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

My son and d-i-law introduced me to Wordle - knew about it before but couldn't figure out how to do it - so..... 5 first go and 5 today.
Quite addictive I think! grin

Ditto for me tanith 5 goes. Every letter I chose in the first word I tried was wrong.

I’m weirdly reassured that you and tanith both got it in 5 too, Tilly!
It has lessened the shame. smile

? no shame FannyC, just fun ?

FannyCornforth Sun 23-Jan-22 09:47:41

grin it didn’t feel like fun at the time; staring desperately at the few remaining letters!

In 4...

Trisha57 Sun 23-Jan-22 09:59:35

5 for me too. I'll join the gallery of shame!!

But surely a lot is down to luck. I prefer Countdown.

4 for me.
Sooo close at 2 but wasted the third attempt, sadly.

Greyduster Sun 23-Jan-22 10:11:44

Four for me. Happy with that (it doesn’t take a lot to make me happy at the moment!).

It is nadadeturbe
The balance of luck and skill are a key to its success I think.
It reminds me of playing cards, you have to do the best with ‘your hand’.

Five today, it did say 'great' but not really
Nowhere near until No 4

nadateturbe Sun 23-Jan-22 10:19:19

I just did one and got it in 3. But there can be more than one answer. So it can be a lucky guess.

Callistemon21 Sun 23-Jan-22 10:22:42

Are you doing the daily Wordle, nadateturbe?

tanith Sun 23-Jan-22 10:25:32

I’m not sure how there can be more than one answer? nadateturbe?

Callistemon21 Sun 23-Jan-22 10:26:45

Not with the daily Wordle.

mamaa Sun 23-Jan-22 10:29:30

Got it in 3 today- better than the yesterday which was a dreadfulwink performance!

Bellanonna Sun 23-Jan-22 10:31:18

Got it in 4 today.

Sunlover Sun 23-Jan-22 10:56:01

5 for me too.

Just did it today.
Richard Osman gave an example where the word ended in -rick. There is more than one answer to this.

FannyCornforth Sun 23-Jan-22 11:11:44

That can’t be it nadadeturbe
Follow the link that lemsip provided in the OP
There’s one correct word a day

rafichagran Sun 23-Jan-22 11:17:53

5 for me too.

Callistemon21 Sun 23-Jan-22 11:25:04

He could have given an example of what he thinks it could be but it's not the one correct answer because it doesn't contain all the correct letters.

muse Sun 23-Jan-22 11:25:14

Good opening word with two correct letters in the right places!
Had two words in mind but made a wrong choice. ?

3 today. Very pleased.

Delila Sun 23-Jan-22 11:40:55

First-time four for me too, loved it. It reminds me of the board game “Master Mind”, 2 players with coloured pegs on a plastic board, also a game of elimination.

JackyB Sun 23-Jan-22 11:42:38

I got it with the second try today. Pure luck! Well, and it was very close to one of my 'magic' words.
