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

The Game Room
7181

I’ve been burned a few times in NOT trying a word with repeated letters, so I thought I’d outfox them this time. Wasted a guess as it turned out.

7182

A sterling achievement!

I’m impressed that five different people (so far) in this thread had SLATE as their penultimate (and unfuckupable setup for their ultimate) guess.

SLICE
STYLE
STALE

I was going to go with either Stale or Style for my 2nd word, and the A seemed the smarter choice, but I tried to outsmart Wordle (if either of those were the answer) and I lost the gamble. Happy with 3 though, as there were a lot of words to choose from.

Glad I didn’t guess fiend with my third word; the green E was clutch in leading me to the answer.

Unforced error at three, but it got the vowels in place and I saved par anyway. It’ll do.

Just a par, but took only four minutes–and I consider that to be a good result (for me. Nothing against those who carefully strategize!)

W00t!! Another 3!! I did have to work at it, though.

STALE → Not much of a start. Something with R & N, and another vowel? I perhaps?
REPIN → BENIN is a proper noun, but I’m glad I thought of it because it guided me to…
BEGIN

I was really lucky on the second guess; placing all three letters cut down on possibilities greatly.
