Once a day is enough for my wife but I'd like to do it more often. Feeling frustrated, AIBU to look elsewhere?

We usually go to bed about midnight and do it then. Normally it takes me 10-15 minutes but sometimes it takes a bit longer for my wife to finish.

Then I have to wait almost a full day before I can get my needs met again!

It's starting to get me down :(

YABU - Learn to show some restraint, once a day is fine.
YANBU - We all have different needs. You're perfectly entitled to go elsewhere to get your Wordle needs met!

I’ve just discovered Duotrigordle and absolutely love it - 32 words 🤤

BIWI · 26/08/2022 17:36

DH and I do it all through the day, but on our own. I generally finish faster than he does.

KatnissNeverdone · 26/08/2022 17:38

DH helps sometimes but I prefer to do it on my own.

Waiting for the deletion message!!!

Why do you think it will be deleted?

DH and I have let things slide of late, but we must get back in to it. It's nice when we text little teasers throughout the day if one of us is finding it a bit erm, hard.

Semantle is my favourite.

I was very close to spectacularly missing the joke here - see some other posters haven't twigged yet!

Some people don’t read the whole post before diving in.
I thought it was a “Wind up” post and then saw punchline. :)

I don't have a partner, so I have a couple of friends I do it with occasionally. Once did it with a colleague in the middle of the foyer. We invited another colleague to join us, but he made his excuses.

Haven't seen Hurdle before, pretty good, much tougher than Wordle.
Started to flag a little halfway through but got my rythm back and finally delivered the goods!

Take your time and focus.

I wonder if you could find like minded people online to join in? There are probably specialist websites.

Nah leave it, your outrage is hilarious.

My husband and I think variety is where it's at.

Every day:
Wordle
Quordle
Squareword
Heardle
Framed

knittingaddict · 26/08/2022 18:27

We used to do it together, but both prefer going solo now.

Not everyone is open minded to new experiences.
