WORDLE

[CaroleF]

I thought there was just a chance I might get it in two today, no. Then on the third attempt I watched the squares turn green and I thought, yes three not too bad but then the final letter went black! Just for a minute I couldn't think what on earth the final letter could be as the first four were, shall we say, unusual but then I realised, so it was four today, not two, not even three.

I see it's getting on for a year since I last tackled Wordle. Today I decided to see if it's still operating - it is. It has changed slightly in that it now offers an analysis of your attempt, I found it really interesting. My first attempt in nearly a year and I did it in three, not bad I thought. I'd almost forgotten about it and thought it might now charge for entry and although it tries to encourage you to subscribe to the New York Times it is still possible to tackle the puzzle without a subscription.

Hi Carole I’m still doing Wordle - never stopped but had to join the NY Times site to get it after it was sold on. I’m not tempted to subscribe either. I rarely fail but get a “phew” now and again - remembering it’s an American site helps sometimes with the spelling!

[Meg 50]

I use the same starter word every day


today I solved the puzzle in ONE attempt - so clearly time for a new starter word!


have you tried Quordle?

[CaroleF]

I've never managed it in one. Looking at the records the NYT have I've managed it in two, three times. No I've never looked at Quordle. Will have a look.

[Meg 50]

I found quordle hard until I read somewhere that one should - initially at any rate - concentrate on one word at a time rather than 'scattergunning'
You get 9 goes to get 4 words.
I manage it most, though by no means all, days

[Cruzeroqueen1]

Have you Wordle fans tried Quordle? Same as Wordle but playing 4 boards at the same time - great fun!

Anyone still doing this?

I am on a 260 run

[Mervyn and Trish]

I've not done it for weeks

[Jan Rosser]

I’m still doing it. That’s quite an achievement David - before the run I’m on now I had completed 117 then had one of those words I hate with so many alternatives and failed to choose the right word

[cruisin_duo]

Still doing it. Complete it on different devices, but have been completing it since lockdown, and compete with family.

[CaroleF]

A few months ago I did go back and tackle Wordle for a few days then forgot about it again. Maybe now I'll go back and have another look. Did I read a few days ago that Quordle was ending, or did I dream that?

Totally devastated today - broke my 345 day run, hade four letters in the correct place on the second go with five words to choose from and only four guesses

Oh, that’s a shame.

I start with the same word most days, which works for me. However, today I got to 5 before I entered the correct word.

[Mervyn and Trish]

See Stephen for a compo form.

Had 3 correct letters on 2nd go then 4 on third go but so many alternatives it took me to 6th line before I got it right - hate when there are so many choices - could easily have failed today

[Ranchi]

Haven’t done Wordle for ages but saw today’s was trending- so gave it a go.
Enjoyed it - got lucky & got it in 4. Some of the Twitterati complained that they hadn’t heard of the word so it directed me towards more traditional ideas.

[david63]

I've never stopped doing it - currently on 104 streak

[Jan Rosser]

On an 81 streak - never stopped - it’s part of my morning routine. Going on cruise on Saturday and probably won’t be able to access site - bit annoying but no intention of buying internet package.

[Stephen]

Have a good one Jan

I never finished the first one….that’s three hours I’ll never get back in my life.

Have a nice cruise Jan

[allatc]

Got it in 5.

I also do Quordle and Octordle

[Jan Rosser]

Flippin Wordle - 4 correct letters on second line and guess what fifth line I got it right- hate those words with so many alternatives

Same here Jan, I also hate to see that it only has one true vowel.

[towny44]

I got a Magnificent 2 today after having 2 correct locations on my first word, only my 6th overall.
