What is wordle?

Re: Wordle - 02/27/22 11:36 AM
I got hooked on it about 2 weeks ago...
Wordle is an online 5-letter word game. Each day a new word is released and players have six attempts to guess what the word of the day is.

Guess I'm a natural...
I don't have time for a new Game
Is there any hints or the definition of the word given? Or do you just try and guess which one of the thousands of 5 letter words is the word for the day?
Sounds exc (yawn) it (yawn) ing!!!
The things old people do to pass the time !!!

Re: Wordle - 02/27/22 07:40 PM
No hints or definition. I try to put a few vowels in the first word and go from there....
So you get 6 tries to guess the word, but do they tell you the letters you guessed correct in your guesses?
I got it but it took me 4 tries, lol.

Re: Wordle - 02/27/22 08:04 PM
Yes....if your letter turns gray its not in the word. Yellow means its in the word but you don't have it in the right position yet...green its where it belongs. And there's only one new word per day...
That makes sense now Bushmaster! Thanks!

Like all things computer related... ask your kid. Our daughter got us involved she’s 31, is that old?
Not old at all, my daughter got me involved and she will be 50 in March. Could someone post the link for Computer Hater.

OK, not bad. Good brain exercise. I didn't "choke", but took to the 5th guess to get it. I guess I'm officially old now!! LOL
Thanks Angela.
For me, todays word was rather easy, my opening word had 3 of the letters including the first letter.
You are officially hooked now CH.

Re: Wordle - 02/28/22 04:02 PM
That one took me to the last try.
I got this one on the 4th try too. Guess that's where my average is going to be LOL
I use the same opening word each day, some days I don't have any of the letters, when you have 3 of them it is a big help.
Your opening word is important. Mine has 3 vowels.

So what's the reward? Just the satisfaction of solving it as soon as possible, or do you compete with friends?
Whew, made me sweat today. Didn't get it till the 5th try!
Yep, it was a little more difficult today, but the streak is still alive.

. I got this one in 3, my best of 7 that I've done. Yesterday took me 5 tho.
So far I haven't needed all 6 tries.
I've had 3 5s, 3 4s and only 1 3.
Posted By: Bushmaster
Re: Wordle - 03/05/22 10:36 PM
Now there's a wordle 2....words with 6 letters!
I don't worry about how many tries with the system I use. I use 3 words which gives me 15 different letters, I don't even try to guess the word before the 4th try. Two times I had all 5 letters of the word in two tries so I did end up getting the word in 3 tries. It usually takes me 4 or 5 attempts.

Tricky one today for me!
Got a lucky guess to figure it out
Posted By: nimzy
Re: Wordle - 03/27/22 11:35 AM
Here’s a new one!
9 tries to get 4 words.
Today was the first I played for about 3 weeks. After my 3rd guess I had 4 letters in order needing only the first letter to win. The problem was I knew of about 6 words that would fit. I lucked out and hit the word of the day on the 5th try.
Yeah today was rough for me, lol. It's the only time I went all the way to the sixth try... and when I got there, I had two words left that could have been it. I was sweating bullets, lol. I picked the right one of the two.

Thanks, I'll have to check those out!
That quordle is ridiculously hard. I just played about 6 practice games and only got all 4 right once, lol.
I got it today, I thought today's word was the hardest that I have played. I had 4 letters and could not think of any words to use, I thought and thought and finally came up with the winner. I just thought it was me and my weak vocabulary. When I finally pieced the word together before I entered it I checked a dictionary to see if it was a word, lol.
Tough one for me today with only 2 letters on first three tries but then it came together and guessed it in five
Dave
Whew. Down to the wire. 6th try.

Just so ya know Nittany, it won't let you enter in a word that doesn't exist. If you enter one, the letters just all shake, and you don't lose a turn or anything.

Pretty common word today, but I really struggled as after 3 guesses I only had one letter. Got it in 5 after much thought. Dang game is wearing me down, lol.

My Sunday Wordle:
Usually start with House or Maids and go from there. Sometimes just use a word to select 5 new letters and see if any are part of the word. I’m not the smartest but so far that strategy has been working.

