Re: Wordle
I have just gone back on the NYT website for the first time in forever and seen their Connections game - it's much better than Wordle.

Re: Wordle
Shall I do a few of your highlights, DEB? My favourites are when you tick all the boxes of a rubbish 2nd guess that looks amazingly lucky but actually still leaves a load of words to pick from.

Re: Wordle
This one is bonkers. The only word that fits the second guess is valor??? The answer was carol.

Re: Wordle
No, it's from ages ago, game 826 as it says.
Second guess must be _a_o_. 1st letter can't be c, 3rd letter can't be r, 5th can't be l, and the word must contain 2 out of three of c,l,r. Give me a word that would have been a sensible 2nd guess that meets thise conditions. Fairly obvious you weren't just deleting the odd row, that's working backwards from knowing the answer.

Re: Wordle
Scores up to 250 were in the quite exceptionally good range. Scores from 250-300 are suspiciously good.ContrifibulatoryFred wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 7:26 amCan't remember to do this every day but I have just reached 300 games and my updated record isContrifibulatoryFred wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 7:30 am Played 250 - Results Summary to date

Re: Wordle
Yes
I have had a great run of threes
I never use the same opening word
Just switch it about each day trying to use a word with two vowels and three consonents
