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 too was enjoying this thread. What a pity it has been spoiled by a few negative comments and the perception is that people are being made to feel bad, if they don't solve the puzzle.
Maggiemaybe, ignore.

I am not ashamed if I don't get it in five, just frustrated. It makes me want to have another go.
I applaud those who manage it. ??

Totally agree, this thread is just for fun, It does not affect my life, I look forward to doing it just once a day.
As Maggie said this is not a support thread, when I get 5 or 6 and I say not pleased, it is about myself only, its also said a bit tongue in cheek.
I also have to say I am on here because I like the game, just that.
Most of the time when people say things they are joking, please keep it light hearted and say what you feel, dont feel awkward and guilty.

Very well said rafichagran
We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Nothing to be ashamed of! smile

5 for me.

Sorry but who was making anyone feel bad ?? A tad over sensitive maybe ?

I’ll volunteer to make myself feel daft …I didn’t notice until yesterday that letters which turn grey are then “eliminated ‘ on the keyboard ????‍♀️?

4 goes for ne again today, I’m loving this game! I agree Marydoll about working out the possible answers once some letters have been eliminated.

FannyCornforth Sun 30-Jan-22 11:20:10

Blooming ‘eck Lucca!
I think that you need some sort of award for getting anything right! smile

Doodle Sun 30-Jan-22 11:20:52

4 for me again. Really thought I’d get it in 3 but no.
Lucca you are not the only one. I started off writing down the letters I’d used and crossing them off, ?

DanniRae Sun 30-Jan-22 11:26:09

4 for me and I am very happy with that as for most of the game I was totally flummoxed! smile

This may have already been posted, but you can access all past Wordle puzzles on Wordle Archive. Easy to find and you can play it all day.

got in 3 today , I'm just happy to solve it though even if it takes all 6!

Philippa60 Sun 30-Jan-22 14:48:58

Love it! A really nice way to start the day over coffee and then share with my Mum and daughter

FarNorth Sun 30-Jan-22 14:56:01

If you are into sums, try Nerdle nerdlegame.com

FarNorth Sun 30-Jan-22 15:04:45

Thank you, Boz.

Well I thought I was into numbers till I had a look at Nerdle. It’s fearsome!

muse Sun 30-Jan-22 16:41:35

3 today.

I’ve matched my DD for the past five days.

Farnorth. Thanks for the numbers game. I’m more into numbers than words. Enjoying Wordle though. Don’t miss a day. Need to keep those little grey cells working.

Marydoll Sun 30-Jan-22 20:19:04

FarNorth, I had a look at the Nerdle game. I think this may become an obsession of mine, once I work out how to play it. Thank you for the link.
I have, as usual, gone to You Tube for help! I badly need it.

Mollygo Sun 30-Jan-22 21:04:14

Thanks for the Nerdle link. Took me 5. For some reason it looks much more daunting than Wordle.

FarNorth Sun 30-Jan-22 22:21:10

It is more daunting, I think, but both are addictive.

Allegretto Sun 30-Jan-22 22:54:35

I got it in 3 today. Off now to check out Nerdle ……..

grannyrebel7 Sun 30-Jan-22 23:14:41

What are the rules and do I just go online to get it? I heard there's not an app for it.

Marydoll Sun 30-Jan-22 23:17:22

I went online to find it.
I'm still figuring out the rules. I have a fair idea, but not quite there yet. ?

FannyCornforth Sun 30-Jan-22 23:31:59

I haven’t got a chance with nerdle.
I found out when doing teacher training that I’ve got dyscalculia, which explained a lot!
Just the thought of it makes me feel a bit sick!

Is anyone else having any success with Absurdle?
I know that it’s got a couple of fans on here.
I can’t fathom out the rules

Mollygo Sun 30-Jan-22 23:38:09

I’ve had a go with Absurdle. I tried doing it like Wordle and it was OK. Then I read the explanation. That really put me off.
