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

Wordle was discussed very early this morning on radio 4 world service, Health Check. They said how good it was for stimulating our brains and think that we will get better with practice.

I’ve looked at Absurdle and studied the rules but I can’t get my head around it all

mokryna re Radio 4
I think that people who aren’t very good at Wordle to start with, will definitely improve with time, but I don’t think if you are ‘naturally’ good with words and their patterns to start with, that you can get better.
I think that 3s and 2s and the occasional dip with a 4 is the best that it can get.
It’s a skill, yes, but there is a great degree of chance and sheer luck too.

Did it in three but was lucky with first guess. You are right about luck playing a part, FannyCornforth.

Tried it for the first time today after reading about it here. Took me 4 in 16 minutes. It seems to be the same game as the tv programme Lingo I saw recently on ITV.
