[Misc] Does anyone else play Blossom?

[Icy Gull]

Enjoying this much more than Wordle these days. More skill, less chance

Blossom, a daily word game

Blossom is a word game in which you use seven letters to make only 12 words. Longer words score better, and bonus letters and pangrams earn extra points.

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I didn't realize until very near the end that you could use letters more than once. 148

Wow.

You get a bonus each time you use the highlighted letter, takes a few goes to get into the swing of it….or maybe you are just shit at English if not

Try not to use any words under 6 letters long too!

Yep.

Tried it on the basis of your recommendation. Took me 5 goes before reading the rules and learning that you could use the same letter more than once and that the ‘yellow’ scores 5 each time you use it! 236.

Not sure if I’ll keep going - nice game, but more time-consuming than Wordle.

Sitting in the back of a car stuck on the M25. Once I understood the rules it became more obvious what to do.
227.
But not sure I have the time to do it each day. Maybe a once in a while on a train type activity

Another one who didn't read the rules.

304. Nice game, but I get a bit of anxiety with these games where you're never sure what the best, or perfect, solution is.

 

[Curious Orange]

So this isn't a thread about Mayim Bialik then?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Decent game, but take a bit of time. Will probably play once in a while when I can remember, or have spare time. Thanks for the suggestion, Icy.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

277 now I understand it

Do you get a bonus if you can spell either Rick or Astley?

 

[happypig]

Saw halfway through that you can use letters more than once. 178

Get it now, was only using letters once

Thanks to @Jack Straw i'm now addicted to this as well as wordle and quordle. I'm not very good at Blossom....average around 180 but that's probably down to doing it before work and rushing it.

 

[Simgull]

also a fan. Does anyone know the criteria for blossom boss/genius etc ratings at the end of the game?

Me too

Thanks for the tip-off @Icy Gull Enjoyed playing it despite being another that didn't realise you could reuse letters until over half way through, 201 scored. I can hear the berating words of Mrs Gull resonating through my head...... "why don't you ever read the instructions first?" To which I always reply "Because it's more exciting"; this is obviously not true but it seems to be a good wind up
