50/50 on the third - oh well!

I'm going to start later with some TOAST, then maybe some BACON, and then a ROAST. No CURRY though as that would just be a waste.

Whoever solves the wordle in the least attempts chooses starting word for the following day.

 

Only trouble in your cunning plan is everyone will know what letters you got right looking at your squares.

 

Even Bolam will figure that out.

That ruins your day Mick, like when I saw my mates attempt first.

 

We will have to self-ban ourselves from this thread until we’ve completed it every day.

I used to play this until a couple of months ago I go it it first guess. "DAISY". Kind of taken the excitement out of it for me. Second word was usually "ROUTE" or "OUTER" depending on clues.

Clues?

 

I go in dry.

Well if first guess of daisy gives me ****D i might guess OUTER rather than ROUTE, because lots of words end with ED. I can't be bothered getting too clever about it until I have all the vowels and Y out.

Unusual methodology.

’getting clever about it’ is the point isn’t it?

‘Wordle? Completed it mate.’

 

Jules, you’re an intelligent man.

The fact you got it in one once means f-all.

 

The best days are actually the 5/6’s when you get frustrated and can actually feel your brain working.

 

I got it in one last week because I’d seen my mates attempt, knew his likely source word, and guessed lucky with a massive head start.

It was shit.

 

There are sites giving ‘Wordle clues’.

WTF?

 

It’s now just me, on the shitter, 6.35, no clues, let battle commence.

 

I may take to pen and paper, I may take 8 hours.

It’s just the way it is.

 

I usually choose a source word with S, A and E, so MOIST might provide a challenge tomorrow, but I’ll give it a bash.
