Anyone Doing Wordle?

[Boatboy24]

I swore I'd avoid it, but am now a little addicted.

 

[FlamingoEmporium]

It gave me a word that didn’t exist

 

[JBP]

Yes. It was a quick addiction early on.

 

[Jovimaple]

At least it's only one puzzle per day, so the time sink is limited.

 

[sour_grapes]

Yeah, I am hooked, at leat for the time being.

I am also doing dordle, quordle, and octordle. Not to mention nerdle and worldle

You are doing great! I am behind you:

 

[Boatboy24]

I got stumped today. Only needed the first letter with three guesses and I still missed.

 

[BigDaveK]

How many people googled "wordle"?

Yup, I did.

Yep, I was in the same situation. I knew there was at least 3 possibles and no way of knowing which it was. I got it on the 1st guess - pure luck for sure.

I don’t get this. I downloaded the app and started playing but I can just keep playing game after game.

Got it. A website not an app/game. Does everyone get the same word each day.

Yep. One word, and only one - same word for all.

You may have happened on one of the very many copycat sites.

 

[Venatorscribe]

Yep. I look forward to the daily challenge. it’s become my first activity each morning before reading the news sites.

 

[Dkrmwiz]

Worldle is fun too! If I'm on the right continent I'm happy my co worker and I do wordle and worldle every day.

It’s a little morning activity for me, @4score, @crushday and a couple other guys. I wish they gave your average score. We see it as a par 4; some get birdies, an occasional eagle, with bogies here and there.

 

[sour_grapes]

I wish they gave your average score.

Well, I suppose a reason that they may not is what do you do about if the user does not solve the puzzle? How can you average that in?

It is nice that they give you your distribution. You can probably eyeball an average from that!

 

[Old Corker]

Ok, started with a bogey, then a par, then two birdies and thought I’d found the perfect strategy. Then two more humbling bogies. Yep, hooked.
