Was it shame? It was, wasn’t it?

Darn it, you guys. I can no longer do Quordle. There’s no way I can go back to it after today:

And for those wondering, yep, that’s my Quordle technique of 3 words right off the bat to cover 15 letters. So for example with the 4th puzzle, after those 3 guesses I had all 5 letters, just not in the right order yet.

Wow, that’s absolutely amazing… done in 6!

What’s your starting strategy?

It’s similar to yours… three words covering 15 different letters before I start to solve. Which three are optimal isn’t something I have figured out yet.

Oh mine was similar today! My last guess was an apt expression of my utter defeat as I chased the last letter :hole:

I’m going with good thing.

Hah, I got Quordle in 6 today too, but not in the same order as you. (So I can’t quite say “Owe me a coke” :slight_smile: ) I think it’s the first time for me, but I’m not sure because when I cleared my browser history it wiped out my Quordle stats.

I’ve recently started the strategy of hitting all the vowels in the first two guesses (instead of just thinking of new and interesting five-letter words each day). I was using UNITE and SOAPY. Today I used MOUSE and RAINY.

I’ve really been enjoying Octordle, thanks to a mention of it by @allenk in another topic about Wordle (their link in the other topic didn’t work, but I found the site easily enough). I think Octordle isn’t really any harder—and maybe even easier!—because (similar to what you said about your technique with Quordle) usually by the time I get to the last grids, many/most of the letters have been eliminated or found, just needing rearranging.
