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

4 for me today. Thought it was really difficult and couldn’t think of any word with my combination of letters then Suddenly it came to me. Pleased either 4 today

lemsip thanks so much for posting the link. I was trying to find out how I could play this. Really enjoying the brain workout in the morning.

Very tricky today but after a lot of thought (and I mean a lot) got in 4. It's my latest addiction.

3 today.

ha ha just tried it, it's great! we used to play a game like this on paper.

It took 5 today, I think I might change the word I have been starting with tomorrow and see how I get on with a new one.

Stuck! I don't want to use the last row yet. I might have an inspiration after I've had a brew.

Bit nail-biting as my options were running out!

It took a bit of time but got it in four. I went on "unlimited" yesterday and found I got most in three or four (three has a bit of luck chucked in) but I still can't see how anyone can get it in two unless it is complete luck. If any of you consistently 2x and 3x people are willing to share your start words and strategy (the next day obviously) I'd love to learn from your superior brains, but I just can't see it.

I've usual posted by now but now struggling. Glad I'm not alone. My first word has given me two letters in the right place. Will try again later.

Well done oldnproud and maggiemaybe for getting it in 3.

Maggiemaybe Mon 24-Jan-22 11:37:49

I’ve 8x4s and 7x3s so far, with 2x5s and just the one solitary 2, foxie, so not consistent at 2 and 3 by any means, and definitely not of superior brain. grin But if it helps, my 2 was by sheer good luck. I can’t remember what word it was, but I got four of the letters right in line 1. No skill involved!

Thank you, muse, I thought it was hard today. I had two options for the last two letters on line 3 and went for the right one. Luck again!

foxie48 Mon 24-Jan-22 11:48:34

Tina49 I got it first time on one occasion, obviously a complete fluke and actually not as satisfying as working the answer out. I've never got it in two as I think that would again be complete luck!

3 today, the thinking cap firmly fixed on my head! Like foxie48 I once got it in one. Oooh, I’m giddy at the memory of it!

Five today

Duh!!

FannyCornforth Mon 24-Jan-22 12:02:59

Well done Nannagarra, Maggiemaybe and Oldnproud! ???

Patsy70 Mon 24-Jan-22 12:19:23

3 for me today.

mokryna Mon 24-Jan-22 13:21:03

I am probably teaching grandmothers to suck eggs.
For the first line use a word that contains these most used letters e, t, a, i, o, n, s, h, and r.
However that being said, it is more difficult today.

Bellanonna Mon 24-Jan-22 13:40:22

Phew. Took me 6 attempts. Then it suddenly hit me! I must improve my score. I’ve been trying the “unlimited” version but it’s really addictive. Time I emptied the dishwasher!

mamaa Mon 24-Jan-22 13:48:32

4 today

BlueBelle Mon 24-Jan-22 13:49:11

I do the unlimited one too

Allegretto Mon 24-Jan-22 14:02:47

I got it in 6 today. Thought I was not going to be lucky but got there by the skin of my teeth. I’m a bit addicted to Wordle Unlimited. We could be doing worse things!

Mollygo Mon 24-Jan-22 14:33:21

It’s when you’ve got the last 3 letters and you don’t want to risk the wrong ones at the start that I find hard.

tanith Mon 24-Jan-22 15:29:57

5 today whew!

Patsy70 Mon 24-Jan-22 16:12:41

My OH is still struggling with today’s! ?. Yes, Wordle Unlimited is addictive, but as you say Allegretto we could be doing worse things, and it’s keeping the brain active.?
