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.
Took me five this time.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Seems like I either get them in three, or six. I have missed one since I started playing.

I don't got no 'share' button :cry:
Refresh your browser on the page, and the summary of your results pops up with a “share” button. You have to be playing the web page wordle, not on an app (they are copycats).

Well I tried that and nothing happened at all. I'm playing on https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/ which I'm assured is the real web-site and not a copy-cat - at least, according to BusinessInsider

That’s the correct site. Its a pop-up, so perhaps you need to allow them.

Than Kyew! I didn't know there was such a thing as a blocked pop-up. Rooted around on ABP and experimented. Voila!

I liked the pattern!

🟩⬜⬜🟩🟩

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I find it useful to start with a word including 3 different vowels.

I was working under the same premise, but was using a word with two vowels and three of the five most common consonants in English.  Took your suggestion — starting with a word with three vowels — for Monday's word with the following result:

Wordle 212 3/6

🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜
🟨⬜⬜🟩🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

So I've played seven games since I found this... four words in three guesses, one required four, and it took me five guesses for the other two.
And of course, this makes me miss Katherine (Katie Barefoot) all the more.  I think she would have enjoyed a little time-killer like this too.
