Can you get more than one word a day?

 

Wonder if everyone gets the same word?


@Lucky Charm 

I looked this up the other day.  There is one word a day and everyone gets the same word. (level playing field, ha ha)

My friends and I are also hooked.  We each play daily when we can, and then "share" straight from the website to a group text.  When you share like this it DOES NOT show the words that you used to arrive at your answer, only the green, yellow, grey squares.

 

I am visual so I actually work it out with paper and pencil. Also for your first couple of words keep in mind the Wheel of Fortune R S T L N E.

 

Josh Wardle has not trademarked this name or any part of this game, and this week another game developer put a "look alike" called Wordle-The App on both Apple and Android and then boasted about how much money he would make on Twitter.  There was SOO much backlash that both stores shut him down!!

@BeeChee 

I never was a Wheel of Fortune fan, so I have to ask what is the R S T L N E? Just curious, since I'm doing fine without it.  Wordle is fun!

@shoesnbags  Those are the letters the contestants usually guessed first because they are so common.

Re: "Wordle" - A Daily Word Game

First shot at it yesterday and I got it on my last chance.  Today---got it on line 4.

 

But, I guess it doesn't really matter how many times it takes---as long as I get it.

Re: "Wordle" - A Daily Word Game

Sorry so late, but this is why:

 

 

On the whole, most of the 5 full-time vowels (sorry, “sometimes Y”)  appear more frequently in English than most consonants, with a few exceptions. Anyone who’s spent the evening watching Wheel of Fortune can tell you the most common consonants—at least, the ones Pat Sajak gives you for free during the final puzzle—are R, S, T L, and N (tellingly, he also throws in the letter E). Oxford’s analysis confirms that Pat is on the money. The top ten most common letters in the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, and the percentage of words they appear in, are:

1. E – 11.1607%

2. A – 8.4966%

3. R – 7.5809%

4. I – 7.5448%

5. O – 7.1635%

6. T – 6.9509%

7. N – 6.6544%

8. S – 5.7351%

9. L – 5.4893%

10. C – 4.5388%
