TRACK → A is good. When not in the middle, means we need more vowels. I can check E and rest of WoFcons with
LANES → Looks a bit trappish. Must be another vowel in there. Perhaps Y?
HANDY → Nope. MANIC/PANIC are out, so maybe an O is next?
BANJO → Good to get that O. Gotta be MANGO
Scoredle finishes in 4, thanks to a really good second guess. My stubborn refusal to try a word starting with the eventual initial letter until the fourth guess sunk me; Scoredle OTOH figures out the first two letters with that super second guess, and when commenting on my guesses always says my best next guess starts with that initial.
I don’t have an account to can’t obtain the blanked out images. Just the results daily as soon as it changes at midnight Australian time. I switched out my starting word to one recommended from a SciAm game theory article.
You don’t need an account for that. When you solve the puzzle and your stats pop up, scroll down and you’ll find a “SHARE” button. Scroll again and you’ll find a “COPY” button. Then you can paste your grid here.
If you want to, of course. I won’t insist, but the more the merrier. Nice to see new faces in the thread!
Also, if you see the blurry stuff after the pic with all the green and yellow squares in most players’ posts, that’s their guesses, just blurred out.
How you get that is, you type them in, select that text, then click on that little gear in the upper right corner and scroll down to “Blur Spoiler” and click on that. Then people can click on the blur to see your actual guesses, once they’ve solved the day’s Wordle on their own.
Most of the possibilities after my starting word had already been used. I was down to CHASE, CHASM, CRASH, and GRASS. So I was going to do one of those first two to guarantee a 3, and I won that mental coin toss.
