"Wordle," a strangely compelling word game (Part 1)

Ooff, should’ve had it in two, but I repeated a misplaced letter. Derp.

I got it in four, but then the WordleBot told me that I should have gotten it after my second guess because there was only one eligible word remaining in the answer list.

Screw you, WordleBot! You don’t tell me how to live my life!

2803

You forgot to spoiler your guess for us!

:wink:

Ugh. I definitely need to stop playing at midnight.

My second ever loss. I turned off hard mode in my second to last try to attempt to find the last letters. I had zeroed in on the last two being consonants though, so I didn’t focus on more vowels.

A lucky choice for first guess results (as for others in this thread) in a quick “two.”

2807

Exactly the same as my entries, getting it in two.

2808

Booyah! I didn’t even necessarily mean it would be amongst us, but there you go. Well done!

2809

I’ve used it as a starting word several times. Imagine my surprise when they all turned green!

SCARE → That is a good start. R at the end, must be a vowel between A & R, but AOR is rare, so AIR it is… so
STAIR

Going with yesterday’s solution to start pays off. I took a little extra time to make sure there weren’t any other words that fit my basic assumption.

CRAPS
BLACK

Took me a while to see anything until I finally saw black, but then I noticed also flack and slack. Fortunately I had checked S. Looking harder I saw that I had dodged _OACH (CRP) by eliminating all three possibilities with my starter. That left only black and flack, and since I saw black first it was an easy choice. 50/50 chance paid off.

After my standard opener I had no idea where to go, and 3-5 were all words I knew were wrong but would help me rule out various consonants. I came up with “BLACK” and Googled it to make sure I was right before I typed it in, promising myself that if I wasn’t, I’d take the L.

Nearly ended my streak too.

BLACK
The first word I saw for the second word was BLACK, which would have given me three straight 2’s. But, wanted a better letter. Then when I saw the four greens I went to my first impression.
