Maybe one for the cruciverbalists

I see on MSN there is a complaint from people about how difficult this one was.

A double vowel and ........................

Lack of imagination me thinks. I have one, it often gets me in to trouble.

Same club, different locations :lol: :lol:

I'm still wondering about the best strategy for Wordle starting words.
I've a couple of 4 vowel words which obviously can get me the vowels in two shots but no help with double vowels.
Alternatively I sometimes start with a word with E R &T in , the most common letters in English.
There still seems too much luck involved, only one a day to practice theories on and you cant easily go back and try a second theory on the same word. Unlike crosswords, there is no hint of themes as there are with some crossword setters.

So like most here I get mainly 4 and 5s, the occasional 3 (like a fluke second guess that gave me the middle letter today) and a few frustrating 6s.

Not a bad day

 

[chataigner]

Oh dear, yesterdays double vowel double consonant beat me. Oddly enough when I was talking about it to Isabelle this morning, the answer came to me instantly. Not on the day though, so an unbroken record is now broken.

Got today's in 3.

I'm not sure how much longer this game will hold my attention. It's not really very challenging, is it.

3 for Wordle and 1 for Worldle. Neither very challenging today.

 

[AndyP]

Poignant choice by Worldle

 

[Doug]

Another day of choosing the wrong option

 

[novocaine]

3. I chose the right option.

 

[chataigner]

3 for wordle, but lost out in "le mot", one of those multiple choice situations where all the letters except one are known and there are a dozen options for the last one. Guessed wrongly 3 times. Irritating.

As for the mot I failed too. I was in the black before I had a drink

FFS drinking that time of the day :lol:

in no way was it a lucky guess, honest. :lol:

Surprised it's still holding the attention of you guys. Suggest you move on the crosswords.

I've ben wondering if word puzzles like this, crosswords and sudoku and its variants, help to stave off demential and memory loss.

There was an article in the Guardian or Telegraph a week or two ago though that said that mental decline, contrary to popular belief, is not present at all or not measurable until past the age of 60.

 

[novocaine]

I use it as a pause in my day. I spent most days elbow deep in fairly complex calculations or penning reports of a technical nature, this is a moment of nothing, something which a complex crossword or soduku isn't going to manage i.e. 3-4 minutes of thought about something that doesn't matter (unless I do the most simplistic of either).

Thanks Adrian, I’ve 3 weeks to get better at wordle before the rot sets in.

 

[chataigner]

3 for Wordle, 3 also for "le mot" today :lol: :lol:

 

[novocaine]

5. got the middle but to many options.

 

[TrimTheKing]

Wordle : 3
Worldle : 5
Quordle : 9,8,7,5
Octordle : 11,12,7,10,6,2,3,9

And I've managed to get some work done too!

I am just far to busy to post my results today

In our estate of 300 old souls, our largest age group is 71-80 with an average of 76.4
Then 81-90 and 61-70
We are an ageing estate and have now lowered the entrance age to 50 from 55

People who do wordle, cross words, sudoku, play bridge, rummicub and gym, swim and pilates are definitely sharper and certainly slows the alzheimer's and dementia.
Some of the 90+ are sharp, operate their computers and phones better than what I can :shock:
The 1 chap over 90, before covid, would hop on a plane to Oz and visit his kids. Then later in the year fly off to Belgium and Poland to visit kids plus keeping in touch on whatsapp.
You can also see with the social functions who attends and who avoids.

People who FaceBook all day tend to lose sight of the bigger world.

As if there aren't enough ...dle's already

Oh God! Another time waster. :lol: I got it first try as well. I guess there will be more difficult ones. Worldle has become a bit more tricky recently.

Frustrating Wordle today for me.
Took 4 guesses before I got even a single green letter and just squeaked in with a correct guess at no 6.

Grrr!

5 I tried using the scrabble points system of high values, just does not always work.


The worldle one = 1 they are quite easy.

 

[Dr.Al]

Wordle was a battle today. I had three letters on my second guess, then four letters on my third. Finally got it in six!

Worldle was an area of the world I don't know well; that took me 4 (but only because I got lucky on guess 4)

Quordle was fine: 4, 5, 6, 7

Then there's this one:



That was hard!

This one is a bit more challenging ................

 

[Mike G]

Something has gone wrong with a rather simple bit of programming:



If I've got all of the 17 right, how is it that my current streak and maximum streak aren't 17? :eusa-doh: :eusa-snooty:

Did you miss a day?

[Mike G]

Probably.
