"Wordle," a strangely compelling word game (Part 3)

[SunUp]

Wordle 1,631 4/6* 12/6/2025

AMONG → For a second there, I was very optimistic. It’s something to build on, and doesn’t stop me from my favorite first word second
SLATE → Good range of letters. I think there’s still another vowels to find, so I’ll throw in an I and another WoFcon, perhaps an N
TINAS → Yep, I had already tried an N with the first word, grrrrr.. STAIR would have been wordle-valid, though the S would have been in the same spot… Anyway, with that I in the mix, I can try
WAIST

Turns out it was a tap-in, despite the misplay on my third guess - so very lucky, I’d have to say. Scoredle matches my par, with the only final-guess suspense being between the solution and an archaic verb conjunction.

@MacDoc

Glad to see others using a look up for used solutions.

Well, not exactly. I’ve been maintaining my own Excel spreadsheet of past solutions since mid-2022. To each their own, of course, but I’d personally feel a bit more uncomfortable checking against an online list of past solutions than one I’ve been keeping and adding to, day by day, since almost the beginning.

Don’t see any difference frankly

[Bullitt]

Neither do I, but if I’d been manually maintaining a list then I’d probably see it differently.

And…

My wife got it in 1!

Have I mentioned that Slate is the best possible start? S,L,A,E are all in their likeliest positions

I just don’t like the idea of using online aids to help me solve a Wordle. Once I cross that line, there’s all sorts of resources, why stop with that one? As long as it’s my own spreadsheet, I’m just using my own resources, and not anyone else’s.

Not saying anyone else is wrong for seeing it differently, but that’s where I’m comfortable drawing the line.

SLANT
BLITZ
FLUTE

My starting word narrowed it down to CLOTH, ELITE, FLUTE, BLITZ, GLITZ, and KLUTZ. The first two had been used, and going with BLITZ or GLITZ guaranteed a 3, so that’s what I did.
