A bit of fun - WORDLE. (NB, US spelling!) No spoilers please

[Bebop]

Looks like a 5!

plainly my sleepless nights are catching up with me. Well spotted. Definitely a 6 - I missed out the one in bold below - luckily the tab was still open on my computer as I couldn't remember at all what I'd put! I had 4 of the right letters for 3 of my attempts.

xYxYx
GxxYx
GYGYX
GGGxY
GGGGx
GGGGG

edit: agree with others, it's not a word I would usually use and surprised me.

 

[sphexx]

I always guess the right one last.

Ah! a cunning plan ™.

 

[Nod]

3 for me! A lucky first guess gave me 3 letters in the form xyyxy which morphed into ygxgx and from there, another lucky guess got me 5 of a kind!

 

[tarric]

Straightforward 4 today 3Y, 2G 1Y, 3G, 5G.

 

[Peter123]

6 for me. A word I rarely use.

 

[Ricardodaforce]

4 today.

 

[sphexx]

4 today. BBXXX XOXXO XOOXO OOOOO

 

[Peter123]

Another 4.

 

[RIR]

And another 4….

 

[Cockney]

Big 5 today.

 

[tarric]

A bit of a struggle today but at least it was a solve 1G, 1G, 1G 2Y, 2G 1Y, 4G, 5G.

 

[Dale.]

4 today,

1Y,
1G,
3Y, 1G,
5G.

 

[Tigger.ufo]

A tricky 4 for me ... running out of letters!

1Y
1G
2G
5G

 

[Bebop]

4 for me too. It took me ages to think of a third word that would fit.

xxxxG
xxxYG
GGxxG
GGGGG

 

[Norkie]

Took me ages to get a 4!

 

[Nod]

3 for me. xxxxg, xgxgg, for once I chose the right option!

 

[Ricardodaforce]

3 today.

 

[Tigger.ufo]

Up late for a magnificent 2!

[sphexx]

Unlikely 3 today — XXXXO XBBXO OOOOO .

 

[RIR]

4 today.

 

[Nod]

Me too. xxxyx, gxxyx, gxyyg then the 5gs.

 

[Cockney]

4 here as well.

 

[Peter123]

5 here. 3G on line 2 yielded too many options.

 

[tarric]

Well after struggling to a 6 yesterdays my opening word gave me 1G 2Y which really narrowed it down and an inspired guess gave me 5G.

 

[Dale.]

Standard 4 today.

1Y,
1G,
4G,
5G.

 

[Jannyfox]

Ummmm.............I've done it again...........
New start word needed

 

[Jannyfox]

Why the sad emojis?

 

[Norkie]

Why the sad emojis?

I thought you meant you had a‘Phew’?

 

[Jannyfox]

I thought you meant you had a‘Phew’?

No, the other one
Got it in one........... for the second time
Hence needing a new start word...........

 

[Nod]

Why? What's wrong with JAMMY?!

 

[sphexx]

Why the sad emojis?

I thought you had a 7!

 

[Ricardodaforce]

5 today.

 

[sphexx]

3 today. XBBXX BXXBX OOOOO. WORDLEBOT surprisingly said of my line two ”it was a terrific choice and would have been it’s top pick” — praised by a machine

 

[Nod]

Woe is me! My first 7 for a while!!!
xxyyx, xxyxg, ggxxg, ggxxg, ggxxg, ggxyg.
I must hang my head in shame and might even have to pay the MiL a visit in penitence,

 

[RIR]

3 today….

 

[Tigger.ufo]

Woe is me! My first 7 for a while!!!
xxyyx, xxyxg, ggxxg, ggxxg, ggxxg, ggxyg.
I must hang my head in shame and might even have to pay the MiL a visit in penitence,

Too many choices!

I got a lucky 4 having already used a lot of letters.

2Y
2Y
2G
5G

 

[sphexx]

Woe is me! My first 7 for a while!!!
xxyyx, xxyxg, ggxxg, ggxxg, ggxxg, ggxyg.
I must hang my head in shame and might even have to pay the MiL a visit in penitence,

Do I remember correctly that this word came up before and caused trouble for some (not necessarily you)?

 

[Nod]

It may have come up before but not that I can remember! While it's not a word I use every day, I am familiar enough with it that it should have sprung to mind - it just didn't this morning!!!

Could be worse, I could have failed to get the Countdown Conundrum...

 

[Cockney]

5 today.
