I used L,K,N, and V. All were valid words.

Yes I used R, K, L, and P, all were also valid words. V was going to be next. But too many words, not enough guesses left. 5 words by changing just one letter, and you only get 6 guesses. So at that point it becomes just luck if you pick the correct one. I went for more common words at first, when that didn't work I tried a little known word, or at least one that isn't used every day, but missed it. Oh well. I just like it to test my vocabulary and problem solving, rather than be a guessing game based on luck.

I have a link to Wordle archives that is stil working. So I've been playing the archived puzzles. On one puzzle I was down to my 6th attempt and I had to choose between FOCAL or LOCAL. I had a 50/50 chance to win or lose. I lost, lol.

Wow, lol! Todays I thought might be tough for a lot of people, not a word used everyday by most people. Was that the original wordle and from today? It doesn't say.

In under a minute for me today! Lucky 1st guess. Yesterday's took several tries over the day.

My Wordle archive site was "requested", ahem, by the New York Times to shut down. Immediately.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. So we are back to playing only one puzzle per day and if you miss the chance to play that day, you are SOL.

I hope NYT wises up and offers old games for free.

So do i, but I understand the NYT's desire to make a profit off of the game.

She beat me, I am at 95% and my longest streak is 37 words in row. Of coarse that doesn't count when I was playing the archive.

Has anyone done todays Wordle? I admit I am struggling with it today. I don't want the answer, I could cheat and google that but I don't see the point in playing if I was going to do that, lol. Can you just tell me if it is a fairy common and well known word or something more obscure?

[PlainJane]

Somehow I got it on the second try. Using noise as my starting word helped lol.

[Sue_CT]

I got it, lol! That was an amazing result for this word in 2 guesses!

[pondgardener]

@PlainJane Good job! I used audio as a starting word and it took 4 tries...

[PlainJane]

Lol, today’s Wordle is fun.

I bombed out on my first attempt. I couldn't believe my luck on the second attempt. It isn't a very commonly used word. This will probably never happen to me again, LOL
