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

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

Re: Wordle
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.

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

I used pause today and still got it in five.
I've never played Mastermind.

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

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

Re: Wordle
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!

I usually start with irate or least.
It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

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

Re: Wordle
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.

Re: Wordle
I love this.
I got it on the last try both yesterday and today. I started with heart today and I think sweat yesterday.

Re: Wordle
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!
