Anyone been playing Wordle?
I got into it when my nephew posted a link to it on our family Whats App group, and to be honest, it's just as well they only offer one per day, or I'd be doing nothing else!
I'm not sure quite how it'll fly here: I'm thinking of people posting about their successes and failures.
Just remember: try and avoid spoilers - bearing in mind that we're in several time zones.
For the church music geeks, someone on Farcebark has set up a spin-off called Byrdle.
I'm not usually one to boast, but I got the first Byrdle in one guess.

I've just realised that I've been always doing what is called hard mode - using any revealed hints in subsequent guesses. To me that is the easiest way to play, not hard mode,
And with a very restricted dictionary.
I have started doing Wordle too, but am a bit frustrated with myself because I've already developed freaking strategies as I did for sudoku and can see the day coming when it'll be over way too fast! I probably need to go back to coding for proper amounts of frustration.
You can come back to it on the app. It doesn’t time you out. 🙂
My son can work out how many words in the database by examining the source I have asked him to investigate.
There are 65 words in the Byrdle database so it can keep going for a couple months!
I got today's on the fourth guess.
Three
(No, "three" wasn't the wordle...)
Took me 5. Then they insulted me.
I got Wordle in two this morning!
My ex-mother-in-law's house - pastry like you've never eaten before .. 🤮
Me, too!
It's definitely my favourite of these. Seems the same as Wordle on the surface, but is kind of like an inside-out version, where nothing is chance. The player influences everything, experimenting, using general knowledge of word and letter frequency. Out of curiosity, have you ever got it in fewer than five words? It seems to always take me five, and I'm curious what the minimum is.
I got Wordle today on the second go, but that was a total fluke.
Nope, and I think my average is probably seven right now - I've started playing JUMPY as the first word every time because I got tired of running through all the very similar -to-each-other words ending in Y.
I was starting with words like HASTE or SHARE, to get rid of common letters and still often getting a word ending with Y, which took three tries, but it only took a total of five. One five-try game I played never even included a Y - not sure how that happened. Now I'm experimenting with different words, and it's taking more tries - I think also an average of seven. But occasionally it accepts my word when there were other options left that would have worked, and which are accepted if I play the same game again using them.
Wonder if 4 is possible. Suspect 3 must be impossible - not sure about 4.
It was a different word to yours, @Leorning Cniht , even though you posted only twenty minutes ago, so I guess it's not a one word a day thing?
Absurdle adapts to whatever you do. It doesn't have "a word" - it's continually adjusting possibilities to keep as many words as possible in play.
Where's the brick wall emoji when I need it?
