Curious as to how many use the “used word” or previous solution lists ? :face_with_monocle:

6284

I don’t. I treat each day as a fresh, unique challenge as much as I’m able (I mean, I can’t turn my actual memory off without a hammer, of course).

6285

Me too.

Three greens and a yellow is functionally equivalent to four greens, it’s not like that yellow has anywhere else to go. :slight_smile:

I still prefer my starting word, I like getting those four WoFcons right off the bat, and can wait until my second word to pick up the E. Not to mention, a 1 is still a possibility with my starting word.

ROAST → Oooh. Looks like I’m out of vowels. I can try L (and trust the B) with

A very quick three. All those SLATE starters had a good day. Scoredle takes a detour to place the first known letter with its second guess, and can’t recover on its third, making par.

Wordlebot can go fuck itself. It doesn’t even pretend to use Hard mode, and it has the nerve to tell us which guesses are more “efficient.” And it accuses us of being lucky when our thoughtful work pays off. I repeat: Wordlebot can go fuck itself.

Nope. I know people get ruffled if you call it ‘cheating’, potato-potahto for me.

I’m on a streak of getting next to nothing out of my random start words. Thought I was heading for a whiff again today, but a placed T ain’t nothing.

A good second word narrowed it to BLAST, ADAPT, and the less likely AVAST. The first one I saw was the right one!

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve birdied. Looks like a good day for a lot of us today!
