Shirlockc

wordle was tough for me today, had to use all 6

10:16 am

hokie carla

yeah, I've used 4 and can't come up with a guess

10:20 am

penquis

it's funny....i got it in two today....my first guess gave me three green letters....

10:21 am

penquis

hello all....

10:21 am

Shirlockc

it does depend on your first word

10:22 am

penquis

for sure....i usually use the same one every day...

10:22 am

Shirlockc

me too: HEART

10:22 am

penquis

RAISE here...

10:23 am

hokie carla

it finally came to me, so took me 5.

10:25 am

penquis

with my starter word, i figured i just had to identify the fourth letter....and that gave it to me....not many options really....

10:28 am

hokie carla

according to scoredle, I did well to get my other guesses at all. finally on the last one I had 3 options, 2 of which were words I don't know, so that's why it took me so long to see the answer.

10:29 am

penquis

i figured my only other option was a word we see here but it's not a common word....

10:30 am

hokie carla

like 591 guesses after my starting word. 97 after 2nd, and 46 after 3rd

10:30 am

penquis

i don't know anything about scoredle....

10:32 am

hokie carla

scoredle is a neat little tool that you enter the answer, then you enter each of your guesses and it tells you how many words you had to choose from

10:33 am

penquis

where do you get it or use it?

10:34 am

hokie carla

it's just scoredle.com

10:34 am

penquis

ok, thanks...

10:34 am

penquis

i need a break....bbl for the last 123....bye all....

hokie carla

11:17 am

player girl

I got them in the correct order. Odd they showed up differently for you

11:18 am

2:28 pm

cybernan

and if it does it must be the te 5 before it

2:54 pm

HarryHood

Not a lot of really weird words for such a large one

7:59 pm

ItalianGreyhound

Hi, Gillie only 5 8s in a grid like this?

7:59 pm

Gillie

Yes, and none of them really weird

8:01 pm

ItalianGreyhound

I know - trying to describe it - a generic word fest or something else too tired

8:01 pm

Gillie

type-fest described it pretty well

8:02 pm

ItalianGreyhound

8:02 pm

Gillie

Yes, I like being able to pound out lots of words without too much searching

8:04 pm

ItalianGreyhound
