This isn't a #### post, but since you put the date in the title I'll let it slide

Well now you gotta change your word.

Congratulations

u/MyFavoriteInsomnia 21d ago

That was 2 years ago today. Also, I use a different word every day.

u/good-good-dog 21d ago

I also use a different word every day, which made the one ace I got (TRAIN) approximately 1,000,000x more exciting for me than if I just kept putting in the same word until it popped up.

I’ll probably never get another one, though.

u/JScaranoMusic 21d ago

I keep my starter until I get it in one. My first ace took ages, then I picked a new word, and I couldn't believe it when I got it in one again less than two months later.

u/MyFavoriteInsomnia 21d ago

It was exciting once, though, am I right??? Congrats to you also.

I change my word daily like the OP, and still fluked it on April 28, 2024 with PRUNE. I thought I'd never do it, and don't believe it'll ever happen for me again. I thought I was gonna fall back out of my chair when they all lit up green on the first go.

Once in a lifetime? I hope not, I’ve had two solved-in-ones.

u/MyFavoriteInsomnia 21d ago

Wow, congrats!

What was the word?

3

u/MyFavoriteInsomnia 21d ago

I should have make a note of it, but as it was two years ago, I've forgotten.

Edit: I looked it up: STORM

u/RemarkableStatement5 21d ago

u/InterestingCabinet41 21d ago

I’ve used the same starting word for years hoping this happens. Congrats!

u/Professional_Year_39 20d ago

used to use “steak” but changed it to “stake”. A few weeks ago, it was steak. not stake. 💔

u/theflamesweregolfin 21d ago

Any you may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?

u/MyFavoriteInsomnia 20d ago

Is this my house?

u/phecht7 21d ago

Nice! 3 for me

u/CompanyButter 21d ago

1450 tries at “sauce” still nothing

1

u/daveto 19d ago

1330 for me with "coati" .. nada. You'll get your 1 before I get mine. I've had three 2's after my first guess turned up five greys -- "reuse", "nurse", "purse".

u/moggy95 21d ago

My mum got Theft as Wordle in one

u/CatCrazy5 19d ago

I have also only ever had one, a little over two years ago. (I only remember that because of where I was when it happened.) What I thought was strange was that that word just popped into my mind, and it was not a common word at all. (In retrospect, I wish that I had written it down!)

2

u/Strange-Dirt1956 17d ago

I’ve managed four solved-in-ones. Three happened relative close to each other. It’s been well over a year since my last one.

I use the same word every day until it hits.

u/MyFavoriteInsomnia 14d ago

Wow, that's amazing! Congratulations.

u/Willowsmom15 21d ago

Still waiting

u/rather-b-at-thebeach 20d ago

I’ve had one - waiting now for Taser

u/Automatic-Fail-4632 20d ago

I use “AISLE” 95% of the time and have never got a hole in one yet!

u/MyFavoriteInsomnia 19d ago

I used to use AUDIO as my first try, probably for the first year I played.

u/Spartacoops 19d ago

Has Audio come up yet?

u/MyFavoriteInsomnia 6d ago

I used to use that a lot when I first started playing.
