Made a mistake reusing the A on my third guess, and I in my fourth. I’m also still trying to figure out when to resort to doubles of the same letter. That’s my first 5 in a while. Not at my sharpest today. I blame it on getting anesthesia yesterday. Words with initial vowels also tend to throw me.
Content Warning: slurs
They removed the following from the list of words in future games
wench, slave, fibre, agora, pupal, lynch
And removed the following from the list of words that are accepted as guesses (in addition to the above ones):
gooks, darky, pussy, spick, spics, bitch, fagot, dyked, coons, spiks, sluts, dykey, faggy, homos, chink, dykes, lesbo, kikes, whore
Today I gave up before I got an ulcer.
Do not like this NYTimes development. I figure the game is already waning in popularity, and I myself am not as into the challenge anymore. I may play but not post, we’ll see I guess.

Almost didn’t get this one!

Edit: Tried three times, cannot get the spoiler function to work here.
I lost interest a few days ago. Once you develop a strategy that always gets you to the answer within 5 tries, it gets a little boring.
I am a third word, and there’s a few more of us about.
The transfer to the NYT was irritating because I lost my stats. My own fault for using extensions that delete cookies, I suppose.

After the first guest I was sure I would have have it in three or even two guesses, but I just couldn’t come up with the answer. I always get thrown when it starts with a vowel, especially U.

Tried to be clever with the first guess, having seen the new site setup.
On the day the game moved to the NY Times, the NY Post published the list of upcoming words. That info was already online if you searched but the news site seems worse.

Beastly game!
Yesterday I extended my streak to 50. Today WORDLE says my streak is 50, but it should be 51. I have not deleted any cookies, but why would WORDLE do this?
Here is yesterday’s 50 streak —
Here is today’s 50 streak —
.
What gives?
A fun bunch I’m sure!
I’m adding the third word to my lexicon of curses and insults. Hope you Ocker’s don’t mind!
I see what WORDLE did, but still it’s an error.
Yesterday my distribution of guesses was —
1: 1
2: 1
3: 10
4: 15
5: 16
6: 7
Today it is —
1: 1
2: 1
3: 9
4: 16
5: 16
6: 7
It’s a WORDLE ERROR.

I know the Post is trash anyway, but this is unbelievably dickish. Easy enough to avoid though, I suppose.

Kind of tricky, as I would consider “ultra” to be a prefix rather than a free-standing word. But there wasn’t much else it could have been by that point.
