to figure out possible words

[Crosby Nick]

I only got the double with my last guess. If you had guessed that letter earlier did it not give any indication that it appeared twice? If so, surely it still showed as an available letter in the keypad bit?

It would be slightly easier once you have a couple of letters if you could type them in and leave others blank to help visualise it more easily.

[Elmo!]

4 for me today.

I had no letters with my first guess
Second guess I had the 4th letter from the correct word, but the word I guessed, it was the 5th letter in that so showed up yellow
3rd guess I got 3 letters, 2 in the correct position and one in the wrong position. From the correct word, my word had the first, 3rd and 4th letters, but only the 3rd and 4th in the right position. The other correct letter I had in the 2nd position.
4th guess, all 3 of my letters in the correct position. 1, 3 and 4. No indication there could've been a double letter.

This was my question yesterday and today is a good example to check with sop just opened it up in Private Browsing and tested, and it gave noo clue that the letter appeared twice.

[Barneylfc∗]

I opened a new browser and put in a different word with the same double letter. One shows up green and the other yellow. So unless you actually put in a double letter then there are no hints.

Opened a 3rd browser and put the double letter in 2 wrong places, both show up yellow.

[CraigDS]

Got it in 4 today!

[The G in Gerrard]

Took me 6.

Shine of this initial game has lessened last two days.

So the letter in question lit up green on the keyboard? So you’d assume it had been picked already and look at the available letters. That’s a bit tough.

Yeah it's a bit of a flaw in the design IMO, but makes it a bit challenging as you can't rule out a letter once it has come up green once.

I’m stumped today

Wordle 208 2/6

[Alan_X]

I always start with the same word that has 4 out of 5 vowels.

It's a fun game but it still relies on guesses. I had 1st and 4th letter from the start today but it took three more tries to get the right answer.

I always start with ATONE, which includes 5 of the 6 most used letters (only doesn't contain i).

Yep I have figured out a good wort to start with every day. I won't be revealing it. 

[Sheer Magnetism]

I have two guesses left and have no idea how to make any word with what I have and what's left.

Same and I've been dipping in and out all through  busy day

[Millie]

I got today's on my 6th attempt.

[John C]

It's late in the day so I'm not giving any spoilers away.

Its weird that double letters aren't accommodated

[CraigDS]

Yeah the way they handle this isn't great. Although at least once you know how they do it you can look for it.

[S]

Yeah the double letter thing is kind of annoying but actually makes it more challenging, so I don’t mind.

I’m so stupid though. Up until today I’ve been making guesses based on the letters I already have. So say after my first go I know that the word begins with a P, I would keep on guessing words that begin with P. Took me until today to realise I may as well chuck five new letters in there. Though I guess this way you almost certainly won’t get it within a couple of tries.

Yeah this is exactly how to play it. Unless there is an obvious next move with the letters you have you need to maybe do a brand new 5 letter word to narrow some stuff down.

[The G in Gerrard]

Done in 4. Having trouble sleeping.

[McrRed]

Yeah 4 too
Also not sleeping when I should be

[tubby]

In 3 for this one.

[Barneylfc∗]

Done in 3.

[Lfc19ynwa]

Took me 5 again today

[Elmo!]

4 for me.... done everyone so far in either 4 or 5.

Today

2 Letters in 1 Wrong Places

3 Letter 3 in Correct Places
3 Letter 3 in Correct Places
4 Letters in 3 Correct Place
Solved

Do people have a common opening word they use? In theory as it's the same overall challenge each day, there have got to be better opening strategies than others? I've been trying to throw as many vowels in there as possible, and making sure I've got an 'S'. Last few days I've just ended up starting with the same word rather than trying to come up with new ones.

[Crosby Nick]

Smashed it in three today! Tried a new approach.

First go: first letter bang on, one other letter
Second go: new word, uncovered another letter in the wrong place
Third go: felt confident of the first three letters and went with out the only word I could think of. Nailed it.

I used Craigs word ATONE, got it in 4 today

[Musketeer Gripweed]

Got it in 3. I had to work this morning and left big gaps in between my attempts. Thinking time might actually work.

[red_lfc_costello]

totally messed it up today.

Got two letters in my first guess, same two in my second. Tried something a little different in the 3rd to see if i could get any others and got another. Forgot about one of the first letters i got and then continued on guessing until i got it wrong and realised i already had the first letter guessed

[BarryCrocker]

I wish I treated the transfer window threads the same way as Wordle. Open it, have a crack over 5-10 minutes, move on with my life.

The F5/Command R buttons would be so much better off.

[Elzar]

Got it in 3 today.

Had 2 correct letters, then 3 correct and the 4th in the right place, then got it.

Complete luck.

[Sheer Magnetism]

I got it in three too, it really does depend on how you do with the first word. I try and change it up every day to make it interesting.
