Mine is ankle. No idea why, I’m sure there are better ones!

@KimikosNightmare That's true, my random words aren't completely random. They don't have repeat letters in.

Today's word was tricky

(It wasn't actually 'tricky' BTW 🤔)

Mouse followed by steal covers all vowels, common letters

Mouse followed by later would be better for you!

Giant, penis either would would work well.. 😉

I confess I have created a list of random
5 letter words as I complete each wordle to help the enigma machine crank out a #1 or #2 victory

Resin, followed by loath if not successful. Apparently those are the 10 most used letters!

Pears. My dd is good at wordle but she does it differently to me. She puts in her first word, then on the second line she puts in another word, not using any of the letters that she got right in the first one iykwim, thereby maximising the letters she finds. She nearly always gets it on the 3rd go, while my average is 4.
That’s an interesting strategy! I might try it out on one of the past wordless sites

Wordle! I am many things but not wordless.

Difficult word today - 5th try.

BrieAndChilli · 14/02/2022 12:05

i use a different one each time but my second word always contains completely different letters to the first if it hasnt found any matches

That's my approach. It's not just about maximising how many you find, it's at least as much about maximising elimination. I still don't usually get it in 3, but did today.

It changes. For example, yesterday I started with QUEEN and got it in 3, today I started with BRAIN and it took 4 moves. So I think that maybe it depends on my mood?
