Would that have helped? If none of your letters were repeats and you avoided doubles it's hard to see what you could have done differently. Comes down to luck? Anyway, I'm doing just what I shouldn't, overthinking a trivial game. It's bang, bang, bang, over, move on to more important stuff. Unless there's a GM rating up for grabs?

You've lost me here (I must be tired), because it's always a kind of anagram when you've got 4 out of the 5 letters - the desperately difficult problem was the 5th letter. ... Also, your speed let you down, didn't it?

Not to crow (really) but I did it in twenty seconds, late at night and three sheets to the wind, without caring whether I was sure about the word (it will have been in my subconscious not so much from a knowledge of American horses or reading Cormac McCarthy - which I haven’t done - but from the Ford 1970s controversy. Look it up as it as I won’t be replying about this). Six attempts is ideal, it gives space to gamble. I’ve not failed yet despite various deliberate kamikaze approaches (and creating games within Wordle) and my not being a wordsmith. I make Wordle fun. You seem to dislike it.

I am very good at getting no letters at all in the first line. I also got a 4 in the French version today, with a starting word that included a double letter and a Z.

In reply to mbh:

I couldn't see any way to rearrange the letters I had for well over an hour.  For some strange reason, it was not at all obvious. I suppose because the arrangement of letters is very unusual in the English language.

How and WHY are you ever spending more than 20 minutes on Wordle? I'm almost always done in about 3 minutes, sometimes much less. Saturday's was an outlier, 20 minutes, but mostly because I wasn't concentrating as it was late at night and I was watching a film from your old colleague/boss/hero. 

 

"I suppose because the arrangement of letters is very unusual in the English language." 

What on Earth do you even mean by this? The word was "lilac". Extremely common.

In reply to Blue Straggler:

I meant just what I said. That the arrangement of letters is unusual in English, not that the word lilac is rare. www.crosswordsolver.org shows that the only other five-letter words in English that end with -ac are: Anzac, bobac, carac, dirac, etaac, guiac, ileac, iliac, isiac, linac, serac, sifac, sumac, and triac. Most of these are very rare indeed, aren't they?

> Wow, Chris, you seem rather good at this.

Just going through a spell of lucky first word choices. I don't usually choose a calculated 'best' opener. Rather just something that pops into my head with one or more vowels, in order to keep it fun. I'm as likely to go with 'plums' as I am 'orbit,' 'right,' or as in this case 'bream.' Sometimes it works well, more often less so...

It's curious in a way, one is rightly chuffed to get a one but of course it's pure luck and removes the mental stimulation and problem solving aspects which makes the daily ritual appealing. Salvaging a six can be equally satisfying.

 gribble 23 Jul 2022
In reply to john arran:

It used to be 5 letters, but has now gone to 6.  A new way of working it out, and it does hurt my brain.  The scholarly bit is that the word is one that might often be used in science world, but could equally be in literary world.  It basically opens it up to a much wider range of possible solutions, rather than the select list that Wordle uses.  Not one to do before the morning coffee!

Is that because you think it is helpful to have a Y in your starter? If so, why?  I usually go with the first two-vowel word that comes into my head. This may be why I am not doing so well, but helps  to make it fun.

I agree that interesting words are better than "multiple choice" options. I rather liked TRYST the other day.

It was 50/50 after 2. I chose poorly.

1 in 4 after 2, but a certainty after that if I chose wrongly and carefully, as I did.

can't figure out what line 2 word reduces to 1/2 or 1/4..

In reply to magma:

ADIEU/STORK left me with the choice (I think) of STONY, STOOL, STOMP or STOOP. I went for STOOP, leaving only STOMP as a possible solution. Had I gone for STONY, for example, it could still have been any of the other three.

I wracked my brains for at least 4 or 5 minutes on today's one, but was completely stumped. In the end, there was only one word I could think of that fitted the information from my first two words. It was the correct answer:

Likewise. It was an enjoyable brain-strainer going from two to three. Turns out a few hours sleep was all that was required 🙂

Par. Four choices at least left after line 3 with none of them narrowing down the subsequent choices if I chose wrongly, so a good outcome.
