WORDLE WANDERINGS

It’s just a thought. Maybe Wordle worshippers would like to commune here. 🙂

“I got it in 5 goes”. Does that include the completely random first guess and the final correct guess? I assume so. 

Secondly, can you enter five letters that do not make a word but which might help eliminate some possibilities but confirm others? To do so seems a bit ‘off’ to me. If this is the case, do people use AEIOU as their first word?

So do I. 

I was thinking that Wordle Wonderings might sometimes  be more appropriate 🤣

Tried it for the first time, think I’m already hooked 😆 Got it in 3 😉

No, you have to make a word that is in its dictionary.

My synapses are no longer up to Absurdle.

Played Wordle 7 times. Lost 2, won 2 on 3rd go, 1 on 4th and 2 on 5th.
Also takes words with US spelling. i.e. Favor and not favour. 
Will have to have a go at Absurdle now!
I am sure I have other things I should be doing.

Most internet word games are American so you need to become bilingual. It's not too difficult.

Absurdle works on quite a different premise. It's more like having a bag of scrabble pieces and you have to use up all the tiles in the bag to make as many five words as possible until none left. Kind of. The programme has no set word at the beginning to try and find. You are just trying to find the last word possible with the given letters.

YEARS is a good word to start with, so you get Y and R out of the way. There are no limits to the number of guesses you have. Plurals are ok. There are no weird words I have seen yet or Americanisms.

"i before e" except for when your weird beige foreign neighbour

and his eight atheist heirs forfeit their overweight heifers, seize Beirut

and in fleeing, abseil from great heights with their light-weight bobsleigh

and escape to meet their feisty sovereign in Marseille.

[I write this as a weird beige atheist. I have no heifers and have never been abseiling but I love Marseille. We could no doubt, have a whole thread on how to best punctuate the long sentence].

I prefer absurdle @Fire. Thank you
