I don't see the big deal, but some people are crazy about it.

Yes a genuine mistake which from
This thread half of you have never made!

You hate me?

Did you think posting that would make me feel a certain kind of way? You wasted 2 minutes writing something that has no effect on me.

I apologised so no bashing will bother me.

I remember when MN was fun.

Yes - if you want something very similar but unlimited words a day try the PuzzWord app

You know you can access all the archived wordles don't you? So I just play those too now.
Can you?

Poor old JellyTots Grin

Glad I'd already played wordle today before looking at it but did not expect the backlash over a genuine mistake.

ElleGB · 01/02/2022 07:09

For fucks sake some of you are vile - she made a genuine mistake and look at the pile on!

You hate her, she’s ruined your day? It’s a game!!

poshme · 01/02/2022 07:03

@camperqueen54 ooh how do you do that?

TheAbbotOfUnreason · 01/02/2022 07:02

@ExhaustedMumma

It’s quite satisfying but now I’m 19 days in it only takes a couple of minutes to get it on the third or fourth go. Unless you very luckily guess something close on the first go, is it really possible to guess in less than three?
I’ve never played it before and just heard about it on R4 so thought I’d try it (and no, I didn’t see the answer that had been let slip by PP).

An educated but lucky guess on the first word meant that I got it on the second try.

Thanks Nightwatchers for hiding the post and saving the day.

TheOrigRights · 01/02/2022 06:58

Hate? Spoiled your day?
Bloody hell. She made a mistake and has apologised.

JeeezLouise · 01/02/2022 06:54

Is there only one puzzle each day? I just started today, so it's basically Mastermind for words?

TheOrigRights · 01/02/2022 06:54

I don't play it and tbh am bored of two of my sisters sharing their results on our sister WhatsApp and all the people sharing it on FB.

I know it's a craze and it'll die down and I'm being miserable.

Oldtiredfedup · 01/02/2022 06:54

Thanks for my morning reminder!

TheDoveFromAboveCooCoo · 01/02/2022 06:53

Jesus can everyone stop piling on!! She made a genuine mistake. Like what are you all?? 12??

It's a game for fucks sake.

icelollycraving · 01/02/2022 06:52

I’ve seen this spoken about but going by this thread, it makes you lose your mind. She made a genuine mistake, Jesus Shock

MrsLargeEmbodied · 01/02/2022 06:52

why would you hate someone?
at least you can all get great results today!

camelfinger · 01/02/2022 06:51

I don’t think it’s a good idea to look at any Wordle threads until you’ve done it for that day.

ANightWatcher · 01/02/2022 06:51

Offending post removed
Today's Wordle is safe again 😊

@JellyTots2009

I have apologised. I honestly didn't know it was the same for all. People are getting wound up because they can't play today.

I have reported my post

Because people build up streaks.

I will play anyway and try to forget your mistake. Thanks for the apology

RitaTheBeater · 01/02/2022 06:50

@listsandbudgets

I think I hate you!!

Seriously you've given the answer away. Everyone gets the same puzzle daily.. Yluve ruined my five minutes over breakfast.

Next time either dont play at all or only put up the path you took to the answer minus letters. ( click on stats and then share it does ot for you)

Spoiling the wordle should be a crime..Gutted

Me too.

Yes! Love it.
It's about the only thing I am consistently successful at at the moment - my secret (until now) 100% pride.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 01/02/2022 06:24

good tip @ForcingSmiles

I've got in less than 3 before, My rule of thumb...always start with "Audio" or "Adieu"... get the vowels out the way then you can work it out from there
Idontgiveagriffindamn · 01/02/2022 06:09

I had the best day yesterday and got it in one. Literally told everyone I knew 🤣
Thankfully I’d played today before reading this thread and did it in 2. But that feels like a disappointment now!
