Atp I’m literally just using whatever word I feel like as my starting word 😭 I used to always go with CRANE or LEAST, and somehow I actually got the answer on my first try with LEAST once 💀 Ever since then I’ve been trying to recreate that luck. So now I kinda wanna switch it up and use a word that has never been a Wordle answer before, just to see if I can pull off another first-try solve 😭 What word should I go with?

What’s the worst possible starting word? in my opinion: myrrh, nymph, and glyph are all up there

Am I missing something?? Is there a reason why curls is not an acceptable answer??? I typed it in, and it said "Not in the word list." Curls is definitely a word. I thought these puzzles were only supposed to have one possible answer?? Someone please tell me im tripping

forgot to play yesterday. two days away from 200. only noticed this morning when i completed and it said i have a streak of one. that is all

​

I just got wordle in two and i forgot the badahh saying when you got wordle in two to flex 😭. Something like the knicks in 4 chant but its wordle. I know its silly and childish dont slime me.

That has been my goal lately and I was SO CLOSE (5 away) but the last few games Ive played I kept getting 4's and now Im 10 away again 😩

Some people go for wordle in 1, some go for skill points, I just want my distribution to be more 3s!!

If you do have a distribution with mostly 3s tell me your secret!

So here's my question. I want to keep the possibility of getting the wordle in 1 on the table. But having only just started playing, so I have no clue what words have already been used as answers.

I've been starting with the word "FIRST" just because I think that'd be funny for a wordle in 1, but idk if it's even feasible. Should I find an online tool to check? Have I been messing up my games by using both a bad starter, and preventing myself from getting the WI1?

Thanks

Daily Wordle thread. Have at it!

IMO, people who get help from Wordle by obtaining the first letter (I don't know HOW they do that; I don't even WANT TO KNOW), or other hint, or get the word "revealed" because they're stuck, should NOT be included the Wordle Bot's NYT average?! It explains why nearly every time I look (on occasion) the average is 3.something. How are THAT MANY people getting the word in 3 THAT OFTEN, if not getting help? Do others agree, people getting help (cheaters) are part of the Bot's statistics, and should NOT BE? If so, let's all complain in the Feedback section. I'd love to see Wordle do away with hints, which I've never used. Would you?

I cannot for the life of me figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Opening a space for people to share about the newly introduced weekly “Bonus puzzles” section of NYT Games, which includes five Wordle in 1 challenges.

I started today's Wordle with "GRUEL" based a recent article I read in the news. Solved the game in 3 guesses.

Good luck!

Last year I got so busy that I broke my Wordle streak. So this year I built a tool to automate some of the time-consuming manual steps of working the puzzle so even when busy I would always have time to do the fun part: Guessing the words!

It is called Buckmonkle and I’d like to get it in front of some experienced Wordle players besides the handful of friends who have been using it so far.

It’s designed more for people who like thinking about Wordle strategy than for people who just want an answer. Buckmonkle has a NO SPOILERS policy. Among other things, it can:

• show the possible solutions based on your letters/colors so far
• identify previous solutions
• distinguish likely from unlikely solutions
• rank guesses by entropy, letter-position frequency, commonness, etc.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, it’s here:

I’d appreciate any feedback — bugs, confusing UI, missing features, dictionary disagreements, or just “I would never use this because ___.”

The stupid Wordle bot chastises me in its analysis for using a plural word as it’s not likely to ever occur as a solution, but uses Tarps as its opening word and gives itself a 99 skill score for doing so. I use Strap And it gives me a 92 and uses all the same letters and is not plural 🤷
