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

READY
BOULE
GLOVE

I beat Wordlebot again! I’ve got a bone to pick with it, though. In the step-by-step analysis, it said that instead of using BOULE, SPLIT would have been a more efficient guess. Which not only feels like sour grapes, it ignores the fact that I was playing in Hard Mode, so I had to use a guess with an E.

@Andy_L

I lucked out today by starting with an anagram of the actual word, by total chance

Don’t be ashamed to share what it was. DECOR, right?

Actually no

ORATE
NOISE
CLOVE
GLOVE

My vowel obsession bites me again. After hitting two vowels there was no need to check for a third. No guarantee, but I might have scored a three if I’d gone for more consonants at two.

Ah…so close.

Bit of luck again for me today.

IRATE
SLOPE
GLOVE

After my second try, I could see GLOVE, GLOBE, CLOVE and CLONE. (I remembered BLOKE had already been used.) GLOVE or CLOVE eliminated all but 1 guess, so it was a coin flip. GLOVE won the toss.

@gkster

WordleBot seemed very grudging with praise, just a 74 for skill and 83 for luck. I feel very lucky, looked for a 2nd guess word with common letters and a vowel not used in my 1st guess. And to my surprise, that was it!

Well done, you! Twos are the best, aren’t they?

AROSE
FREON
CREDO

I was surprised that FREON was accepted as I thought it was a registered brand name.

ROAST
OPIUM
ENDOW
CLOVE
GLOVE

GLOVE was probably more likely than CLOVE, but I saw the latter first.

It was CORED

CREDO → Hit on vowels to start; need to try some more consonants (and put vowels on the back burner for now)
STONE → Strikeout on the consonants, but I do have the vowels in the right positions. Time for a repeat letter?
ELOPE → No repeated E, but the L was crucial. Looking at unused consonants, I’ll try a G to start and guess…
GLOVE

Didn’t think of BLOKE, but it turns out to be a previous answer.

Just missed the 3, but fair play. Yesterday I got a 3 on glove without ever having seen globe. You win some you lose some.