Re: Wordle - 04/05/22 05:12 PM
I got todays, but have no idea what it is, lol.
Still only missed the one that I could've guessed, sound, bound, found, pound, hound and round on.
I had the ound on my second guess with wound but run outta guesses before the last try. I think I had eliminated the h on my first try too.
I got it on my normal 5 tries. 16 games played, 100%
I think today might have been the quickest I ever got the word. My stats aren't very impressive, lol. The first two times I played the game I struck out, since then I have gotten the word every time I played. I had a streak of 23 before I couldn't play, my current streak is now at 8. I have never gotten the word on one guess or two guesses, only 5 times on 3 guesses, 11 times on 4 guesses, 13 times on 5 guesses and 3 times on 6 guesses.
For now I am content to playing one time a day. Maybe I will try the two times a day game if I can figure out how to play the second time.

I often wondered who would look after me. I guess I recently found out, since I got out of the hospital my wife has looked after me 24/7 , she is doing an excellent job as my road to recovery continues. Without her I would be up the creek.
West River Rogue, pm sent.
Took me all 6 tries to complete todays word.

Sounds better than mine, lol.
1 on 3, 4 on 4, 8 on 5 and 4 on the last try.
And I won't even talk about my stats on that stupid Quordle, lol.
First word choice with some less popular letters helped me figure out todays word.

Bernie, you are the man. I don't see how it is possible to get it on the first try yet you did it 8 times. What is your secret?
Haha there is a secret. Only one of those I nailed on the first try for real, the others were the second time around. Ever have one of those words that you have most of it, but about a dozen different letters make words? See pic below. If you don't get it in the first six you can watch an ad and try again, that's how I got 7 of 8 of those on the first try. I'm ridiculously good at word games but I have worked with words my whole life so it's no surprise.
Posted By: BernieB.
Re: Wordle - 04/07/22 01:41 PM
Just some hints for people:
The 9 most common consonants in the english language are RSTLNCDMP in that order. So it's good to start with words that have the most common.
More words end with S than any other letter. I believe ED is the next most common word ending.
A LOT of five letter words are CVCVC Consonant Vowel mixes. LIVES, LINER, RATED, you get the idea.
A surprising number of words have more than one of the same letter, if you keep that in mind at all times, you'll solve them faster. Surprisingly I got POPPY on the third try. I lucked out on BEZEL and RADAR too.
Anyway hope this helps.

Re: Wordle - 04/08/22 07:19 PM
I got today's in 2. I was shocked. Had all 5 letters in the first try. Just had to rearrange them for the second try.
I lost!! First time lost out of 28 games. I narrowed it down to two possible words at the end.... and picked the wrong one of the two.
Posted By: hippie
Re: Wordle - 04/19/22 10:06 AM
Ha, I lost on my 30th try in the same way! I had another one a couple days ago just like it, had three words that would fit but I guessed the right one this time.

Re: Wordle - 04/21/22 10:02 AM
Took me all 6 tries an a "AHA" moment to get todays.
I got today's in 4. Had the third and last letter in the right place from the get go.
Today's word had a letter I don't recall seeing before, managed to get it in 4.
I could be in trouble, my streak is in jeopardy. I have one guess left and at this point I am dang near clueless. All I know for sure is the word has a "c", an "o" and an "e" and the e is the second letter.

Re: Wordle - 05/20/22 10:20 AM
Missed the word today!
Its the second one I've not gotten since Nittany got me started on this, and like the other one I didn't get I had 4 chances to get the last 2 letters.
I got it today on the 5th try, I was lucky, I had 3 letters and I was trying to think of a word using those 3 letters to come up with another letter or two and the word I thought of was the word of the day, I thought it was a bit of an unusual word for them to use.
You old folks still playing that game?
I have been playing it at midnight when they change the word. I am going to stop in a couple weeks once I've played it 100 times. I missed EPOXY several weeks back. That is my only miss.
I think Quordle is much more challenging but it doesn't keep track of how you do day to day. I have probably played it 50 times or so and have lost 5 or 6 times.

Wordle2 is my favorite because it has 8 games a day. (4 in the morning and 4 at night). Phrazzle is addicting.
Quordle I have a love/hate relationship with. Computerhater must be a master, because if quordle kept track I really don't think I'd be at 50% I SUCK at it, lol.
My memory isn't too bad. I got a PM that told me where to look for my results on Quordle. I haven't played tonight yet but I have 47 wins and 8 losses so far.
I'm not a master by any means but I do have a strategy that works most of the time.
