For some reason the last one seems to have been deleted for breaching talk guidelines! 🤷🏻‍♀️

2:41 - I deleted a couple of answers that turned out to be correct. Oh well.

2 minutes for me today. There were a few possibilities for the PW. If a letter occurs multiple times, I'm never sure how many to use.

DadDadDad · 04/03/2023 08:52

1:40.

DadDadDad · 04/03/2023 09:00

@Stokey - I don't think there is any other possibility for the PW (according to this tool which uses the Wordle wordlist: scoredle.com/ )

In 9A, the yellow letter is in addition to the green letters, so the word must contain two of that letter, and there is only one place the second one can be given what 6A tells us. If the first letter of 9A wasn't yellow we would make a different deduction.

Struggled on the grid. 4d was a new word to me completely.
Hadn't clocked the double letter on pw.

Stokey · 04/03/2023 10:03

Thanks for the explanation @DadDadDad. I was using past participle, hence the other possibilities. I know Wordle never uses them but wasn't sure about the derivatives.

00:59 for me today.

I feel like we've had this puzzle before. Perhaps with different clues?

DadDadDad · 04/03/2023 14:50

@Stokey - words with past participles are in the full Wordle list (words that are permitted as guesses, even if not used as the target word), but still none of them would work as a PW fitting the clues given. TUNED, TYPED, MUTED, TUBED are on the Wordle list but are ruled out by 9A.

Took an embarrassingly long time over the PW for similar reasons to @Stokey

Well done @MarmiteWine 👏

Also missed double letter in PW for a bit. Wish I’d glanced at this thread first 🤦‍♀️

hoochycrone · 04/03/2023 16:57

Eventually!

hoochycrone · 04/03/2023 16:59

Ooo! @DadDadDad there's a list? Do you have a link?

hoochycrone · 04/03/2023 17:00

Duh! Just saw your link 🙄

DadDadDad · 04/03/2023 17:15

@hoochycrone - just to be clear, I believe the list of words that Wordle will accept as guesses is available (in the sense that programmers have pulled it out of the code, and I think it's something you can find if you google). Scoredle uses that list, so it provides a way of checking all the possible words in the Wordle list that fit the Plusword grid - although Plusword will sometimes use two word solutions in the grid and proper nouns that aren't in Wordle, so there are limitations.

So Scoredle can provide examples of other words that might fit the PW. I've spotted two occasions where I think there is a valid alternative. I've attached those with the accepted PW - I'll leave it to you to work out the alternatives.
