Nah Rio, using a cat is definitely cheating. Be ashamed.

I think the guy who sets the word knows the common strategies and chooses the word accordingly.

I’m pretty sure it’ll just be a random word from a list of 5-letter words.

Edit: It is apparently not even random and easily predictable. Explained here:

From the list of answers, this is the letter frequency. This might differ slightly from a more general corpus because high-frequency words tend to be short so including 2, 3, and 4-letter words might have a higher proportion of vowels, for example.

Heh this is interesting: https://freshman.dev/wordle/#/leaderboard

Seems like it would be possible to do better.

Have we sucked the fun out of it yet?

I’m late to the party but got the first two in three attempts. I do like a word game. This reminds me of the word ladder game that was in the I newspaper which was a good challenge.

I struggled today because after 4 goes I was sure knew what the answer was, but thought it was spelt with a different first letter – which stumped me as wordle said my spelling wasnt a word. Got it eventually after mulling it over thankfully

I failed.

Another one where it was going so well then I tried to be clever rather than going for the obvious one. Still, completed it anyway so that’s a win in my book.

Playing Pure Wordle seems to make it harder for me. Either that, or old age is ravaging my brain.

Still today’s answer might be a reasonable start for tomorrow.

Silly mistakes. Should have waited until I was fully awake.

Although I thought pure wordle was starting with yesterdays word and playing the letters you already know and not using letters already discarded.

Took more thinking than it should even though all my guesses were on the same theme

Just had a go for the first time.

In your representations what do the grey squares and xs mean?

I assume a grey square is incorrect and a x is correct.

How do you represent the right letter, wrong place?
