Before my first guess i tried to take a guy with a long name not knowing the criteria and assuming it would be letters. Tre’Davious White wasn’t availabile so I ended up with a guy that really narrowed it down. I had two greens and a yellow. What does yellow mean? Close? I think yellow for the division (i.e. - AFC East) means correct conference but wrong division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been 3s and 4s thus far this week. Don't recall if I mentioned it before, but ANISE is another solid starting word. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 The football one cool... Will play that more. Would have had earlier, but didn't read directions. Had green on position, number, and yellow on conference! /smdh... It was a no-brainer had I read directions! Probably would had that in two! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I had never considered this strategy but it seems to be the answer to everything as far as this board is concerned …….. if we just cut or trade Edmunds will we all be able to win these games on our first move every day?

Everyone is a winner. You have 6 tries to get a 5 letter word w/26 letters in alphabet! 😏 Only time remotely getting skunked is on words that you get say last four letters (or similar) w/like 3 choices left... That's just bad luck like: R OUND S OUND F OUND M OUND P OUND W OUND H OUND B OUND Good luck w/that one with 5-1 choices left. That's 8 consonants! That's bad luck hitting the last 4 even w/the first try! So... It's bad luck to LOSE. Edited April 26, 2022 by ExiledInIllinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That usually gives me the missing letter on the first try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You eliminate more 5 letter words than any other word in the English language. So, are you an algorithm now? I like to start with an “S” in the last position. That is often the correct spot for it because it covers anything that is plural and a lot of verbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never fails me. Play Octordle... Use CRANE and see how many greens you get. If the goal is to finish by six, the first three words should be the focus, not the first individual word. If you play it right you can use the 15 most common letters in five letter words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
