Wordle Discussion Daily Spoilers

[iri10]

I think I meant to guess "PENAL" for my third attempt, but had a Freudian slip. Oh well, didn't change the result:

I hear ya. I share scores with two of my daughters daily and they both got it in three today, saying they had lucky guesses; proving, as always, that it is better to be lucky than good. FLOUR was a good guess.

But I was already upset with NYT games today because Spelling Bee would not accept either LINGUAL or INGUINAL as words.

Might be the worst four letters to get correct..

 

[uconnbaseball]

First loss in a while. Ridiculously unlucky considering pawer removed patch and watch as options.

Total brain fart on second and third guesses. Ugh.

But a fortunate brain fart getting the C in the first spot.

Pretty good today

Bad third guess, there will probably be some 3’s today.

Not proud of this. Three words, two tries left, what's a boy to do?

ok, got a technical problem. can't seem to paste. it was a six and I had to use the trick in line 5.

fixed

Oof. Not great. I knew my 4th guess wouldn’t be a solution word. I didn’t even think of SUAVE.

I thought of SPADE much earlier but didn’t use it for the same reason you had reservations about SLAVE.

Yes, I had misgivings about picking those two back to back but I never thought of SUAVE and it was eliminated anyway, so there was nothing left. It’s a shovel and a suit in cards, it should be a perfectly fine word.

Oh I agree and am well aware of its proper meanings, but I have been surprised by similar words that are not accepted for Spelling Bee.

Yeah I know you know them, it’s just sad sometimes when words aren’t acceptable due to some other possible usage. I’m glad this one was ok, just wish we didn’t need to wonder if it was.

 

[iri10]

This particular case was kind of a tough choice on whether to use the eliminator word or not. If I hadn't, I think I'd have still had a 2/3rd chance of getting it in 4, and a 1/3rd chance of getting it in 3. Which isn't bad, really.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Prost.

 

[storrsroars]

I had high confidence in all three of my words. Wordle is becoming too pedestrian.
