Once you've eliminated all of the vowels, that means there's gotta by a 'Y'. I solved CYNIC from a few weeks ago on try 3 (my second guess had an N in it). 🙂 Yeah... But have you ever nailed a Wordle on 2 tries? I have a few in repertoire! 😉 I came close to nailing a hole-in-one on those occasions! I can guarantee, You'll never get a hole-in-one covering a lot of vowels. But... Anyway, "Everyone is a winner" covering it under 6. Now... Where's my "participation trophy" 🏆 And I'll be on my way! 😉😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD4Bills Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) For Wordle, I usually start with a word with at least 2 if not 3 vowels and 2 or 3 of the "usual suspect" consonants (S, T, R, N). Since becoming part of the NY Times, far too many "good luck guessing the final letter" kinds of words, like _OUND...you can burn through all of your remaining guesses cycling through BOUND, FOUND, ROUND, WOUND, POUND, etc. I use the same strategy for Dordle and sometimes Quordle. For Octordle and Sedecordle, I'll use the same strategy using my first two guesses to cover more ground. Latest addition to my morning repetoire? Nerdle...basically Wordle but math instead of words. Need to guess a simple equation using 0-9, +, -, *, /, and = Edited March 30, 2022 by DD4Bills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Quordle and Octordle are more my jam lately. On all three, I usually start with IRATE or ORATE. Depending on what I get, I'll try SOUND next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that there are other sites like this, but I'm always up for the challenge. If I have a Day 0 design goal, it's to not publish the entire dictionary of words, unlike Wordle, in a JSON format -- that's viewable by everyone. No, you can't cheat by looking at the dictionary alone, but it's a huge glot of (data) payload, and it's painful to the eyes to look at.

After my second guess I had the whole thing except the fourth letter then had three unsuccessful guesses, all valid , then got it on the last one with the only viable letter left on the table. Annoying. I opened with Feast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) I used to go with picking the most vowels... But now go with a random word I think will nail it. Can get it usually 5 or less. Only had two times were I had 4 last letters and missed choosing the wrong first letter and with a slew of choices... Failing at +6. It's really doesn't matter. If you answer it under 6 you win. +6, you're a stinking lover. Everyone is the same winner < or = 6. Why not try for 1? What I wanna know is... I started playing game late... Is there a list of old winning Wordle words? Edited March 31, 2022 by ExiledInIllinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's even easier if you totally whiff on first word. Next word 5 all new letters. Only 26 letters in alphabet. Nevermind. I read that wrong. Yeah, I missed twice.
