And so the madness continues! Here's our 9th thread to discuss, boast and rant about the game that is more pointless than Pointless, needs Masterminds to solve and will make Eggheads of us all, what with the amount of hair-pulling it induces!

If you have no clue what I'm on about, our last thread is here, and the game itself can be found here.

To any newbies, welcome to the dark side, and to those who have played before, thanks for keeping me company I'm this!

Your top two are good, just think of a more general sort of term.

Peckhampalace · 14/04/2022 09:49

This is day 6 of trying this game and aside from chatting with DH didn't have any help (first time without reading help here or thesaurus).
First word in top 1000 was guess 32

Solved #75 in 38 guesses.
First guess similarity of 9.68
Penultimate guess was 999 (annoyingly DH suggestion was 1000 but I didn't use it!)

First time ever got a mid green on my first, and mostly continued upwards.

Wallawallakoala · 14/04/2022 10:03

I spoilt it for myself by looking at the thread when I had no greens so i fit it a bit quicker than I would like!

Well done to those who got it quickly today, I really don't know how you do it in less than 20!

AliasGrape · 14/04/2022 10:36

Straightforward today - like it when I don’t need hints or thesaurus, which I’ve managed a few days in a row. I’m sure that means tomorrow’s will be a bugger now 😆

Took ages to get a green then it was fairly straightforward. No thesaurus needed for a change.

Ok. I need a clue as I have to get on with the laundry!!!!
I have 647, 936, 938, 956, 964, 981 and 995. I also have a very unhelpful teenager who just laughs and says he would only use the word 647.

SouperNoodle · 14/04/2022 11:01

Thank you @MrsElm and @ErrolTheDragon for the clues but it seems I have no brain today so I still haven't got it 😅🙈
