Yuuuuck, took a bad approach today. Seemed like a good idea at the time

If you want a real challenge, try Sanuli, the Finnish version. :slight_smile:

The real challenge will be when somebody crosses Wordle with Conway’s Game of Life and you only win if you get the word AND your final yellow-letter pattern is stable.

As you can see, I landed on the same combination of green letters as you one row earlier. Still took an experimental elimination of letters before I managed to find the right word in the last line.

That progression of yellow is pleasing

There’s already an “adversarial” version.

Yeah, this one was hard. Getting that 0-fer on the fourth try (and eliminating almost every common consonant) made the options very limited.

I guess searching for the word list is a puzzle in its own right, but for me it would kinda take the fun out of it.

Today’s Wordle, letters edited out:

wordle 16jan pattern 120

I’m new to it, but I got in a good early guess and went from there (though my third guess wasn’t in the wordlist-- I’m not sure why that doesn’t count as a guess.)

If you click on “share” and then “copy text” it does all the editing out for you:

So that players can’t cheat by entering strings of letters that are not real words. If your opening “guess” was AEIOU you would get at least one letter revealed straight away.
