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

2 today, but was good luck really. I got the last three letters first go but there are loads of combinations for the first two letters.

3 for me.

Pleased with that!

In 3 today. ?on the WhatsApp threads where we share results, we just use the share button and only coloured blocks are shown.

I’ve checked back to look at the stats I’ve posted and the letters can’t be seen. I take a snapshot and make sure I crop the bottom off to hide the lower part of the keyboard.

Well done Molly, you’re really good at this

Sorry muse, I didn’t mean you

I take back what I said. I am doing it each day and enjoying the challenge blush

6 goes this morning.

Can I ask do you all start with the same word each day? I just use a random word that fits. But my son has suggested using a word containing several vowels. He starts each with the same word and he solves it in 3 and occasionally 2. I’m mostly in the 4-6 category.

I didn't get it at all today, not a word I would have thought of.

DanniRae Wed 26-Jan-22 10:55:57

Did it in 2 - but had to have a break before I got it as my brain needed a rest!!

Callistemon21 Wed 26-Jan-22 10:58:32

I thought I was getting better!

muse Wed 26-Jan-22 11:00:49

3 today. ?

Grannynannywanny. I change my starter word every day. I did try lots of vowels a few times but found it didn’t help.

annodomini Wed 26-Jan-22 11:15:16

Got it in four. Only one letter from my starter word was relevant. Better than none!

You’re doing well muse. I’m inclined to think my son’s success is because he’s much smarter than me rather than his theory about the vowels!

I got it in 4 today. I also only got one letter the first time round.
I usually use words with vowels in as the same starter but your doing better than me muse so perhaps I’ll be more random in future ?

FannyCornforth Wed 26-Jan-22 11:47:41

Doodle I always use different starters too.
It adds an element of frisson.
I can also pretend that I’m psychic (so far, all evidence points to quite the opposite)

Callistemon21 Wed 26-Jan-22 11:51:32

I tend to look round and focus on an object that has five letters as a starter.
Sometimes it's no use whatsoever

DanniRae Wed 26-Jan-22 12:02:42

Thinking what 5 letter word to use for Wordle is one of the first things I think of when I wake up.......along with what to have for dinner and what to wear! grin

Patsy70 Wed 26-Jan-22 12:56:37

Me too, DanniRae. It’s addictive! ?

nadateturbe Wed 26-Jan-22 13:16:06

Different starter word each day.

nadateturbe Wed 26-Jan-22 13:17:53

Welcome to the club nadateturbe

Thank you FannyCornforth?

mokryna Wed 26-Jan-22 13:21:06

I use the same starter word as it nearly always has 2 or three letters. I go on the saying, ‘ why fix if it isn’t broken.

DanniRae Wed 26-Jan-22 13:27:35

I did not do it in 2!! I did it in 4! Sorry for mistake blush
