Does this mean Wordle only puts up one word a day, the same for everyone?

1684

I realize that. But the mechanics of the game are identical, as far as I can see.

1685

Yes, that’s what has made it so popular. The words are drip fed to us daily and it is the same word for everyone so we can compare notes.

1686

Tomorrow’s word seemed familiar. It may have been one I used as a guess in an earlier game.

Man, I struggled with this one in Notepad for hours. After trying every conceivable combination of letters with what I was left with after letter elimination and placement, it was the only actual word I could come up with for my fourth try. It had to be right.

My second guess was supposed to cover R, T and S but I was seduced by the CH. Just as I was thinking I’d gone off the rails, the answer came to me.

EDIT: In hindsight, a better word for my second guess would have been TRIPS. Or STRIP, I guess.

1691

Yes, it seems familiar because of the one that ended up as SWILL, but there were several possible words you could try, and this was one of them.

I seem to have a knack for nailing that middle letter on the first guess, which makes the rest of it on hard just that little extra harder. Damnit.
