Wordle

[choxorn]

I played it a few times and got bored of it because I was nearly always getting it on the first try.

 

[The_J]

I missed it again by 1 today .

 

[tjs282]

I missed it again by 1 today .

Bad luck!

I got it in 4, but could easily have been 3 (or 5) if I'd guessed the last consonant sooner (or later):

Spoiler :

R A T E S
S C I O N

Spoiler Does it have an "H"? :

S H I L L

Spoiler Sooo... P or K? :

S P I L L

While I don't think I'll be doing Worldle every day, today's challenge was worth it:

Spoiler :

Looks like the choice is less than random....

Spoiler :

I recognized the Crimean peninsula right away, of course, but surprised I had to think for a second which country it was attached to.

 

[The_J]

First 3 guesses today allowed me to piece together where probably 4 of the characters should be.
Then I guessed twice a word which sounded like it could exist, and it did, but I had never heard it. Only afterwards I guessed the correct word, which I actually knew. Stupid brain .

 

[Hygro]

I opened with TRUNK. I’m pretty much only doing bad openers now.

 

[tjs282]

I found today's quite tricky. Maybe I should stop playing on Hard mode...

Spoiler Eventually got it in 5... :

R A T E S
D E M O N
E P O X Y
W H O L E

Spoiler OK, if it isn't that, it must be... :

C H O K E

 

[Hygro]

3 in hard mode

Spoiler :

1) pinko
2) rocky
3) choke

Well, I had a similar progression, took me 5 because:

Spoiler :

I entered "whole" on 2nd guess and then "phone" and "shore" before finally seeing the right answer!

 

[tjs282]

Today's was "easy" — but only because my arbitrary starter happened to give me 2/5 letters correctly placed, and my second lucked out with the second consonant:

Spoiler :

R I T E S
R O P E D

Spoiler Nope, not gonna pick the 'A'-word, let's try 'U' instead :

R U P E E

Boo-yah!

Has anybody tried quordle? (https://www.quordle.com/)
My brother sent me the link yesterday, saying I might like it because I like frac (3D tetris, but actually I like frac4d), and this was like 3D wordle (it isn't). It was kind of interesting, though - guess 4 words in 9 guesses, but you have to use the same guesses for each word. You get the same 5 wrong guesses as wordle gives, sort of. I finished with a guess to spare yesterday, but it took rather more thinking than wordle usually does without being as long as forcing absurdle into the wordle word (which so far I've managed each day).

took me 6 and I call BS on the word

 

[El_Machinae]

My initial word choices turned out to be super lucky, and that made it a lot easier.

 

[tjs282]

took me 6 and I call BS on the word

Why? It's the usual English transliteration of the name

Spoiler :

of the Indian currency-unit — and lots of other places as well, per Wiki:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupee

— which has been in circulation (badumm-tssshhh) for at least a couple of centuries already.

Today's was another "easy" one:

Spoiler Got it in 3 again... :

R A T E S
S A I N T

Spoiler Ooh, that's... :

N A S T Y

 

[The_J]

Took me all 6 guesses, had 2 of the letters on all places besides the right one before the final guess .

That’s right, rupee is a name.

 

[tjs282]

That’s right, rupee is a name.

Yes, and...? It's a general noun, no different to "pound" or "penny", or even "dinar" — which I'm willing to bet are also in the list of valid Wordle solutions.

EDIT:
X-post shows that I would have lost that bet...

 

[GinandTonic]

No capital. Allowed in scrabble. Melted my brain a bit too.

Man, quordle is hard. Yesterday I gave it a shot playing as I would wordle in hard mode. Not a good idea. Got three. Today I went for a couple of eliminate common letter words first, but got unlucky with chasing down the specific consonants. Still ended up with three.

Spoiler :

Not WROTH but FROTH, not WOKEN or WOVEN but WOMEN

Yep, both are.

 

[tjs282]

Well, that'll teach me to edit my post before I refresh the page... "dinar" isn't on that list after all...
