I have a guess to what one of your 4/5 attempt is, but I’m intrigued at what the other one is.

964

There was some web article about a guy who just discovered wordless, used a “tool” to play all the games before he joined, and claimed sone long record. Seems dicey to me.

I’m undefeated, 18/18 with an average just below four. I’ma gonna beat his record. Give me three months.

965

My guesses:

VIDEO
BOARD
SOUND
WOULD
MOULD
COULD

966

Ah, I would never spell it like that…

:green_square::green_square::green_square::green_square::green_square:

PERKY → Second straight day of a dry first guess.
SHOUT → Okay. OU looks like a good dipthong, move it over one spot and try some common consonants
WOUND → Good guess, placed the D, haven’t tried L yet…
COULD

Upon reflection, I ought to have made it in three, as COULD and WOUND both had four letters covered by WOULD, which made it the best guess.

968

I’m not really following this thread any longer, for reasons given above, but wanted to drop in to point out:

– there’s a site where you can play Wordles for previous days. So, if you came in somewhere around #200, there’s 190-some wordles that you haven’t done, and now you can do them.

– at least one of those calls for three of the same letter. I don’t know whether it’s since been tweaked to remove that possibility.

969

Nailed it in three!

LEARN
PLUMS
COULD

970

Perhaps you were extremely lucky.

LEARN — one yellow square

PLUMS — one yellow square, one green square

COULD — five green squares!

971

Dude, spoilers!

972

Who??

973

Easy one for me today. :slight_smile:

IRATE

COULD

974

That was my mistake too. I wasted a turn with spelling it properly, instead of like you oddballs.

Anyway, here’s tomorrow’s game:

I just played Hello,Wordle.net two times in a row with five letters. The solution
was a different word each time, so they obviously don’t change them at midnight. :slight_smile:

TRACE
SONIC
COULD

Got lucky with my third guess. I was still working on testing common letters without expecting to solve it quite yet. The one less common letter in COULD happened to have already been tried in my first guess.
