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 play Absurdle, the same as Wordle but you can waste hours as there is no limit to the amount of games played.

Oh heck, Elizabeth27, don't tell me that! ???

Actually, there is Wordle Unlimited. I think it's easier than the daily Wordle so not so much of a challenge.

3 for me today.

Thanks for those starters folks. Interesting. I always use the same word as it uses three vowels and two well used letters which really helps me with elimination quickly. Quickly? Six goes today. Ignore me!

I think I've downloaded the wrong Wordle game on my phone, as all I've got is a grid where you have to link letters to form words .

Another search needed, I think.

that's the one I got! Need to load the correct one. Bit confusing having the same name

I missed it by one letter on the last go today☹️. Mind you it was pretty early in the morning and I only had one eye open!

So did I, chose the wrong one.

I have seen it done on Lingo, and I’ve only watched it a couple of times.

Maggiemaybe Sun 16-Jan-22 11:23:25

4 for me again today. I’ve managed a 3 on three occasions, but 4’s my usual score. I want to know what acclaim you get if you’re lucky enough to guess it first time. smile

I started with haven today.

Has anyone ever got the word right first time?
Telepathy?

Agree with Nadateturbe it does sound a bit like Lingo, my sort of game though, will have a look.

Kim19 my starter word today was glove. I use a different one every day.

Blossoming Sun 16-Jan-22 10:40:18

So far it’s taken me 4 goes every day. Good to get the little grey cells going smile

Kim19 Sun 16-Jan-22 10:25:07

Please replace 'one's with 'phew' Didn't preview!

Kim19 Sun 16-Jan-22 10:23:27

I too was rubbish today. Just made it in six. Retrograde step indeed. Even the remote commentary box came up with 'one's. Me too! Would be very interested to know what people used as starter words.

Calistemon Sun 16-Jan-22 10:19:25

I was worse today - it took five attempts

It depends on the first word, of course!

Oldnproud Sun 16-Jan-22 10:17:27

My best yet - got it in three today.

lemsip Sun 16-Jan-22 09:48:30

a dismal failure for me today!
, very early this morning and forgot the colour of letters in correct place and those in word but elsewhere! so kept putting the ones I thought were correct in same place.....lol.

nadateturbe Sun 16-Jan-22 09:18:59

This sounds same as TV game Lingo.

TillyTrotter Sun 16-Jan-22 08:21:32

3 attempts for me and got it on the 4th.
Not bad, but as my teachers said “could do better” ?

BlueBelle Sun 16-Jan-22 06:45:21

5 today…. but I got it ?

May I ask why you report your results on here and then start a NEW thread to report it too mokryna

muse Sun 16-Jan-22 00:26:52

mokryna Sat 15-Jan-22 23:43:16

Lexisgranny Sat 15-Jan-22 16:49:03

Just had a go on Wordle Unlimited and after days of not being able to better my score of 4 on Wordle, I got it in 2. I feel ridiculously pleased with myself! grin

cornergran Sat 15-Jan-22 13:03:44

Three for me. Enjoying the challenge. The brain has got lazy.
