Wordle

[Pippedydeadeye]

I did not get it. But it’s such a nice idea.

[Arrietty]

It’s basically Mastermind with letters, isn’t it? The game, not the program, though

[wendy james]

And I love Mastermind. I have a nice wooden version.

I’ve been doing ok with Wordle since I started - mainly 4s, a flukey 3 and one 6. I start with whatever word pops in my head that has 5 different letters.

[Bat Macdui]

I often start with STEAM but there's some very good alternative suggestions here, ta.

[Kenickie]

I used pause today and still got it in five.

I've never played Mastermind.

Without seeing the thread's suggestions, I started with WRITE, which was very lucky.

I've been doing this with some friends on WhatsApp. I like that only one can be done each day.

[Mountain Goat]

I started yesterday without really knowing what I was doing (especially the double letter thing) or putting any thought into my initial word and finally got it in 6. Slightly more thought behind todays which I got in 4, with a starting word of STOIC, because it felt like cheating to borrow anyone else's.

Excellent choice of starting word there, Nine!

[rosy]

I usually start with irate or least.

[Lola]

I find this much harder than I should

I didn’t get today’s

[Duophonic]

I wasn't getting today's at all and then hit lucky. I always get it on the last attempt.

[Zoomer]

I borrowed irate and got today's on my 6th attempt.

So it's just one word a day?

This is fun! Thanks for introducing me to it.

[purple_dress]

Got it in 3 for the first time today!

[Morganna]

I did it in three, but only because I hit lucky by using one of the start words recommended upthread, and it gave me four letters .

Was it mine? I did the same and got it in 2.

It was

[olive]

I love this.

I got it on the last try both yesterday and today. I started with heart today and I think sweat yesterday.

[olive]

I didn’t know we had a : sheep : smiley!

[Marth]

I did today's in 4 using heart. It didn't occur to me to use the same starter word

[kiwi]

I got it in two today but I can't remember what word I started with.

[Squirrel]

Two! That is excellent.

[kiwi]

I think it was quite an easy word today though, and I fluked 3 letters in the right place on the first go so it wasn't hard to work out. Yesterday I had to make up words to get me to the end so I could find out what the bloody answer was!
