Think you know the alphabet?
Give this game a go…

As an aside - do you think it’s better to have a fewer number of guesses, or do you prefer to be fastest fingers?

alphaguess: a word game

Guess the word of the day. Guesses reveal where the word is positioned alphabetically. Everyone plays the same word each day.

I'd love to know what word people guess first

@Heidi2018 I adopt a binary chop approach - select a word somewhere in the middle of the alphabet (I use middle!) then the next word is sort of midway between A and M or M and Z depending on the result of the first word. Rinse and repeat...

I also use middle as my starting word 😃

I do to, but with 'mat' to start for speed of typing 😆

Followed by other 3 letter quick to type words

I do the same but use as short as words as possible so I start with ‘me’.

Glitch in the matrix!

Although I completed it this morning (and posted here), I clicked back on the website just now and it had undone my last guess! So I put today's answer in again and it's given me this, my slowest time yet 🤣🤣🤣

My first word is always mop. Then I go half way depending on the before/after direction, but the second letter of my word is always "o", hence me getting yesterday's answer of "rope" in 4 guesses. It will never happen again 😂
