Wordle Guess

QVCkitty1 — Sun, 13 Mar 2022 15:28:59 GMT

I love Wordle and play every day. Today I picked a random word from my desk calendar, and it was the word. That was my first and probably only time to get it on first try. Just lucky !

Lol. Good for you. Best I have ever done is 2. Mostly takes 3 or 4 for me. I'm always so pleased when I only have 2 letters in the wrong spot and somehow guess the correct word.

Wow, that's awesome! I've gotten it on my 2nd try a couple of times. I play the unlimited version and love it.

Once I guessed a puzzle on Wheel of Fortune as soon as they lit the boxes up. It was: A penny for your thoughts.

@Zaimee , I know, right ? I usually get it in 4 or five, a few times 2 or 3. It will probably never happen again.

I can't even figure out how to play it. That and Sodoku.

I've seen this game mentioned and some Facebook friends post about it but I do t have a clue what the rules are or how to play it.

@JeanLouiseFinch - once a day, go to google and search Wordle. The very first result will be from the New York Times. Click to open.

The premise is you have 6 chances to guess the word of the day. So, for your first guess, just pick a random 5 letter word. I am no expert but pick something with common letters and a few vowels. Then hit enter.

if you guessed a letter (or letters) correctly and the letter(s) is green, you not only guessed the right letter, but it's in the correct place.

If any of the letters are correct but in the wrong place, they will be yellow.

If you don't get any of them right, they will be gray.

So, keeping in mind how you did in the first row, your first guess, try to guess again.....and again....and hopefully get the correct word during the 6 tries.

@JeanLouiseFinch , You get 6 tries to figure out the word of the day. You enter a 5 letter word and if the letter is correct and in the correct spot it will be green. If the letter is correct but in the wrong spot it will be yellow, if the letter is not in the word it will be gray. Think of it like wheel of fortune.

@catter70 I do not understand Sodoku at all. Math is not my forte ~~unless I have a calculator~~.

@Mz iMac , I have to laugh----I cannot do math even with a calculator. mr henny the mathematician and engineer says I don't think in a linear manner, whatever that means.

You don't need to know anything about math to do Sudoku. You're just putting 1-9 in the squares; you're not doing any calculations.

@Mz iMac @Wordl requires the process of elimination and knowledge of common words and their spellings. You are good at analyzing and drawing conclusions and you definitely have the word knowledge. If you don't have a specific learning disability that will not allow you to see words with your mind when letters are missing (some people have this problem), then you can do WORDL.

@catter70 and @JeanLouiseFinch

I used to try to get as many vowels as possible into my first guess, but it's easier to guess the word with consonants.

I start with stern fairly often. 🤷‍♀️

I love Wordl. I try to do it every morning when I'm on my first cup of coffee. I only guessed it on the second line once. Have had several for each of the other lines and there have been 2 times I've lost after 6 tries. It's fun.

Sudoku is another story. Logic and patterns. Not always easy for me. Last winter I made myself do the Sudoku every day. I disctinctly remember the first time I solved the highest difficulty level. I was ecstatic! You'd think I won the lottery for a million!

There are some things that come easy with Sudoku and some stuff I pretty much had to get experience to realize. I don't know how to explain it any other way. But if you start out with the easier ones you'll feel more and more confident over time and eventually you'll solve the harder ones, too. If I can complete the level 5s, anyone can!

Think of 5 letter words with consonant blends and as many vowels you can. Don't forget the letter Y is s vowel.

If you love Wordle you may also enjoy Quordle. It's four Wordles going at once. You get nine tries and each letter (word) you select applies to all four puzzles. They play off each other. I play it every day after Wordle.

VanSleepy — Wed, 30 Mar 2022 19:28:47 GMT

@faeriemoon The first time I tried Quordle it was a bit overwhelming and I didn't even try to finish it. But I gave it another chance and now I also do it right after Wordle every day 😊
