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

5 for me today.
I am hopeless at maths but have been having a go at Nerdle. I gave up the first attempt, then saw on here you could have six squares instead of 8 and found that easier to do so had a go with the 6 today and did it in 2 then tackled an 8 square one and did it in 5. It’s worth persevering with. For me I start by using both the * multiplication and / division symbols in the first go so I have some idea of what I dealing with. Great games both of them really enjoying this with my morning cuppa. That’s to those who suggested them

I’m on a high today. Just done both NERDLES ? and happy with results and just sailed through WORDLE.

Had 4 letters correct - 2 in the correct places.

2 today.

Hope this streak keeps going. Tomorrow is premium bonds draw day. ?

Delighted- may try mini Nerdle now!

Go for it ixion??

3 today. Chuffed! Didn't take to Nerdle (even though I solved it). Found it boring but will give it a couple of more goes.

Came back to it with little hope and did it straight away in 4! grin

Bellanonna Tue 01-Feb-22 10:53:23

Did it in 4 today.

Four for me today - there were reasonable alternatives!

Don't set your hopes too high muse
Apparently if you win a million they come to see you the day before ?

I rushed to the door yesterday but it was just my Hermes parcel!

3 today! Getting better grin

I read that the developer of Wordle has sold it to the New York Times.
They are keeping it free for now.

I wonder how long it will be before we have to pay to download it.

Three today! I need to get back to two.

annodomini Tue 01-Feb-22 14:06:26

5 again! It should have been 4. I got careless.

6 today.
I think I'm needing more tries each day.

Mollygo Tue 01-Feb-22 19:47:40

I’ve bookmarked the link, but there’s only a few posts left to go before cut off and I like reading peoples comments. Please will someone remember to start a new thread when we get to 1000?

^6 today.

Did you know there’s Wordle Unlimited MissA ? It lets you play as often as you want. I’m staying away from it as I don’t want to feed my addiction ?

Wordle has become the most talked about subject in our family WhatsApp group! There are several people or couples doing it and a healthy dose of competitiveness.

MissAdventure Tue 01-Feb-22 20:52:56

I think I'd find it too stressful grannynannywanny grin

Daft, isn't it?

Grannynannywanny Tue 01-Feb-22 21:02:02

I tried the unlimited one last week. I felt I wasn’t being as careful in my attempts as I knew I could just start another. Also I found it too addictive. So I stick with the daily one and really enjoy it.

MissAdventure Tue 01-Feb-22 21:03:13

The game show is very fast paced.
I couldn't keep up.

Grannynannywanny Tue 01-Feb-22 21:07:32

Same here. The only way I’d be able to keep up with the tv version would be to pause the tv to give myself thinking time between every question. It’d be time for the 10pm news and I’d still be making my way through Lingo!

Callistemon21 Tue 01-Feb-22 22:09:16

Wordle has just been bought by the NY Times

mrswoo Tue 01-Feb-22 22:26:19

Four for me today,
.
callistemon you’ve just reminded me - in the good old days when I actually had premium bonds I was always worried about going out at the start of the month in case I missed the knock on the door to say I’d won a million. I imagined that, finding no one at home, they’d give the money to someone else. grin

It was mentioned on a program this morning and again this evening. Although I enjoy playing Wordle each day I will not pay for it. Maybe, they will have some of those flashing adverts to cover the cost of buying the game..
