Once I figured out the trick, I've been getting Wordle in 3...



The first game 2 days ago I did not notice that the keyboard on the page marked the letters of your attempts. So after 2 attempts, the Boggle game mentality kicked in.
Really really helpful if you can use as many vowels as possible in first 2 attempts.

How y'all doing with today's word?

I have 2 tablets. I have found that I can play on each one if I wanted to, and Wordle
doesn’t know it’s me again. No fun in that but could lead to some great averages.

Even though I figured out the trick! First time was when it was posted here, so I bookmarked it, I got it in three. I played yesterday and got it in four and again today!

And I do word puzzles all the time.

Getting it on my final attempt. I try to think of simple words with vowels, but it takes a few rows and a lot of paper and pen manipulation for me to get it.

At least the words are common. I do the NYT Spelling Bee, and some of those words I have never heard of.

I’ve been trying to use as many vowels as possible early on, but it’s not helping.

Three day streak, though. Woo hoo.

and includes common consonants.

I have more fun by not being locked in to those two openers, though.

I'd rather blow it than be bored.

I was ecstatic. I swear it set me up for the entire day and I left for work with a spring in my step. Is that sad?

And it was such an easy word I'm ashamed of myself. I am blaming the fact that I was still half asleep and the coffee hadn't kicked in yet.
