six tries at getting the word right..... just one word a day...if the letter turns grey it is not in the word..... etc.

Best yet!!… usually I am blinking hopeless at it ?

Patsy70 Mon 17-Jan-22 17:07:00

I’m hooked! ?

I got it in three tries today. I always start with the same word, and was surprised to see all but one right in the first try.

shinamae, I like your first word....

I got it in 3 today I've only been playing 3 days but I love it already, I wish there was more than one puzzle a day though

Got it in 5. Good luck.
A suggestion, don’t spoil it for others by giving the answer until late evening.

My best day-got it in one only because I’d just done something that used the word.
All downhill from now.

Congratulations Mollygo

Agree mokryna. ?

Thought I was nearly there after 2nd go but it took me 5. ?

That’s spoilt my statistics?

Well done mollygo

Goodness another 'phew' for me at six. Found that one tricky indeed. Still have 100% but skin & teeth spring to mind! Rather enjoying the challenge though.

OMG! ?
That’s phenomenal Molly! Well done!

Tbh I can understand now why it’s only one word a day.
Mr Wordle was very smart to do that.
I’m already a bit ‘meh’ about it, and I can imagine if you played it word after word it would get very samey.

Mr Wardle, damn autocarrot

Have folk been doing that?
That’s not on at all.
I don’t even like it when people discuss tactics, starting words etc

3 again

Monday =5

6 today - I found it difficult today.

Oldwoman70 Tue 18-Jan-22 07:25:38

3 again today - seems to be my level!

Maggiemaybe Tue 18-Jan-22 08:12:46

3 today.

I never look at this thread till I’ve done it, as I’d hate to see a spoiler.

Patsy70 Tue 18-Jan-22 08:15:20

I do the wordleunlimited.com, as suggested. ?

notgran Tue 18-Jan-22 08:24:57

I still haven't got it, usually manage 3 or 4. This is my worst yet.

Doodle Tue 18-Jan-22 11:25:08

4 for me.

ixion Tue 18-Jan-22 11:32:50

5, but that was struggle for me today☹️

muse Tue 18-Jan-22 12:15:46

3 today.

I do it as it goes live as I'm always late to bed Maggiemaybe but I like to look back on the day to see how others have done. Someone posted a snapshot of their screen the other day with the answer, as the poster had done it in 2.

Would it be good to see a 1 or 2 attempt posted the following day? Might be useful for anyone who couldn't get it, just to know what the dam word was ?.

I nearly got like that today. I had three word choices after my 2nd attempt, then kept choosing the wrong word. I might post my screenshot of today's tries, tomorrow.

Callistemon21 Tue 18-Jan-22 12:44:12

Five today!
But that was before I had a second cup of tea

Shrub Tue 18-Jan-22 12:52:10

I have to resort to a dictionary and online sites for hints. Tell me I’m not the only one….?

Callistemon21 Tue 18-Jan-22 13:05:12

Today's wasn't easy! ?
