Wordle Discussion Daily Spoilers

[JavaMan]

I suggested a change as there probably aren't any more 2s left in that gun.

And IMHO, 2s are always luck, never skill.

Point noted. However, like a homerun hitter in baseball, I ain't switchin bats til the one I'm hittin with breaks.

Another mistake today, but not an especially costly one since there weren't many possibilities from the original word anyway.

Moral of the story is I’m not up to the AI standards

[HuskyHawk]

Brutal word. Used the vowels and just an A? In spot 2?

 

[storrsroars]

JHC. Spent a solid 20 minutes before resorting to clung to try and get any clue.

On the minus side now - four 6s vs three 2s.

It’s Ws and Ls, the rest is either luck, bad luck, or lack of coffee

I look at it more like golf on a relatively benign course. Every tee shot is blind, but the landing areas are huge. A lot of birdie-able 4s and 5s, tough 3s. Bogeys should be rare, double bogeys very rare.

Got lucky with the 2nd turn, after that it was not hard to guess

 

[uconn1999]

Solving this was not a forgone conclusion

 

[JavaMan]

Perhaps I should forgo any further challenges today.

Size intended.

 

[mussels]

My standard first guess turned out to be pretty lucky today

 

[HuskyHawk]

Abominable. Completely stuck so threw out porno to confirm the second O. I was surprised it accepted it as a word.

 

[storrsroars]

Thought I posted this four hours ago, but was still queued up.

So, following my earlier analogy, this was a decent tee shot on a par 4 with a 6 handicap, followed by a dart of a mid-iron, leaving a short birdie putt.

I really like the BOT analysis.
Husky was solid but unlucky, normally cuts the 2,309 choices to 367. Not today, 820 choices were left. Luck 18 out of 100

CRATE narrowed the 820 remaining choices to 11.
DOING another great choice left only 1 option but it took a while (5min) for me to get there.
4.6 guesses is today’s avg.

How does the schedule for releasing new Wordles work?

Saturday night I made the mistake of looking in this thread at 11:30 p.m. EST, thinking that there wouldn't be any entries for the next day's word, but there was. I spoiled the FORGO word for myself.

So I figured that I'd wait until around midnight of Sunday to try again. I go to Wordle, and it's the same FORGO puzzle that some had solved more than 24 hours previously. And it's telling me that I don't get the next word (which presumably will be the one you guys work on Monday morning) for another 23 hours and 53 minutes. Drat! It must be based around my cookies, somehow.

Got lucky with today word

 

[storrsroars]

Figured there would be at least one 2 today. Not moi unfortunately.

This one is a par 3. Threw a dart to 8 feet, then lipped out the birdie putt.

Eagle

 

[HuskyHawk]

You guys all had strong starts. I felt good about my save after a terrible one. I debated FRAME vs FLAME and chose badly.
The Bot says I had the unluckiest possible outcome for this starting word.

 

[mussels]

Got sucked into the numerous correct choices vortex of death.

 

[uconn1999]

Stormy or rainy would have been more appropriate 1st choices based on the current weather

 

[storrsroars]

Long par 4, dogleg right. Tee shot rolled into a divot. Chunked second, leaving long approach to large two-level green. Long lag putt to 2 feet, careful to not roll past hole. Drained that for bogey.
