Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Jon Freeman Date: 19 May 22 - 09:06 AM Maybe my turn for roll now: 3 yesterday and 2 today: Wordle 334 2/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Mind you, as they say, pride goes before a fall... |

Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 17 May 22 - 12:13 PM You're not wrong. I nosedived to a five. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Jon Freeman Date: 16 May 22 - 07:42 AM Maybe but things can change... I had my second failure since I last posted here. It was one where I recognised the same place I'd been once before (same letters correctly placed and 2 gaps to fill. I also remembered realising after my (correct) guess from there last time, I'd got lucky and there were numerous possibilities. This time, I decided to waste a word to reduce the words that would fit the pattern but it wasn't enough to save me on my 2 remaining guesses. From there, it's been 4 or 5 on the days (I missed one or two) I've played it. Today was 4. Wordle 331 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |

Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 16 May 22 - 06:11 AM My last three goes have been 2, 2, 3. Am I on a roll? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Stilly River Sage Date: 13 May 22 - 10:55 AM The speller/divider list to the rescue today. It only works if I have a good idea of what the first 2 or 3 letters might be. Wordle 328 5/6 ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 12 May 22 - 03:13 PM Five. A struggle today as I had just one orange by line 2 then adopted some weak strategy. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 09 May 22 - 03:33 PM A very quick three today. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 09 May 22 - 03:32 PM "Homer." What a stinker! I see that the NYT has removed "fetus" from its bank of answer words. Just as well, as, among other things, they can't even spell it. ;-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 08 May 22 - 08:38 PM I got it in three in under two minutes. Mrs Steve spent ages on it, eventually getting it in five. I've admonished her for overthinking it. But pride goeth before a fall... |

Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Stilly River Sage Date: 08 May 22 - 01:47 PM My first two guesses ruled out charismatic letters I usually look for. Wordle 323 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |

Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 05 May 22 - 04:14 PM Yep. I held back too, but tomorrow there may be wigs on the green... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Stilly River Sage Date: 05 May 22 - 03:23 PM I used a throwaway word on the third row and got lucky today. I was going to make a remark about the nature of the word itself, but must resist, because that would be a spoiler. Wordle 320 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟨🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |

Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 05 May 22 - 08:32 AM Four. Some will not be happy... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Stilly River Sage Date: 04 May 22 - 05:50 PM It's a starter word I use sometimes - but not today. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Jeri Date: 04 May 22 - 04:44 PM I'm on the same choo-choo that Jon is. Got it in two and was super-surprised. (Too lazy to do the HTML.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 04 May 22 - 03:53 PM Three. I also know someone who bagged it in one, Nigel! I suppose it was a good starter word... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Stilly River Sage Date: 04 May 22 - 03:10 PM Wow. Dumb luck, that, Nigel! Wordle 319 4/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Jon Freeman Date: 04 May 22 - 10:39 AM Yesterday was four. Today, letters just fell into place for a two. Wordle 319 2/6 🟨🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |

Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Jeri Date: 02 May 22 - 11:17 AM People don't realize some are smart enough to figure out their hints. Got it first time. 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 02 May 22 - 07:31 AM Mrs Steve also suffered last-letter syndrome today. She adopted (after a lot of persuasion) the Jon Freeman throwaway-word strategy to nail that last letter and got it in four. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Jon Freeman Date: 02 May 22 - 06:34 AM It could have been 2 for me too had I picked a different last letter. It took me 4. Wordle 317 4/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 02 May 22 - 06:09 AM Two! I got just three orange ones in my first word. I'm not trying a first-word strategy any more. I pick up a book or mag and use the first five-letter word I see that doesn't look too outlandish, which has mainly common letters and which has five different letters. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Stilly River Sage Date: 01 May 22 - 10:33 AM One I haven't had to spell before (though I've used it in speech). Wordle 316 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |

Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Jon Freeman Date: 01 May 22 - 06:57 AM My last three have taken 5. I put the first one down to carelessness but I simply struggled with the later two. Here's today's: Wordle 316 5/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Stanron Date: 01 May 22 - 06:53 AM I've just looked at the Facebook Wordle group and someone posted OUIJA as a five letter word with four vowels. Along with AUDIO and ADIEU that gives me three starting words. Anyone got any more? I got today's in four. It looked impossible on go two. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Stilly River Sage Date: 30 Apr 22 - 11:52 AM Four here also. Thank you, Random House Speller/Divider that also let me see the only one that would fit with the letters I'd eliminated. (It maybe helps in about 1 in 10 puzzles). Wordle 315 4/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Jeri Date: 30 Apr 22 - 10:35 AM I did it in four, too. The most help came because of the letters I eliminated - there was no other *reasonable* word that left fit. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 30 Apr 22 - 10:32 AM Four. Swift again. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Stilly River Sage Date: 29 Apr 22 - 10:19 PM That's the New Yorker, via a Facebook conduit. Still New Yorker. The tyranny of too many choices led to being skunked again today. Wordle 314 X/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ |

Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 29 Apr 22 - 03:43 PM A very swift three today. And that was before my morning flat white. (I was a bit lucky...) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 28 Apr 22 - 07:49 PM That's Facebook, Maggie. You should have said... |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 28 Apr 22 - 06:41 AM Four. And I absolutely did not expect the word I chose for line four to be the answer! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Jon Freeman Date: 28 Apr 22 - 04:40 AM Robo, in case you missed it before, you need to convert the special characters to HTML to get it to work here. There are a number of online HTML encoders around but not all work for this. This is one I know does work. |

Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: robomatic Date: 28 Apr 22 - 04:18 AM Feel free to remove my previous post and this one. SAD! |

Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Jon Freeman Date: 27 Apr 22 - 12:00 PM Four. I had one of those mind blanks trying to think of what to guess for line 3 and was on the verge of taking a break/ having a cup of coffee when something came to me. Wordle 312 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟨🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Wordle From: Steve Shaw Date: 27 Apr 22 - 11:45 AM Five. Bad tactics after a good opener. Too many alternatives by line 3 and then a poor strategy. I only got it out of sheer luck. |
