Four goes today and the realisation has finally dawned (Dohhhh…….) that some letters can be/have to be used twice :facepalm:

Many thanks. I’ve tried about a dozen combinations of ‘letters of the URL’ to delete, and it doesn’t matter which combination of letters I delete, it doesn’t come out right. Also, when I paste the URL link into NSC, I get the sodding green and yellow blocks twice, making it even harder to guess what I need to delete!

I’m giving up for the moment.

I get the same. Delete one set plus the letters UL and R keep (Worde 4/6) for example then arrange the squares / guesses one above the other. Then click preview post. That should then give you the same as others are posting plus myself. :lolol: a bit long winded I know. As soon as you’ve done it once it’ll be easy.

First go at Wordle. Made just that bit harder / impossible for not knowing that the same letter can be used twice. Surely the letter used twice should be half yellow half green, would have saved me an hour of running every combo of the remaining letters and coming up with no words at all!

It is the Wordle rite of passage to experience once the frustration of not realising that duplicated letters are possible...

A lucky 5 today, double letter caused confusion, but crept over the line

STARE is doing absolutely shit all for me as a starting word. Might change it.

Streak of 12 but all in the 4/5/6 goes range.

It’s not “shit all” is it, though? There must be thousands of five-letter words with one or more of those letters, and you knocked them all out on your first go!

Maybe I'm being greedy, but I'd hope for 2/3 yellow/greens at least occasionally from that word, and I'm often getting nothing or occasionally one yellow. Seeing people here getting 2/3 yellows/greens on their first try sometimes! 12 goes and I've not come close to that.
