Wordle

[Arakhor]

I recognised Heardle 60s nearly immediately, but I had no idea that was what it was called.

 

[The_J]

Failed at Wordle today :/.

 

[Bestbank Tiger]

Didn't get the regular Heardle.

Got Heardle 80s in one second.

Same thing happened today.

I recognized the standard Heardle but couldn't place it.

Now back in the office after a 2-week break, so what better time to start doing these again?

Today's Framed turned out to be a movie that I'd actually seen, so was pretty easy. Though I didn't remember the first shot at all, and the second looked vaguely familiar but I couldn't remember exactly where I'd seen it, the third immediately gave it away

Spoiler :

(1) Skeletal warrior with green backlighting ≠ The Mummy
(2) Fiery figure resembling the Balrog ≠ LOTR:TFOTR

Spoiler :

(3) Jeff Goldblum wearing a colourful costume plus face-paint = Thor: Ragnarok

On to Quordle, and the first of my standard starters turned out to be one of the solutions (which was bound to happen eventually). Still took me 6 more guesses to get the fourth, though (1/4/7/5)

Spoiler Monday August 1st, one solution immediately visible on opening :

CLOUD
MIGHT
SPARE

Spoiler :

_ _ O R _ plus H, T, ? = THORN
_ H _ N _ plus I, E, ? = WHINE
H, A, R, E, ? ≠ HAVER —> REHAB

To complete this lucky streak, my Wordle starter gave me 2 greens and 1 yellow, and the solution on Guess 2 (Hard Mode)...

Spoiler Both guesses immediately visible under this, so don't open it unless you've done it already! :

STARE
QUART

My second and third guesses were exactly the same as yours.

 

[choxorn]

It took me 6 guesses to get the wordle one despite having 4 of the letters yellow for a while because I just couldn't come up with the word for the longest time.

 

[Hygro]

I took 6 as well, with greens on 2 and 4 by guess 3. Boy did I have some weird ones.

 

[Hygro]

today was a 4 green guess the last letter game.

 

[choxorn]

3/4/5/7 in Quordle, closest I've ever come to finishing in less than 7 guesses

Spoiler :

Started with:

STONE
HAILY

_ _ _ _ _ - all letters known but none in the right place (S, T, E, A, L)- LEAST
_ _ _ _ _ - have (T, O, N, H) - MONTH
_ _ _ S T plus (E) - CREST
_RI_E - PRIDE, PRIZE

 

[Arakhor]

You've never failed a single Quordle?

 

[choxorn]

I've failed to get all 4 a couple of times, but most of the time I get it in 9 guesses (sometimes with some lucky guesses at the end), where did I say I'd never failed a Quordle?

 

[Arakhor]

Ooohh! Sorry, I totally misread what you wrote. I thought you said you'd always finished in 7 or less guesses.

 

[tjs282]

Today's Framed was an easy one, because it was a movie I'd really enjoyed

Spoiler Tuesday 9th August :

(1) Geiger-esque structure/ship(?) exploding in spaaaace ≠ Avengers: Infinity War

Spoiler Got it on Guess 2... :

(2) Human male from behind, looking up at orange rocks falling off a low cliff = Galaxy Quest

Quordle was a pig, with 3/4 of the solutions including only a single vowel, and/or doubled and/or uncommon letters. My ninth guess was a bit of a gamble, because I wouldn't have (mis)spelled that word like that — but OTOH, I couldn't think of anything else that worked with the letters I had left... (9/6/8/7)

Spoiler All solutions revealed in a screengrab, now that the Forum-upgrade hides Spoiler'd images properly... :

Wordle was easier, and I got it in four:

Spoiler Guess 3 gave me 4 greens... :

PARTY
PATTY

 

[Bestbank Tiger]

Heardle Decades has a feature called 80s Flip. They play the song backwards and you have to figure it out.

Wouldn't have gotten today's even if I played it forward.

 

[Bestbank Tiger]

Got the Heardle in one second. Couldn't remember the song but I knew the band so I typed that and it offered autocomplete suggestions.

 

[Arakhor]

I knew of the 70s Heardle today, but I couldn't remember its name. 80s Flip sounded familiar, but I didn't stand a chance of getting it in the short time available.

 

[choxorn]

Wordle in 4 but it was a tricky one

Spoiler :

S T O N E
H A I L Y
C H A I R

Wait... what? It's IHA__ or _HA_I? What word could this even be? (Thinks for a while)

K H A K I

 

[The_J]

Yeah, I didn't get today's :/.

K H A K I

I had a similar. On 2 I had the same greens and yellow, so that gave me the answer on the next… after a while of being like um

 

[Yeekim]

Today's was another one of those.
3 greens on 2nd attempt and still lost.
