wowsers, that took me until the last go, spent ages before my last chance just trying to think of any 5 letter word with my remaining letters….

Spoiler:

STARE
PLEAD
WAKEN
ACHED (so at this point still only E and A correct)
BOGUS (just to hopefully coax new letters from 4 not used yet, all i got was a B in the wrong place)
ABBEY

had to walk away and leave it 15 mins or so, then it just came to me when i thought about the possibility of any double letters. was determined not to give up.

Today pretty much as per @blokeuptheroad, without the fourth line.
A good way to spend the time waiting for the kettle to boil and coffee to steep.

@danposs86 – very similar to me. I must have spent 10 minutes staring at it trying to work out ANY words that would fit after I’d got to the point of the two greens!

4 for me again today. Spent far too long thinking about it but I guess it paid off in the end 🙂

I like this, can see it becoming a daily thing!

I do it every morning while drinking my morning brew, really helps kickstart the old grey matter and give s me time to think the puzzle through.

Second guess was a mistake, went hunting for more vowels, should have focused on consonants.

Same here but went 50/50 on my two thoughts and went the wrong way.

Agreed, got there in 5 but having got the first 4 getting the fifth one right within 6 just came down to luck.

Maybe a lucky guess today but nailed it in 3

Failed two days on the run so pretty pleased to get today quite quick.

Tried this harder version yesterday, there’s a long explanation around what makes it different, but I couldn’t get my head around it.

Worth a look if you’re desperate for another fix

Absurdle

Posted 5 months ago

That absurdle is quite nice.

My understanding is that absurdle does not select a word at the beginning, but instead prunes the list with each of your guesses until only one word remains (kind of like highlander;-).

So the challenge isn’t to “guess” the word, it’s to prune the list to only a single word in the minimum number of steps.

My best so far is 11.

Scratch that, got to an answer in 8.

Posted 5 months ago

I got today’s Wordle (14 Jan) on second attempt! Well chuffed with that.

I wonder if anybody has entered the answer as their first word…

Posted 5 months ago

question:
If you used the Miketually method ROUTE followed by SNAIL, if you got an amber on the first would you still go for the second regardless?

Posted 5 months ago

I find it useful to rule out/in some more letters so almost always use SNAIL second. I might not if I got a green.

Posted 5 months ago

I started with SCOPE. Nil.

Then, for some reason, chose THIS…. click for the grande reveal!

DrP

Posted 5 months ago

I always use ALIEN and then YOUTH to start.

Identifies all possible vowel sounds in two goes.

Posted 5 months ago

If you used the Miketually method ROUTE followed by SNAIL, if you got an amber on the first would you still go for the second regardless?

I start with IDEAL and decide the second word based on the response to the first. I think you are better to work on consonants with the second rather than persisting with vowels if you hit a vowel in the first. I tend to use words like TRAIN as the second, depending on the results of the first (TRAIN is good if you get a yellow I and A, for example). Sticking with the same two starting words is mostly just wasting opportunities to get information.

Posted 5 months ago

I quite like starting with GREAT or ABOUT, they use lots of commonly occurring letters and I do like to narrow down the vowels as soon as possible. I think a lot is luck (sorry) I have scored two a couple of times (have been doing it for about 10 days) I am usually 4/5 and got a 6 this morning. I think I perform better when I do not over think it!
