I wonder what Wordlebot would rank my guesses in terms of luck versus skill.

Wordlebot seemed a bit huffy that I got it in three.

WHILE → Clean whiff. Time for one of my favorite second guesses
ROAST → U or Y? SYRUP, TRYST and TRUST are all out. If we end in RT, we’d need a vowel before it, so ??URT, then ?SURT goes nowhere, so S?URT yields
SPURT

Fortunately, I didn’t see STRUT. Also, a big hooray for Rebo who cut right to the chase!

Everyones doing good with this one!

Happy to join the ranks of the threes today!
Scoredle says I had over 1200 choices after my opening strikeout (granted, many of Scordle’s words are ridiculous, but still), and my second word narrowed it down to one!

Probably poorly played. Should have gone with PUNCH before FUNKY. After four I had three options, HUNCH, MUNCH and BUNCH. I needed a sleuth word starting with H and ideally with B and M. Still a bit of a slog for a six.

SLANT

BUMPY
BUNCH

Wow, the results are all over the place today, already everything from a 2 to a 6. I’m happy to be in the middle with a 4. :slight_smile:

This one was unusual for me in that, after my second guess, there were seven legit possibilities: BUNCH, HUNCH, MUNCH, PUNCH, FINCH, PINCH, WINCH. And (the unusual part) NONE of them were previous solutions! With well over 800 games in the rearview mirror, I’ve gotten used to being able to narrow things down somewhat with past solutions, but not this time!

With that many choices, I wanted to play it safe with a sleuth word, but found I couldn’t cover all the bases. WIMPY left me with a possible 5 if the solution was BUNCH or HUNCH, and BUMPY did the same if it was WINCH or FINCH. Since the Y was superfluous, I tried BWUMP and BWIMP but Wordle rejected them both, so I went with BUMPY because I thought BUNCH and HUNCH were more likely than WINCH and FINCH. Turned out I made the right choice. :slight_smile:

Once I knew the solution (and before I checked in here), I did my best to send out “trust the B, Ellis, trust the B!” vibes, but it turned out I was five hours too late. :frowning:

You’re near the front of the pack. Nobody has gotten a 2, and so far only two people (@pjd and @chiliwillybing) have managed a 3.
