Yeah, today's was a pain. I actually managed to get two letters right on the second try, but then it took me ages to think of a single word that could fit.
Today's was nasty. I had the third and last letter on second try, and all of it in 5 after another half hour.
I'm glad I wake up and do this first thing because I'm literally seeing people on my Twitter TL posting Wordle spoilers and I almost had a meltdown because of it dddd. I don't want my perfect streak to feel unearned.
When my boss asks on Teams if anybody else plays, and one of my co-workers replies, "Not me, I'd rather read." Uh... okay?
This was a fun way to realize I didn’t know how to spell that word. The SHOCK when I confidently typed it in the way I thought it was spelled only to be told it wasn’t in the word list. (Ended up getting it in 5)
Wordle 5/6 LeMOT 6/6 Lewdle 4/6 I did significantly worse today but at least I got them. At first I was like i've literally never heard of this word but then I was like that's not true, I have seen it somewhere: Spoiler: SPOILER ALERT
The way she knew that word and knew perfectly how to use it in context but couldn't pronounce Haitians correctly. A queen.
I see I am the only one who plays the game by using my first three turns just putting in words that use a total of 15 common letters in English - and only get the words right in under 4 turns if a lot happens to be in the right place from the beginning ddd
I play like this too, with an emphasis on getting the vowels out of the way first. The number of tries doesn't really matter to me, I find it more satisfying to try solving it in as little time possible.
Same, I usually start with "audio" which knocks out all vowels but one so it's usually pretty easy to solve the word once you have the vowels locked in.
I've been starting with "coral" since it's made of five of the most common letters in the English language. A word with more vowels sounds like a good idea though.
I do "HATER" "MOUND" "SILKY" and if those are lacking, "PUBIC." Usually makes it clear. EDIT: Sorry thought this was the Tinder thread.
