I play alphaguess every day with my daughter and my father. We do Alpha guess, Blossom, Globle, Waffle, Word Gridle, and Cemantle. What is your approach?

I always start with a specific word that is roughly in middle of the alphabet. Then, if it says the word comes after it, I chose a word that is roughly half way between the middle and Z, and if before, I choose a word half way between that and A. Then I repeat

So essentially, I go L, R or F, U or C.

Then I narrow it down further using common words until I get the first two letters, etc.

Normally, it means I'm done in 45s - 1½ minutes.

Ouch, that was painful. Had the root word then didn't bother with any other endings and went off looking for other words 😩

InMySpareTime · 13/03/2025 07:24

@Lougle similar, except I use short words to speed up the narrowing down (and minimise scope for fat finger retyping)
M,
Then D or T,
Then B, F, P or W
Then narrow down further with short words such as TAB or BY to get the second letter narrowed down.

Lougle · 13/03/2025 07:39

Oh yes! I always try and use words with second letter y or a to narrow down.
