Has anyone else here hit 300?
I know I got lucky more than once - including yesterday - but I’m pretty pleased with myself. (Speaking of “don’t hate me”:grin:)

I wasn’t thinking about a third vowel, or else I might have had a shot at a two. Happy with three though. I agree with @psychobunny, a good thinker today.

I’ll hit 300 on Wednesday. I’ve only had one loss - PARER, of course - so assuming I don’t take a loss tomorrow or Wednesday, it’ll show my win% as 100% since 299/300 = 99.666… rounds to 100.

I’ll post some more stats then.

The spell is broken with a more usual result.

I’ve played 307 times and lost once. It was to the accursed PARER.

Congratulations, @Wheelz, to an unbroken streak of 300. :slight_smile:

This morning I was wondering when there will be comments about 300. I’m at 285 and there seems to be a lot of people who started just before me.
So, I’m about 2 weeks away from 300. I have one early loss (HOARD) and I got PARER in 4 (PAGER was my second word)

Tomorrow will be my 300th game. I have one loss, which was on hunky and not parer.

Three vowels (as of step 2); not too many words would fit, particularly with the consonants that had been eliminated. Still, quite a ‘thinker’ as some have said.

PIZZA → I should not Wordle on an empty stomach. OK, where is left for the A to go? Can I cover both?
AXIAL → Yes I can, and that was a really good guess. I think all that’s left is…

Had a real shot in the dark in there with the third guess, but the fourth guess was the clincher.

Pretty lucky here. After 2 I could see prime, prize and pride. Then I said screw it, I want to see if there’s an M, and I saw prime first anyway.

I wasn’t seeing anything, but finally grabbed that elusive X off the keyboard. :wink:

Congrats @Wheelz for your 300 streak. :slight_smile:

I’m now at 258 games. I have failed once (WATCH) way back in March. My win percentage is 100% though…it used to be 99% but changed back to 100% at some point a couple of months ago. Not sure how. I started playing around end of February, and have missed several games, so my streak keeps getting started over.

Went from having 2 letters after the 2nd guess to having all five after the third.

Rounding. One loss in 200+ games gives an unrounded percentage that’s closer to 100% than 99%, so it gets rounded up.
