4/6 is not a possible time signature. The bottom number must be a multiple of 2.
Where do I start with this?
Are you thinking that 6 is not a multiple of 2? 'cause last time I checked, ...
But let's assume that you meant "power of two" I'd agree that that was the norm, but that doesn't mean that 4/6 is impossible: just rather unusual. It gives you triplet quarter notes as a beat, with 4 of them in a bar. It's probably the kind of nonsense you're more likely to find in the odd bar or two bridging two sections together, rather than as the time signature for a whole piece.
You're right, power of two. Triplet quarter notes as a beat? Why? Just easier to read than triplet 8ths? This hurts my little brain. Quarters or dotted quarters have been "one beat" since time immemorial.
This felt like a very chancy Wordle, as in, once I had four letters in the right place, the fifth letter could have been one of four possibilities, so could potentially have taken all six tries.

Nerdle was more straightforward. Sometimes there are several slight rearrangements of numbers it could be, but there seemed only one possibility after my first two tries.
I have no idea if this will be harder or easier but I used the link to make my own Wordle puzzle. If you care to try it I'd be interested to know if you found it easier or harder than others. xhttps://mywordle.me/?word=rwmlo

It's a word that I imagine is in Wordle's bank of words, so no harder, in theory, although of course with Wordle you know they have this bank of words, and so statistics of common letters come into it, whereas a person deciding to think of one word for their own Wordle isn't likely to pull a word out of a hat, as such, but to try to think of an interesting word that isn't so obvious. So usual strategies aren't so likely to apply.

I stared at it for a long time after row 4 before I found a word that fitted and didn't use letters I'd eliminated.

Thanks for that. I got suspicious after my second guess “cloud” was scored the same as my first “tread”. Third guess was the charm. In some ways words with unusual combination are easier because there are fewer alternatives. But it is hard to know for sure when the target word is one recently focused on.

I didn’t realize Wordle chose words randomly. Now I’m keen to try some other deliberately chosen Wordles.
What the heck is Vanilla edit permission and where is it to be found?
Your edit time expired. Vanilla is the software that runs the forums. You started something that used edit permission on a post, but the 6 minute edit window expired. Sometimes you can cause that with the use of your browser's back button. Reload the browser window tends to fix everything. If it does't, close the window and re-open it.
I find Nerdle interesting because normally after the first two tries, I have an general idea of what it is, but there are a couple of digits that could be one of several, so it's about trying them out, literally just trial and error. So you can get it in three, four or five, and it's pure luck. That aspect of it is a bit dull, and not so much like a logic puzzle.
I don't like nerdle because the = could be just about anywhere
I have, however, spent far too long playing quordle.
I think the = has to be in the 5, 6, or 7 slot. There is only a single number to the right of the =. I don't think equations of the form 4x2=16/2 are allowed.

Yes, one of the rules is: 'Also, the number on the right of the “=” is just a number (not another calculation)'. I usually find it by the second try, but the max number of times would be three. Normally feedback from operator placement from the first try gives a clue.

The tangent on time signatures doesn't really belong here. Let's stick to Wordle and similar games on this thread, please.

@mousethief I assume you hadn't seen my host post because of the new page. Please drop the tangent or take it elsewhere.

Byrdle, on the other hand, really pissed me off, as the answer had been one of my default "starters".
Just not today - it took me 4.
I have, however, spent far too long playing quordle.
