jerryskids 5,169 Posted March 3, 2022 Got today's in 3. Usually I get 4 with a more conservative approach but @Mike Honchogot 3 so I felt challenged and took a risk. Same with yesterday, my daughter got 3 so I couldn't let her beat me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get conservative and usually do three random words to start to get as many letters possible, today, my 2nd random word just got me there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every letter that is in the "word" comes back yellow(correct letter, incorrect position) or green (correct letter in correct position). Wordle It's definitely a bragging rights thing in our office every day---and it's very rare that I get to brag. This will only be my 2nd low score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get conservative and usually do three random words to start to get as many letters possible, today, my 2nd random word just got me there. I just looked; I've only done the "original" one 6 times (I had been playing a knockoff without knowing it). Of the 6, I've gotten it in 3 twice, 4 thrice, and 5 once (focking "rupee," I guessed "puree" on my 4th guess, that's actually more of a real word dambit! ). So I guess I'm averaging just under 4. Like you I typically spend 2 or 3 turns exhausting letters and then I can hone it down. I'm a big crossword puzzler so this is right up my alley. @Mookz is my crossword buddy here; wonder if he's playing it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is probably the only word thing I've ever been passable at doing. I suck at Scrabble, Wheel of Fortune and crosswords.

Just didn't it on another computer, the NYT version absolutely tells you if the word if you don't get it. Also with Rupee and Puree, when I guessed puree and had all the letters and three in the correct position, even my dumbass could figure out what the correct word was.
