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

I failed today for the first time - I had the last four letters sorted by my fourth attempt but ran out of goes before getting the correct first letter!

tanith could it be that Wordle recognises American spellings of words, rather than English?

Flook, no floor. Dammit!
It’s a good job that you don’t get that sort of auto change business on Wordle hmm

3 today seem to be lucky with my first word guess.

But twice now I’ve put in a word spelled correctly but when I enter it it flashes up not in the word list, what does that mean? Anyone explain?

I’ve asked for my post to be removed, Fanny. I only put it up as you’d said ‘amazed’ as if you didn’t believe me! I didn’t sleep well last night, so wasn’t thinking straight.

Oh Martha! smile Don’t worry, I was referring that I was ‘amazed’ that I’d got it in three!
I got zero letters in my first go, and only one in my second, so to get it in three was a complete floor!
And when I said about the ‘green letters’ I was trying to be light hearted.
I’m sorry if I upset you flowers

3 today smile

I got it in 4 today.
Well done to the ‘Wordlers’ who got it in less ?

BlueSapphire Sat 22-Jan-22 07:43:07

Got it in 2!

Impressive! I failed to solve it today by one letter. ☹️

3 for me, lucky guesses this morning.

BlueBelle Sat 22-Jan-22 06:37:01

Saturday got it in 3 ?
Before I clicked on here

Martha that’s not on, please everyone stop posting photos we don’t need proof, it’s only a bit of fun not a court appearance

4 today.

Someone needs to keep an eye on things Fanny. It's not really necessary to post a photo especially if it risks being a spoiler. A photo of the share page would be better.

FannyCornforth Sat 22-Jan-22 03:59:09

I can see your green letters Martha ?‍♀️

I really am feeling like the Thread Inspector now? …

3 smile
Amazed to be honest

Martha48 Sat 22-Jan-22 01:20:03

In 3! Yay!

Maggiemaybe Sat 22-Jan-22 00:18:05

Yes, it took me 5 as well. I think I do better after a night’s sleep rather than before. smile

Saturday 22nd January
Got it in five today. Good luck.

Kali2 Fri 21-Jan-22 17:27:24

OK, OK got the message. It did make me laugh though.

TillyTrotter Fri 21-Jan-22 17:20:02

We all select our first word by a variety of methods.
It doesn’t matter does it?
Although it is under “Chat” it is a game and the only person I’m playing against is myself, for fun as I love puzzles and games.
But Fanny and I are of the same mind - No Spoilers please ?

Mollygo Fri 21-Jan-22 17:10:37

Jaxjacky, if you mean folk saying they try to use lots of vowels, or always start with the same word, or a word in an unspecified book they were reading, they already do and that’s fine. Anything resembling a hint would be just as bad a posting a spoiler in my view.

Jaxjacky Fri 21-Jan-22 17:03:02

As it’s under Chat I’m interested in how others start off rather than just reporting, if they want to, although I agree with no spoilers until the day is over, of course.

Soroptimum Fri 21-Jan-22 16:27:41

5 today, really stuck for a while.

FannyCornforth Fri 21-Jan-22 16:02:53

?Sorry Kali2. ROBOT was yesterday's (Thursday's) word I think. So not a spoiler for today's.

So what was the point?

Someone did post yesterday’s answer and it was deleted.

Perhaps we could just post our score and how we feel about it?
I’ve no interest in others starting words etc
