I could not do Wordle for a few days. Started again yesterday. Just done today. Not sure the words are as random as they used to be.

Ok

CovidCorvid · 03/03/2022 06:47

I did wonder this this morning. Half thought it yesterday. Supposedly the words have been set in advance for ages but I do wonder if they’ve swapped a couple?

Fridafever · 03/03/2022 06:51

I don’t understand they seem random to me!

Interested in this thread?

I know what you mean, OP. They seem "selected" so as not to follow with the assumptions about most common letters, letter patterns in common words, etc.

I agree. There's nothing you can put your finger on, or probably really argue about, but it feels deliberately 'samey' and obtuse.

I don’t want to add any kind of spoiler. Yesterday and todays word feel connected.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean.
Bodoni · 03/03/2022 07:08

I agree, Footgoose - we were just saying that.

Juno22 · 03/03/2022 07:25

I can't remember what yesterday's word was! In fact I just had to go back and look at what today's was after seeing this. I'm not sure I understand what's being said here.

KindlyKanga · 03/03/2022 07:29

I don't get the connection either

What was yesterday''s word? I can't remember, but I also do quordle (my new favourite) , and parole - Italian wordle). I have not done today yet, I save it for the evening usually.
musicmadnessnumber57806 · 03/03/2022 07:34

I don't do wordle but I'm curious as I've seen a couple of threads already on this.

Assuming you don't want to spoil today's , can you tell us yesterday's?

KrisAkabusi · 03/03/2022 07:36

Don't see a connection between yesterday's and today's. I think if you do see a connection, you'll probably see a connection between ANY two words!

Wafflefudge · 03/03/2022 07:38

Can't remember yesterday's either what was it?

Chemenger · 03/03/2022 07:40

Yesterday was nasty, I think and the day before was rupee? Not sure I’m seeing a pattern.

DogDaysNeverEnd · 03/03/2022 07:41

Well they both have 5 letters Grin

Not sure if this is true because I'm on my phone but a colleague told me the word list is in the html code.... As in, it's not random there is a list of words being worked through. Fwiw I don't see a connection. I fell for the "ooh it might be topical" the other day and went for ruble over rupee.

Chemenger · 03/03/2022 07:44

@Brevill

They are Americans. What else would you expect
The words were picked for a year, as I understand it, by the inventor, who is Welsh, if I recall correctly. In my experience Americans are just like, you know, people. Why do you expect them to be different?
Lookingforphev · 03/03/2022 07:44

I can't see any connection between yesterday and today at all.

Juno22 · 03/03/2022 07:44

If that's yesterday's word then I don't see a connection between yesterday's and today's. Only if you are looking for one and that would be very tenuous.

AlexaShutUp · 03/03/2022 07:45

Gosh, I couldn't tell you what yesterday's word was now. I don't retain that information at all!!

Wafflefudge · 03/03/2022 07:46

No can't see a connection either then.

Silverstreaks · 03/03/2022 07:48

I'm with you Footgoose. I thought it yesterday after going through food option X2, a quick option and not so nice option.
I see the connection.

intheblightgarden · 03/03/2022 07:49

There's definitely a connection to the news, no doubt

You know the guy that invented it (and then sold it)is an AI researcher right?
