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 !

I think the vibe behind the words has changed.

TillyTrotter Mon 14-Feb-22 08:30:05

I didn’t get it today. I think the words are more challenging. It’s a bit like playing someone at Scrabble who is much better than me!

As you can see my starting word was of no use today.

Abject failure for the first time ever today. Consoled myself with a 3 for Wordle Unlimited

We didn’t have abject failure Lexisgranny, we just didn’t reach our potential (today). ?
Well done to the ‘Solvers’ ?

Elegran Mon 14-Feb-22 09:17:36

Got it just AFTER I had pressed the button on the wrong answer at my last chance,. At least I realised just before the right answer flashed up. A sneaky one.

rafichagran Mon 14-Feb-22 09:45:08

A phew day today.

Took a while

BlueBalou Mon 14-Feb-22 09:52:03

I seem to be averaging 5 attempts, I have done it in 3 once ?

Bellanonna Mon 14-Feb-22 10:07:27

Got it in 6, with a Phew! Really bad choices early on which helped because it limited my choices later.

MissAdventure Mon 14-Feb-22 10:13:08

6 today, which is an improvement on not at all.

NanKate Mon 14-Feb-22 10:49:53

Got it in 3 but it took me 13 minutes ?

Callistemon21 Mon 14-Feb-22 11:00:47

Four today, I was on the point of giving up altogether after the last couple of days.

mamaa Mon 14-Feb-22 11:08:27

6 for me today too- ‘phew!’ Indeed grin

cornergran Mon 14-Feb-22 11:38:30

Another 6 here. Is it just me or is there a different feel to it now?

Callistemon21 Mon 14-Feb-22 11:40:25

No, it's not just you, cornergran

Strange, isn't it.

Grannynannywanny Mon 14-Feb-22 11:54:07

NanKate

Got it in 3 but it took me 13 minutes ?

Impressive! I got it in 5 and it took me 6 hours ?

Nannee49 Mon 14-Feb-22 11:56:31

Think they've cottoned on to canny nans who enter 3 vowel words to start.

Elegran Mon 14-Feb-22 11:59:24

I think they have run out of common words and are having to use unusual ones.

muse Mon 14-Feb-22 12:06:18

Each daily game uses a word from a randomly ordered list of 2,315 words (out of the approximate 12,000 five-letter words in the English language). The smaller word list was chosen by Wardle's partner, who categorized the five-letter words into those she knew, those she did not know, and those she might have known.

I think we’re onto some of the ones she didn’t know. ?

FannyCornforth Mon 14-Feb-22 12:38:35

Sometimes just have to think differently.

It’s good to develop different strategies. Sometimes it is simply a matter of thinking time.

While it is tempting to pick words with high frequency letters it’s not always the right decision.

The high frequency letters are by nature going to appear in high frequency words.

So it might be superficially easier to guess the Wordle; but this isn’t necessarily the case, as there are more words to guess at.

Remember when the word had the common ending ‘ight’ recently?
It was nevertheless hard to guess as it could have been so many words.
