That guess on turn 5 for the UL was a real rookie mistake. I already knew one of the letters didn’t belong there. :woman_shrugging:t2:

I stared at all 5 letters in the bottom left for several minutes before, duh.

I got the o on the first guess and the e on the second. I then luckily chose the correct word on my third.

Yes that one didnt seem to be a word many folk would ever use.

My second to last word was RUBLE which would have been topical at least.

UR is a word I dont think I’ve ever used.

ETA: corrected RR to say UR

The one thing I will say about today’s Wordle (took me 5 tries, so believe me, I get it!) is that it’s a perfectly ordinary word for over a billion people.

Wordle in 4, so that wasn’t too bad! Got it in 3 yesterday.

5 Likes

So after the 8th try, instead of finishing off the upper-right, you pulled together the upper-left from a hodgepodge of greens and yellows (and possibly at least one blank)?

Were you TRYING to play on the hardest mode possible??!!

6 Likes

Like I said - I panicked!! I also didn’t realize I was on guess 8 at the time, or I probably would have tried a little harder on the RUQ instead of throwing a Hail Mary at the LUQ.

I really wanted the RUQ to be DEWAR and when it wasn’t I got grumpy, haha.

Me too! Who the heck uses debar? I wasn’t even positive it was a word, I just had no other options.

I for one could go for an 80s style analogue version of wordle like Mastermind (a childhood favorite of mine).

Some scrabble tiles and cribbage pegs would get you most of the way there. Could be a fun little project.

Someone in another topic linked this version: Croword

A lot like Mastermind. Ah! Found it!

I’ve been playing it, too. Thank you, @Ken_Southerland!!

I had one of these in the late 70s. It generated a 3 to 5 digit number and you guessed like Master Mind and Wordle.

It’s what I first thought of when I started playing Wordle.
