@ENoeuf

So does the repeat letter not go dark grey?
Oh that's a thought !

First time playing. Had four letters in 3 goes and the double letter thing threw me as I couldn't work out how to make a word with those ketters!

The app ripped off the original web designer so I avoid out of principle

Omicrone · 20/01/2022 08:10

The one and only time I got it in two I had started with the word 'penis' Smile

Clawdy · 20/01/2022 08:23

I heard about "adieu" too, but it's more fun to use a different word really. I try to use one with three vowels, like "raise" or "house".

@AuntieStella

I was very cross the day of 'favor'!!
My twitter was just full of Brits complaining that day 😂

With thanks to Brian Bilston:

Concerning Today's Wordle

Americans,
I have news to report.

I have done the 'math'
And you're one letter short.

That extra letter
Gives it colour and flavour.

Yours with candour,

You need to watch Lingo on itv in the afternoons... it's a game show Wordle! Against the clock!

JustJustWhy · 20/01/2022 08:29

As a total binge watcher of TV I'm glad there's only one of these per day! Love it but also wasn't impressed with favor (though I did still get it!).

I've only failed once and I can't remember what it was. I think it was the beginning of last week. Used to love playing Mastermind when I was a kid.

I use aeons to start. Apparently heart and sound are good too.

UnaOfStormhold · 20/01/2022 08:30

@Crowdfundingforcake I love that poem but you missed off the best bit, where he signs off "Brian Bilstoun".

IsolaPribby · 20/01/2022 08:32

@Clevs thanks, but oh dear, I'm supposed to be working!

Crowdfundingforcake · 20/01/2022 08:32

Una!

I hadn't even noticed he'd done that....... Brilliant.

It caused uproar in our family.

ButtonSister · 20/01/2022 08:38

I'm wondering if it will ever use plurals?

CraftyYankee · 20/01/2022 08:45

@ButtonSister

I'm wondering if it will ever use plurals?
I read somewhere that it could happen but so far has only occurred two or three times. So not an immediate go to for the first word!
waterlego · 20/01/2022 08:50

I loved Mastermind as a kid too @JustJustWhy! Used to play it with my Dad. seeing the picture of the box has made me nostalgic. It’s such a ridiculous photo on the box though 😂

A friend alerted me to this website where you can play endless games of Wordle if you wish
foldr.moe/hello-wordl/

Here are two of my recent games on there, one very frustrating and one very satisfying. I always start with AROSE because it’s got three vowels and S and R are useful.

@Clevs thanks for that link-brilliant to scratch my "want to do another one" itch-
but I have just somehow whiled away half an hour that I should have been using productively -this might be bad Grin

Figgygal · 20/01/2022 09:03

How do people share their grids when complete it never works for me

Got todays in 4

I start with spade - no idea why

ShinyPikachu · 20/01/2022 09:05

I always start with "stare" as it's the two most common vowels and 3 of the most common consonants and there are more consonants to rule out overall. I'm averaging 3 guesses to get it most often although some words are more of a pain than others. Today I got it in two.

ButtonSister · 20/01/2022 09:13

@craftyyankee
Thank you , that's useful to know

banivani · 20/01/2022 09:14

Oh this is the first day I lost, and it was because I thought it was repeat letters but it wasn't. :( I put in two same letters and one was yellow one green. So I thought it meant the word had two and one was in the wrong place. But it didn't, only one. :(((

Peridot1 · 20/01/2022 09:15

I love it too. Got it in 4 today.

Can’t manage to share it though. How do I do that?
