WORDLE – The Internet's Newest Favorite Game
W O R D L E
Players get six chances to guess a five-letter word. Every time they guess the correct letter in the correct spot, it turns green. Correct letters picked but in an incorrect position are highlighted in yellow. The more letters the player gets right, the more information they have at their disposal, but their chances of winning early in the game depend on what the word is that day and which letters they decide to guess first.
Have fun!!

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
Re: WORDLE – The Internet's Newest Favorite Game
Ooh, I got today's word in three guesses.
It's as much or more helpful to know which letters are not in the word, because that cuts down hugely on possible guesses. I had four incorrect letters in my first guess, but that was two vowels and two common consonants that I knew could not be in the answer. Made it much easier to zero in on the correct answer.

It took me four guesses to get it right but it took me a while to understand the instructions so I think I'm dumber than my score shows.

Re: WORDe LE – The Internet's Newest Favorite Game
I just discovered this today, so I'm waiting to see if the game will be restricted only to words in which all the letters are different, or if words that use the same letter more than once — DRILL, for example, or SIEGE — will eventually turn up.

Got mine on fourth try.
Re: WORDe LE – The Internet's Newest Favorite Game
I opened your post since it seemed sure to be harmless, so I will tell you that yes, letters do appear twice in the same word. That was discussed in one of the articles I read about the game, possibly the link I shared.Bicycle Bill wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 2:04 amI just discovered this today, so I'm waiting to see if the game will be restricted only to words in which all the letters are different, or if words that use the same letter more than once — DRILL, for example, or SIEGE — will eventually turn up.

Interesting. A kind of alphabet version of the old colored pegs "Mastermind" in which black and white peg responses showed if you had the right color/right place or right color/wrong place.
And it uses American "English" (so-called) spelling.

Re: WORDLE – The Internet's Newest Favorite Game
It also appears that proper nouns are not in play. I tried entering the name of a city for today's round and got a pop-up message saying it wasn't on the word list, so I was able to delete it and try a different one without it counting as one of my six attempts.BoSoxGal wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 3:56 amI opened your post since it seemed sure to be harmless, so I will tell you that yes, letters do appear twice in the same word.

Got today's Wordle on my third guess.
Re: WORDLE – The Internet's Newest Favorite Game
I got it on my 3rd try also. I was determined to at least match your score and got very anxious after missing with my first two guesses.

Yes I like the image which Guin posted above - just the squares with no letters.
Two is very good.

Wordle 211 6/6
OK at the bottom is a button "Share". That copies this pic with no letters to your clipboard; you just paste it here. So I got this one in six.
