Daily WORDLE - 2022

[ERD50]

There are actually 12 words that Wordle accepts ending in "I G H T". A few days ago, I pointed out this challenge:

I tried in a private window, and got 15. But it allows more words as guesses than it does as answers (IOW, the 'accepts as guess' dictionary is larger than the 'answer' dictionary - someone pointed this out way up stream). So in general, avoid 'weird' words as answers.

For common words ending in "IGHT", I get 8, which is kinda funny, as I almost missed "EIGHT"!

Tomorrow I'm turning it on hard mode. Been playing that way anyway. One of the subtle pysch reinforcements of this game is how your tiles turn green in succession rather than simultaneously. You're like, "could it be ... 1-2-3 YES!"

Just got my first 2. One green on the first try. Can't say anymore.

It would have gone faster if I didn't have a certain technical term on my mind due to my recent activities.

This and the NYT spelling bee are now my two reliable time killers

I've been playing for about 2 weeks and I think I'm getting bored with it. It does take some logic, and some luck, but It's really not that challenging. Still, I guess it's a good diversion for a few minutes in the morning.

My first win in 3!
So excited.��

DD, if you're retired, it fills up a small amount of your "free" time.

cd :O)

 

[Out-to-Lunch]

Got it in 3, but, honestly, I could think of another 3 or 4 words that would have fit on my 3rd guess. Better lucky than good, I suppose.

Also my first in 2. Got two greens on my first (standard) guess, and it really struck me that there would be many. many possibilities, it just looked like a common pattern. But I just couldn't find even one for a while. Then it struck me, and all green!

Well this is not my best.
Let's see what I can find as excuses:

I only had 1 cup of coffee this morning and it was a half caf.
My Achilles is slightly sore on right leg
I felt stupid this AM.
I was distracted by bird songs.
One of my tries was an uncommon word because my vocabulary is so large
This game is evil

Finally got it in two! Having 3 letters on the first guess sure helps.

[sengsational]

Today was tough for me. My first "6".

You see I had 4 yellows in the first 2 guesses, and I'll tell you they were all 4 different letters. A word popped into my head, so instead of going with my usual letter elimination word (conservative approach), I used all 4 plus one (bold move) and it was wrong. And my normal third letter elimination word was no help. Then it came to me and I realized there were 3 possibilities that I could see, so I constructed a letter elimination word on the fly and that let me solve it in 6. Going for the "3" cost me my first "6"
