The original thread seems to be full. I can’t see a follow on so I’ve started this one ready for the morning rush. Good luck everyone !

If we're doing the same Wordle (there are several sites), it was an American spelling today. Got it in 5.

Lucca Wed 09-Feb-22 07:50:46

Got it in 3. US spelling …..

Wordle 235 6/6

?⬜⬜⬜?
⬜??⬜⬜
?⬜?⬜?
?⬜⬜??
⬜????
?????

6 for me. That was a frustrating one. I didn’t think I was going to solve it and the penny dropped eventually.

Are spoilers allowed now?

Another poster started a spoiler free Wordle thread, and she got ticked off, for creating a ‘duplicate thread’ I recall

nadateturbe Wed 09-Feb-22 08:41:19

On line 5. Still can't get it even with clue ?

TillyTrotter Wed 09-Feb-22 08:55:30

Please Wordlers, give no clues.
Or we’ll soon have answers posted again and that will spoil so much fun for so many ?

lemsip Wed 09-Feb-22 09:03:31

always someone wanting to spoil a good thread!

stay off the thread if you can't do as asked... you are not helpful

nadateturbe Wed 09-Feb-22 09:25:18

I would never have guessed a US word.

merlotgran Wed 09-Feb-22 09:43:39

I didn’t look at this thread until after I’d wasted time refusing to give in to the obvious. At least we now have a heads up for future frustrations.

Got it in four. Would have been three if I hadn’t been so stubborn.

Bellanonna Wed 09-Feb-22 10:23:01

Got it in 4. Had to think carefully.

Maggiemaybe Wed 09-Feb-22 10:24:37

I don’t think anyone’s given a clue as such, have they? When I do the French and German Wordles at least I know what language I’m dealing with. grin

Though I’m down to my last shot on the German one today and swear I’ve tried every unlikely combination going. I got the normal Wordle in 2 and the French one in 4.

Callistemon21 Wed 09-Feb-22 10:30:40

Thanks for the clue ? - it still took me 5!

FannyCornforth Wed 09-Feb-22 10:39:53

The US spelling for a 5 letter word that is referred to here is always going to be:

Consonant O Consonant O Consonant

As in labour / colour etc minus the U

So yes, it’s a big clue!

FannyCornforth Wed 09-Feb-22 10:42:11

Sorry, should have said
SPOILER ALERT!!!

But I think that particular cat is already out of the bag

Maggiemaybe Wed 09-Feb-22 10:45:49

That’s why I got it in 2. grin But there are still plenty of alternatives.

And it’s very frustrating to fail to do it when you’re looking for a British English word you’re never going to find. I’d rather know. What do others think?

Doodle Wed 09-Feb-22 10:58:59

I got it in 4 only due to the American clue.
As most of us now know that Wordle uses American spellings then we shouldn’t need a clue. Other option is to not look at this thread until you have done Wordle thus saving any spoilers.
I would prefer not to have the hint even though it helped today.

FannyCornforth Wed 09-Feb-22 11:02:30

Doodle ? ?

nadateturbe Wed 09-Feb-22 11:34:20

I'm with Maggiemaybe. I didn't think American spellings would have been allowed so I was glad of the clue. Now I know, I can keep it in mind.

Lucca Wed 09-Feb-22 11:48:45

But surely you don’t come on here until you’ve done it ?

FannyCornforth Wed 09-Feb-22 11:55:46

We discussed it previously and decided on no spoilers.

Even if you don’t come on the thread, you can see the comments on the ‘I’m on’ section.

Jaxjacky Wed 09-Feb-22 12:08:18

5 today, hard.

muse Wed 09-Feb-22 12:26:30

Late to Wordle today so got stuck in before posting.

FarNorth Wed 09-Feb-22 12:43:53

At least we now have a heads up for future frustrations.

I only got it because I'd tried that word on a previous occasion, in desperation, and was amazed when it was accepted as a guess although it wasn't right that time.

nadateturbe Wed 09-Feb-22 12:58:30

Lucca

But surely you don’t come on here until you’ve done it ?

I don't normally, but I came on to see if anyone else was finding it difficult. I had tried everything I could think of.

FannyCornforth Wed 09-Feb-22 13:11:47

We have discussed American spellings previously.
I think this is the third or fourth time, I could be wrong of course.
