That county one kicked my ass too. I’m a dumb American, to be sure.

I've been playing Globle, where you guess a country based on location (there's more to it)--it's not easy! And I just started Worldle last week, where you identify by shape. It would be easier if they gave a sense of scale. But it's interesting.
Today was my worst struggle to date. Mostly because I was doing it in the middle ofa meeting and thought I'd already entered the actual word on try #4. I was very confused until I typed it in again on #6 and finally got it. Either way, more exciting than my meeting
Congrats! It was a tricky one. I was pleased to get it in three, thanks to lucky choices on the first two words--it was the only word I could think of that fit.
Is anyone keeping track of their average score? My wife says I'm competitive about weird things. I've played 50 games, no losses, averaging 3.9 guesses per game. I don't think that's particularly good--too many mistakes.
6/6 today and it made me angry! One of my entries was a string of letters I did not think was a word, but apparently it’s Scottish. And the actual word is NOT, in my mind, the most common spelling of that word. Grrrr.

How else do you spell it? I often see it with the plural ending, but that's the only way I know how to spell the singular.
one thing that annoys me about its analysis is that is always pointed in the rearview...it reveals some good strategies about how to predict & isolate the words, but the very critical 2nd word guess ends up being basically a guess...there isn't a strategy to it until after you see how it plays out per the specific day's answer
Pete do you post from an iPhone? The only way I can post is to share it to Notes, screenshot it, save to photos and crop it. Then I can post it here. There’s probably an easier way.

Tduds I’ve had bad luck for the last week, Wordle and otherwise, so I was happy to get it in two today—even if it was a relatively easy word.
Got it on the fourth try. It kind of comes down to what your first guess that the more letters you get, the easier it is to figure it out in less tries.
bet ya case of Duff you dont! I actually alternate between 3 starting words. No reason, but in my mind, I'm trying to trick the AI hamster running this racket.
This is all alluring and mysterious to me. I love words, and I love games, but I haven't even tried this. That so many of my colleagues on here are captivated by it makes me even more curious. But I've noticed that my distractibility has only gotten worse over the years, and I want to avoid any new, compelling targets for it.

Part of the appeal is that you only get one game a day, and everyone gets the same game, so you can only waste so much time on it. But it's still addictive. I like playing over my first cup of coffee to help wake my brain up. I also play Worldle and Globle, two geography games which are actually helping me learn world geography--even the tricky places like the Baltic states.
Since I found the particular Chess game app for my Android smart phone, I'll give it a whirl. I haven't played chess in a while so it would take time to get somewhere with it.

Anyway, I have that ARE PcM exam division coming up so there will be fewer posts from me other than a little time spent with Wordle.
Today's puzzle was interesting. Apparently the Times changed the word last week but if you didn't refresh your browser, you got the old word. So my wife and I had different words this morning.
this is my frustration with this game -- the list of solutions isn't just a list of available 5-letter words
so, part of gaming strategy apparently is to know the solutions list & logically isolate by turn to whichever solution word it is...and the game accepts non-solution list words as acceptable words.
Today's was a "rock you like a hurricane" moment, eh. Subtle clue and it's not the band name but is a word that can describe the song's genre. That and N.S.'s clue should give anyone a clue.

Today’s was a bastard.
Totally screwed the Russian on today's.
i'm stuck. i can't even think of a word using the letters left after 5 0/5 guesses.
Today, a damn bear.

6/6 for me.
mmm symmetry.
5/6 for me
I got it in 4, barely
4 today. I'm currently watching my wife struggle with it - she's on her 4th word without a single letter so far and it's driving her a bit nutty :-)
I hit every vowel on the first three guesses, my fourth was the only thing that I could come up with.
3/6 today, woot
4/6, today was tough
3/6 here. 8-P

The answer was a word originally in my native tongue, but it still took me to 5/6 to get it...

Got it in 3. Pretty proud of myself.

Im stuck...i have the 3 middle letters and cant figure out the two end letters
I'm in a Wordle group on Facebook and it was funny to see the complaints about this word--"but it's not englishhhhhhh..."
2/6 for today. Take that!
Congrats! It was a tricky one. I was pleased to get it in three, thanks to lucky choices on the first two words--it was the only word I could think of that fit.
4/6 today. My first guess was all blank.
Man, today's was nasty.
Yes it was.
Also got it in two today. To make up for 6 yesterday.
4/6 even though it was an easy word
It seems that multiple vowel words are the most problematic?

6/6 today and it made me angry! One of my entries was a string of letters I did not think was a word, but apparently it’s Scottish. And the actual word is NOT, in my mind, the most common spelling of that word. Grrrr.
How else do you spell it? I often see it with the plural ending, but that's the only way I know how to spell the singular.
The plural ending is how I’ve seen it written most often, I guess.
I hate it LOL. Today was ROUGH!!! The word wasn’t rough, the game was rough.
It was a tricky one for sure, especially since there is another word with similar spelling and meaning. But that's what makes it fun, right? (right?)
Strong start, anyway.
I got todays in 2. Jealous? I bet you are.
Nobody is buying your story.
Non, I thought I was going get it in two as well. Or three. Yes I’m jealous but I’ll get over it
5 tries out of 6 but of course b3ta gave it away. I guess that's okay for not having played this game.
PS: I didn't take what words b3ta used above but noticed it after having solved the wordle 'puzzle'
i try to beat wordle bot with varying success

ultimately a bit of a guessing heavy game
3rd try was a charm but it's not the word 'charm'.
The fifth time in 105 games that I’ve won on the second guess. Currently averaging 3.875 guesses per game, not counting the one game I lost.
Wordle 319 2/6
Gg, wood guy. Wordle 319 2/6
Pleh. Preview shows it works, then the response strips it bare.
I missed getting it in 2 by one letter. 2nd day in a row I've had a 50/50 guess between two words and guessed the wrong one.
Got it on the 3rd though.
Pete do you post from an iPhone? The only way I can post is to share it to Notes, screenshot it, save to photos and crop it. Then I can post it here. There’s probably an easier way.

I ditched apple a while back. But the issue is common to other phones as well it seems.

I know what word you start with all the time now.

Wow, congrats! I got my second loss in 106 games.
You're such a hoser, Non.
Doh!
A loss. Anyway, shit happens.
I even tried lover, power, and even boner when I got o, e, and r as valid letters and location in the word.
boobs works too
My husband is a hotrod guy and suggested ”coupe” as a starter word. It’s good.
Dork alert.

Thanks, WG. I just tried Globle and got Montenegro in 5 tries!
For today, figured it out on fourth try.

(not sure why i'm just realizing this)
i think i'm done playing
today's solved on 4th try (5-13-2022). Try to solve before looking here for any answer.
Ideally, it is best to play the game without help but some days, you might just need it but here is a tool that might help:

- If you haven't figured out the five-letter word then you are hopeless.
sweet Pearl jam reference today.
I totally forgot about that album. I used to be a huge PJ fan so I'm kind of embarrassed. But I'll get over it.
