Lol - have you seen the list of "complete blanks" I've scored on the first go? I mean it's telling me there's I's and O's, but it's generally been bloody useless!Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 9:41 amOhhh, I’m going to try that as my opening word next time Worthy, ta! 3 vowels and a S.

Re: The Wordle Thread....
I tend to alternate my opening guess dependent on what the word was the day before.
Least - if there weren't any a's or e's
Doubt - if no o's or u's
It doesn't always help!

I had been using ‘power’ but perhaps I need to mix it up a bit! How many goes today Harry?Harry Genshaw wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 10:58 amI tend to alternate my opening guess dependent on what the word was the day before.

Re: The Wordle Thread....
I tend to use "stain" and then depending on whether I need to "cheat" from self-imposed hard mode, "rouge" second.
The words are at random from a list of possible "well known" 5 letter words, and apparently the inventor doesn't even know what the word is which day. They're not curated so no point choosing your first word based on yesterday's word I don't think!

Re: The Wordle Thread....
I'm getting worse. Three fours followed by a five today. FWIW I started with "arose" followed by "tunic", which gives me all the vowels (except y) and the frequent consonants n r s t. Of course it was the c that helped yesterday.

Re: The Wordle Thread....
Just me that racks their brain for a different random word every day? Maybe that’s where I’ve been going wrong of late.
