[Technology] Anyone else playing Wordle?

Part of the fun is that it's complete luck, and at the end of the day, it doesn't matter one bit if you get it in one or fail. It's all about the journey.

Ah, the old “it’s just a game” psychology?

Birdie 3.

Went the wrong way with the two guesses I had in mind for a mildly annoying 4 instead of a slightly lucky 3.

Average 3.76, streak 41

Disagree, you need to be finding words with all the possible letters in, in order to reduce the risk of not getting there in the end.

It's certainly a game that can make people feel cleverer.

5 today. Another one of THOSE ones.

Eagle - as those first three went green I thought I'd nailed a hole-in-one!

Current & Max Streak: 83

Average: 3.86

 

[Flex Your Head]

A couple of better results after a 6 the other day. But why is it showing my streak as 4? I'm pretty bloody certain I haven't missed a day for weeks. Grrrr!

Anyway, average of 3.80

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Yes, there is. You had four greens on your second guess - that means there are four possibilities for the answer (or three if you had one in your first go). Use three of those possibilities in your third guess and you've got it in four.

That's very good. Deliberately not reusing correct letters in order to scope for a missing letter with multiple possibilities, rather than taking pot shots when the odds may be as low as one in four or less.

Unless you play in hard mode and it won't let you disregard green letters.

Well, I never have.

Does that mean (ahem)...

I'm hard?

(In truth I don't know how to switch on hard mode; I tried but I found it too difficult).

FWIW, that is essentially the approach that I took today - but would not have been able to do if I played in hard mode.

Having advocated this approach I had a rush of blood to the head today and plumped for a 'gut instinct' word, so I got a 4 instead of a 3

But the poster said there was no action he could take so he wasn't playing in hard mode
