Wordle - a daily word game

[Sampson]

I start with IRATE.

 

3 most common vowels and the 2 most common consonants.

Nice one, irate it.

[Sampson]

I saw someone suggest RAISE is better than IRATE as the letters are in more natural positions.

 

Also T is more common than S in the dictionary where words are in their root form, but S is more words overall because of plurals. Not sure if wordle does plurals or not. Apparently R is the most common consonant either way though.

 

D and N can also be a good shout assuming Wordle allows past tense of verbs.

 

Basically any word you can get A I and E in and then 2 from R T S N and D in is going to be a great shout for an opening word I reckon.

 

If I don't get much from IRATE, I'll probably go for SOUND as my 2nd word.

I’m stuck. Last letter green and two yellows.. I’m starting to get nervous!

[MPH]

Last guess! I have letters 2,3,5! I’m sweating!

I start with TIRED, so not too dissimilar from your combinations 😊

Failed today, didn't read the rules properly so didn't realise the letters went yellow if in the word and wrong place until after my 3rd guess. I got close and think another go would have got it but look forward to tomorrows

Just realised you can have the same letter twice in each word.

Didn't read that in the rules! 

Thanks Izzy, I was sweating on the 6th turn before reading the thread.

How sad is it that I just saw it was gone midnight and I thought “Ooh new wordle”

 

Difficult one again today.

[Sampson]

I got it in 6 as well after spending about 20 minutes on my 5th guess to try and find a word that fits. Today's will beat a few people I think, it was even tougher than yesterday's.

Damn thought I had it on my last go but my word wasn't the right one!

[RobHawk]

Failed today.

I got it on the fourth one after spending 20 minutes trying to work out what word fits with the second and fifth letter that I had green. Difficult one today
