#242 was hard.
⬜️🟨🟨⬜️⬜️
⬜️⬜️🟩⬜️⬜️
🟨🟩🟩⬜️⬜️ <- Had to guess on a name here
⬜️🟩🟩🟩⬜️ <- Is this really a word?
🟩⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ <- Okay at this point I just need to eliminate some letters
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 <- I literally tried every combination of letters until it became a valid guess

Nearly a 4 - only knew one word with those three letters in the middle, turns out there's another one :rolleyes:

Didn't even know the word I used on row 3 existed, but it got me where I needed to be :P
 
Someone just wants to bump their user ratings count :lol:

Tbh that's probably something the NYtimes could do to get people talking about the game even more than normal.

Phew. And I was lucky here. Twice.

Once, because word #5 was a shot in the dark - a word I didn't even know existed. I just wanted to try out different letters.
Twice, because I happened to need to use the final word at work recently (to help a Canadian client), otherwise I wouldn't even know it.
 
Made a meal of this one.

Fail - Probably could have made some better guesses, but it came to down to one solid option and in the end I had a 50/50 chance.
 
I need to remember that @Spacegoat lives in the future and does tomorrow's Wordle before most of us do.

As such, I was mightily confused as how on Earth you could guess 6 different words with C-U-K after getting that right on the first go!

I'm still a bit mystified as how that combination is possible too. It's going to make my Turdle™* quite interesting tomorrow morning.

Oh, don't worry. You'll be confused at how this one took me six goes to guess it. I really need to stop playing, so soon after waking up. :lol:

I've found that waiting until midday gives me a more clarity: I'm usually not ready for deep thinking by morning, and my patience is usually worn thin just before bedtime.

Good grief. I thought I was done after coming up empty on guess 4.

Damn it, this could have been so much better...
 
I'm not counting this one since I looked at a spoiler, so I'm still 2-1 (or 2-2 if you want to throw in the Forza one)

I was getting sweaty as it went down. So many combinations still possible at that point.

I must admit, I couldn't unsee the guesses I've seen online like @Spacegoat's one above, and was able to figure out 1-3-5.

However, all of those letters are in my starting word normally, so it was pretty likely that I would have got it in 4 or 5 anyway.

I used a sneaky strategy to avoid a 6 though, and could have got it in 2 but for sticking to my system:

I made a list of all letters that could fit in positions 2-4 and then identified letters that could be in both places. I then paired them up and used those in the first two guesses, which conveniently ruled out most of the other possible words.

C-P
T-L
N-K
H-K

The start gave me so much hope then after row 3 I was like "It's gonna be one of those again, isn't it? :ouch:"
 
One day there will be a word with at least two of Q, Z, J, X that will cause an absolute Wordle massacre of failures. :lol:

Worldle just doing country outlines is a bit boring. Make it difficult and start doing country subdivisions. I wanna confuse my Schleswig-Holsteins with Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrugs!
