You guys playing wordle?

[Mustonen]

I didn’t know there was a hard mode and an easy mode. I’ve generally been playing it hard, if that counts, but recently I’ve dabbled with ignoring any hits for my second word. AEROS and TUNIC, or similar. Seems to get me there in approx the same guesses, but helps eliminate the PROSE WHOSE MOOSE GOOSE LOOSE NOOSE nonsense (though notably not really with the examples provided).

Now that I know there’s a hard way and an easy way I’m all hard way from here on out.

[Core Shot]

I don’t see the point in ignoring hits.

Also. Reusing a dead letter? Yeah. I guess it works. If it were a timed contest it might make sense. But I enjoy looking at the leftovers and the hits and finding the answer. Mostly I get it in three. But I may take a few minutes racking my brain. To me that’s the fun.

It's a good inversion of wordle. I found it surprisingly difficult and failed more than I've won.

[Mustonen]

I don’t see the point in ignoring hits.

If you get three out of five on the first guess (which happens often with my start word) you’re limited to 10 more letters to sort out the answer to use a total of 15 different letters. If you use ten different letters up front and still only get three hits (obviously less likely), you have 8 letters left for a total of 18 different letters.



It would all flow even more nicely into a probability chart, too, at least insofar as identifying hits.

I was one day away from changing my opening word, it wasn't working well, and then today I got it in two so I guess I'm staying with it for a while

That's why it's not Hard mode.

Yeah. Didn’t know that was a thing. Without being defined (or just by being ignorant), that’s like tying your shoelaces together to play basketball. I get it. Hard mode for me, man, here on out.

[ötzi]

Yeah I thought I was just a masochist until a couple days ago.

That’s a fun one.

Heh.
Finally got in three.
Son got it on four.
Not easy today. Haven’t played in a while but we’re on family vacation.
It’s a simple challenge

"Tryst" the other day was interesting. I got it in 3 because I had done ATONE and got the T, then TULIP and still got only had the T, but in the right place and I had already used AEIOU. So I knew there were no vowels and it started with T. It just took some staring time from there.

[Core Shot]

The thing I like about Wordle is line three.

You used vowels. And common consonants

What’s left. Wrack your brain.
It’s good fun.

Four should be easy. But sometimes it takes me a few minutes. Study the leftovers and the known.

What do you mean, UTARD is not a word???

[Mustonen]

^^^ Made me go check to see if TBARS was really a word.

That first guess was TEARS. You can tell from the keyboard selections.

I figured that out. TBARS wasn’t a word.

Utard on a tbar is pretty cryptic I guess.

Short for Tranny Bar. Rumor is that Donny Osmond likes to hang out in them and sing Go Away Little Girl.

But…

That’s only a rumor

[This End Up]

Yeah, one of my initial guess words was the actual word. Don’t worry this was from last week.

[bodywhomper]

PENIS worked well for me as starting word earlier this week.

Starting words are key
