Your Brain - Use It or Lose It
« on: April 02, 2024, 05:19:28 pm »
New York Times app Wordle is a daily game where you try to guess
the five-letter word with real time hints they provide you.
The twenty-volume Oxford English Dictionary reportedly has 171,000
five-letter words. You get six tries in Wordle.

I did it in two today, starting with HEART and got the answer on
my second try. It will knock you over.

Your brain is like a muscle. It too needs exercise to stay strong.

I got it in two starting with HEART. It took me a bit before I made my second try, though.

Six on third try, one on second try this month.

​

The trick is to place X in unknown after picking most logical places for yellow letters.

Today I put SXIEX and could only think of SKIER which worked.  SHAVE was just a lucky guess starting with very common letter S and A in the middle.

Queue is a pretty tough word for that game.

Pick any five letter word to start and hit enter. The letters render in three colors.  Brown - that letter is not in the word. Yellow - that letter is in the word but out of place. Green - correct letter and place. @Hoodat

Hit enter where?  Is there a link to the puzzle?

Thanks.  Now here's something else I can be addicted to.  As if killer sudoku isn't bad enough.
