Is it a Star trek character

I’ve started every day off with the same two guesses.

Is it a good strategy? Probably not.

Will it one day pay off with a solve in 1 or 2 guesses? Also probably not. :joy:

I looked up words that have a lot of vowels in them as starter words!

I’m tending to start with e.g. orate or atone on the basis that they cover lots of common letters, then something with u and i for the second guess. Often those two answers are enough to limit the search space to where I can start guessing.

My first guess is always “Stern”. Don’t know why… just seems like a useful first guess.

I use shear and point to clear some vowels and useful consonants.

Close. More vowels.

I went with 1-scoring scrabble letters, and often start with STORE or STARE to get some commons out of the way.

It has not been tremendously successful so far!

I have not used the same starter twice but having played lots of Hardback is helpful…

They’re getting very fed up with people posting their blobs on the front page of yucata. At least here we have a thread people can mute if they don’t like it.

My starter word is spire. It’s so far doing me no favours.

Is anyone else playing the game of trying to reverse-engineer what other words appear in other people’s grids, or is that just me?

I used spare for my 2/6, but I’m going to switch to stare if I play again.

Wordle 206 3/6

So you get a “magnificent” comment for 2/6, “impressive” for 3/6? Are the comments tied to X/6 at all? If so, I wonder what 1/6 is, (and 4-6/6, I suppose).

There’s definitely “splendid” in there somewhere. Maybe it’s 4/6? I’m going off memory so can’t swear to the placement.

I think there’s definitely room for a subgame of trying to make pixel art within wordle.

…but not by manual arrangement.
