Wordle ** WARNING: THERE ARE PROBABLY HINTS TO THE DAILY WORD IN HERE **

5 attempts here, for some reason had assumed...

Spoiler

each letter was only used once

Really threw me

Same for me on both points

 

[SilverTongue]

i got no letters on my first word and then the first two on my second guess but it still took me all five to get the answer. i bet someone clever has written some sort of automatic robot that solves these though.

I see what you did there

So what are your overall records like? I'm averaging around four guesses.

 

[Yaayuh!]

5th attempt today

 

[mrk]

Didn't understand it for the first 3 goes but then realised how to play the damn thing and got it lol. This could get... addictive.

 

[aardvark]

got it in 3 today (5 yesterday)

so by tomorrow i estimate i will get it in 1.

 

[Russinating]

Not played before but got it in 2! Psyched.

Tricky one today but clicked on last attempt.

Been doing these the last few days, only had one that stumped me as it turned out to be an American spelling.

That one was annoying, especially as it is on a co.uk domain!

Don't think I'll ever beat my first go today. 3 guesses!

4 attempts

I had the first two confirmed and one of the last 3 letters after 3 attempts. I was going through combinations and literally could not come up with any plausible words so I thought I would reuse letters 1 and 2, reuse the letter I knew was one of the last three so I reused a letter, I picked the O, and boom it was the actual word

I think I did well due to my first word having absolutely no letters of the correct word. Really helpful.

The marking of the keyboard keys is so helpful

How many of you are just plucking a random word to start and how many are using a particular tactic, like starting with vowel heavy words?

Try to make sure word has no duplicate letters and common letters (low Points in scrabble)

Aren't vowels are less important to discover?

No repeat letters
"Common" consonants
At least two vowels

Yeah, I'm into this now. Last night and the this morning. Took my whole game last night to work out how to play but got todays in 4 attempts.

I got lucky though I think. I got 2 letters in the right place 1st go.

I find it easier to work out the vowels first. It implicitly rules out other letters because there's only certain letters/patterns which can exist around those vowels.

I feel this makes more sense. Easier to guess vowels. But more choice around the consonants?
