Wordle- Who is playing?

[martikus]

I struggled with today’s. Just couldn’t visualize even though I had 3 letters. But finally got on try 6. I’m enjoying this daily puzzle.

No idea how to play.

It's an web-based daily word game (not an app). Here: https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/

The goal is to guess the 5-letter word. Once you enter a guess, it will tell you if you got any letters right. Green if they're the correct letter in the correct position, yellow means that the letter is in the correct word, but not in the position shown in your guess. Based on the info revealed after your first guess, you can guess again. The goal is to get the correct word within 6 tries.

Just started playing this today and got it in 3 tries. Fun game that really makes you strategize! I’m glad there’s only one word a day so I don’t spend hours playing.

You can also do 6 and 7 letter words.

Three for me today

I've been doing these about a month, now, and got it in two just twice! There are so many words in the English language, there's a big dollop of luck involved in which you choose. Still fun guessing/working it out, though.

I think that's pretty amazing actually! Kind of wish they showed average guesses for each word or some other stats.

4 tries for me today. It's a fun game!

4 today, but DH got it in 3!

Are any others here "math people" who are trying to figure out a way to calculate more stats than what it shows? I'd like to know average number of tries, but I'm not sure what to do with the ones you don't solve at all - do you just set an arbitrary number (7?, 10?) for the ones you don't solve, or is it better to reverse it to a sort of "points" system - like 6 points for solving it on 1, 5, for getting it in 2...1 for taking all 6 attempts, and 0 if you don't get it at all?

4 also today. I think you're on to something with the reverse system -that way you can take a zero if you don't complete it

Thought I'd get it in three, but nope. Good opportunity for me to practice my rhyming words.

It's still amazing that you got from one stranded letter to four correct in one move!

Wordle 222 4/6

For those who really enjoy the "one and done" aspect of Wordle, you might also enjoy an app (yes, this is an actual download game) called Tiny Little Crosswords. Each day you get a set of letters that you need to slot into the puzzle to make words (usually only about four words to solve). They give you clues, but some of the clues can be quite tricky and the answers aren't always what you would expect them to be, until you finally figure it out and it all makes sense. They have a series of puzzles that are free to play, but when you run out of those, you are down to the one free puzzle per day.

I giggled today... I am a dirty minded person.

I did the same..... what can I say

I got lucky on my 2nd try today. First time I have gotten it in 2 tries. My friend sent me his from yesterday - he had gotten it on the first guess.

 

[sjrec]

It will probably never happen again, but I got it on the second try. And nothing on my first word carried over.
A very lucky deduction/guess.

Me! I just discovered this little gem yesterday (on Facebook). So FUN! Yesterday was 5/6; today was 4/6.

My whole family is playing this. I love it.
