If you play Wordle, you know what this means. I found the random 5 letter word in 5 guesses out of the six allowed.

I was addicted to this game a few months ago and managed to wean myself off it.

I just played it again...

Thanks.... :-x

How are you displaying that picture? I don't see any formatting for it.

I think they're ascii characters, no images needed. Wordle produces them for people to copy and post on Twitter.

Ali posts her results everyday on FB and I usually post mine in the comments on her post.

Do you normally start with the same word, or do you mix it up with random words?

I'm a bit of both - I had a trip with a work colleague a while ago, and he said he always starts with AUDIO because of the number of vowels. I've tried that a few times, but it doesn't generally help that much :D

I have no set word. I aim to use 4 of the 5 vowels in the first two guesses as well as a few of the common consonants.

Sometimes I have to leave it alone for a while and come back to it if I’m not seeing anything. :)

My first three guesses are:
STEAL
GROIN
CHUMP

Sometimes it changes, depending on what I get out of any of them.

I played a bit a while back, but gave up.

Apparently the best first guess is WEARY.

I don't know anything about ascii. I've posted it on FB a few times, but you can post most anything there. Always a pleasant surprise when something works here. :lol:

Very good, Fist!

Got my first 2 in a while. Not as easy as this looks. Had to think about it a while.

Nice. I think I've only ever gotten two twos.

I'm waiting for the word to be STEAL, so I get it in one! : lol:

A few months ago a friend got it in 1. I think the word was CHEEK.

Which is a rather cheeky first guess.

Indeed. I would never make my first guess a word with less than five different letters.

In my own defense, I'm a little bit out of it, having just developed covid. My fourth guess, taking away a letter I knew was correct at the end, is the result of my symptoms. :mrgreen:
