Wordle- Who is playing?

[#1hoosierfan]

I started 5 days ago. I have gotten the word by the last try all days. Today was the third guess. My best yet.

I'm playing. So far I've gotten them all too.

 

[Her Dotness]

COOL! I got one vowel on the first guess and the word on the second today--best yet.

 

[wilbur]

Yes....fun, quick game.
Playing for a week, have gotten all the answers

I saw this craze on the news last night actually and I’m confused. Are you supposed to be guessing one random 5-letter word out of the entire English language without clues? How is that possible? I can’t try it for myself because I have a company phone that blocks downloads.

Third try yesterday and 4th today. So fun. I'm sad there is only one a day.

Yes. And it's not a download.

It's kind of like hangman. The clues are from your guesses - you see which letters are or are not used and if they're in the correct place or not.

Yes!!! (And thanks for the reminder. - I haven't played today's yet!)

My niece told me about it on Friday, and I have been playing ever since. As of yesterday, I was at 80% and on a four win streak.

That was DH's reaction at first, but he tried it too and loves it! You guess the first word randomly, but then it tells it tells you what letters you have right and you narrow your guesses.

And there is no app to download. Someone linked the website a couple of posts up.

I play it randomly. My best was getting it on the 3rd try but usually it takes me longer.

 

[Moliphino]

I got it in 3 today, which was surprising because I got no letters on my first try.

Yes, I'm addicted! I love learning about different strategies for people's first word guess. I got today's in 2 guesses -- that was a first.

Tell me more - what strategy can there be for something totally random?

 

[stout]

I got the word today in 4 tries! First time playing…thanks Disboards…one more thing to be addicted to!

Using vowel-heavy words like "viola" or "audio" or words with more common letters like RSTLNE usually give you a better chance of getting at least 1 letter on your first shot.

I was going to say the same thing about RSTLNE - remember how everyone used to guess those letters first on Wheel of Fortune?

 

[PollyannaMom]

I got it in three today. My record is two. But yesterday it took me four. - I had nothing in the first two rows, so I thought I was doomed!
