I tried the sedecordle sequence a few times. I assume this is similar; you have to solve the words in a particular order, and you don’t see any clues for the second word until you’ve solved the first, etc.
I didn’t care for that version as much. I find that picking which word to attack first adds a little more strategy and complexity to the game.
So, rather than play the sequence version, I just play a few different size puzzles each night; wordle, quordle, sedecordle, and then the NYT’s Connections puzzle. Someone here posted a link to a 64-word (I think) version, but that was a bit too unwieldy for my tastes.
Not much to go on for all of them, but somehow I managed to eke out a rare 6! Also…Perky - are they spying on us? We were just talking about that word the other day!
That’s just crazy - lol…can’t imagine trying to solve that many words, much less how long it’d take!
I too play NYT Connections…I like that one. I often am slapping my forehead when I miss seeing the obvious connections, but that’s part of the fun in trying to figure it all out. @chiliwillybing Do you ever play that one?
It wasn’t really very difficult. By the time you’ve solved the first 30 or 40 words, you’ve used almost all the letters, and most of those have been in more than one location. From that point 'til the end, most of the answers are pretty obvious, you just have to go to the trouble of typing them in. Finishing is more of a drudgery than a challenge.
There were two things about it that I didn’t like. There’s not a lot of screen real estate to work with, so switching between words, and viewing all the clues for a particular word, involved a lot of clicking and scrolling. And it did something with the interface (changed colors, I think) for words that were virtually solved already. I’m sure the programmers thought they were being helpful, but I get really annoyed when apps try to guess what I want before I’ve asked for something.
32 words is not bad. After my starting words, there are usually a few answers that are pretty easy. And the last few are easy because you’ve got so much information to work with. Somewhere in the middle is where the most interesting guesses happen.
Yep, I really like that one too. I’ve also done the various number ordles before and like @Robot_Arm said they’re really not that hard, you do a whole lot more scrolling than you do solving.
Nowadays I do the wordle and quordle, and when I have time the Spelling Bee and Connections as well.

GRIND - 4

AWOKE - 7
That the problem with switching starters, I forgot I hadn’t played the R yet. I really should switch up more often so I don’t get into that rut.
I almost had another 6…I was going to go with Grind 3rd, but I changed at last second to Bring - I prefer to check the B and G together if possible. I was glad to get a 7 though…my 8’s were starting to catch up.

Tough one tonight. Not a lot to go on from the first three words. Got a little unlucky with CLING instead of CLINK, then a little lucky wit ELFIN and BEACH. Then I got to use VIZOR as a sleuth word to be sure I could win in 9.
All four words had two choices, and I at least got 2 of them right (Beach and Elfin). Actually, I originally had 3 words each for all but one (Beach vs. Peach), so I came up with Veiny to sleuth those others out, which helped. It still left two words for one of them (Plein or Elfin), but I didn’t think of Cling until later…wish I didn’t see that word - lol.
SIDE NOTE:
Beach reminds me…did you guys play Connections #150 on 11/8? I know when I go to the beach, I always bring my sunscreen, towel, and maybe an umbrella, but I almost always never forget to bring my one flip-flop.
I forgot I hadn’t played the C since I solved Stale on 2. I thought I was choosing between Snoop-Spoon-Swoop, and Snoop would tell me exactly what it was.
I played Sequence but didn’t post since I didn’t see your results. I got an 8…can’t remember what the words were now though.
Glad to see you’re helping to keep the superpowers alive. I’m still working on getting all four wrong, but the opportunity hasn’t arisen yet.
Also…Perky - are they spying on us? 
We were just talking about that word the other day!
! (my new favorite emoji…she’s going to be getting a lot of use - lol).
Took me 3 tries to get that one, but at least I didn’t fail.
I forgot to post my quordles yesterday!
