The great WORDLE topic (Part 1)

Heck, you’re close to 6 on that. Maybe I should retire if you get all four in six or less.:thinking:

Great one, thanks! I’ve been following up with POINT/PAINT recently and it’s worked quite well for when I get an A on the first run, which is quite often. TBH, AMUSE seems like it almost always gets me 1-3 letters. I’ve been playing the archive quite a bit and use it to experiment with options (and sometimes allow myself to peek at a Scrabble site).

I’ve been liking “fluid” and “cupid” as optional second words if I don’t get any hits with whatever a/e or o word I try first.
I like some of the thinking here, though, that finding consonants first might be more effective…

I’ve had a good streak recently on Quordle by picking three words at the start that span a lot of common consonants, and forgetting about the vowels.

I played “lewdle” today after seeing the link above and, I have to say, I was very disappointed in myself at how difficult I found it to think up 5-letter lewd words they’d accept! My old salty-dawg days appear to be behind me!
Got wordle in 3 though, and it can kind of be construed as lewd, if you’re into wordplay :wink:

You can flip the switch to ‘sheltered play’ (weird word choice) which allows you to use any 5-letter word, not just lewd ones. It’s the only way I can play, too.

Mine looks almost exactly like that. Sometimes luck is a huge factor.

Also, TIL that “slave” isn’t in its list of words.

That’s exactly how it was for me, too. And because of my work, I kept fighting back on a FIFTH nearly-identical word that comes up often for me in life, but I knew was almost certainly not the right word here.
