I always fuck these things up.

I always start with a different 5 letter word.  Literally the first one that pops in my head.  I don't think I've repeated a starting word in 3 or 4 days. 

Sometimes I get boned (Mon/Tues were not good days as I didn't solve it) and sometimes it works. 

Might need to do that, but have a mental block about not doing an optimal strategy. Same thing about just putting a limit of four guesses on it. Just can't do it since it's not a real limit.

How many guesses did it take your nephew to solve today’s puzzle?

Little bastard got it in 3 attempts.  

I’m a five guess guy.

I can see how the game would get boring if you are using the same starting words every time.  Part of the fun for me is coming up with new first guesses that fit a certain pattern and then coming up with follow on guesses that always use the information revealed by previous guesses.   The brute force method of choosing words just to eliminate/identify letters will always work, but isn’t as much fun to me.  

Dammit! Guessed wrong so one extra try needed.

Not too shabby today. That second guess pretty much guaranteed I wouldn't fail today. I could only think of two words that would've worked at that point.

I am sort of coming around to this point of view, but when I stay at the NARDS MOTEL, my aim is to then get it in the third try. I haven't been all that successful, in part because of the frequent "okay, so maybe there's an I or a U or a sometimesY" uncertainty that often results, but I find it fun when those two give me enough to work with, and less so when I have to give up and begrudgingly take a third broadside attempt.

If you’re not cheating you’re not trying!!

Don't know and don’t care if he’s cheating.

Too bad SECSEC won’t fit. 

I rotate through several first words. Mostly with an A,E, and several common consonants.

I like snake, clean, glean, regal...

Starting to reach my fill of Wordle. It's fun, but between starting with the same word each day and always completing the word each day (I figure my average is around 4.1 tries), it's become a bit of a formula. I figure I've got another week until I'm over it. 

Wordle’s 15 minutes might be about up?

Thanks for posting this. 

I'd disagree with the scoring rubric that the author settled on, however. Needs better weighting - 10/5/1/0 (or something that places a higher value on a green letter versus a black).

Got it in four today. Think I'm out. But I also think there's something to be said about one puzzle a day instead of unlimited. At first I was annoyed as I wanted to do more. For about two weeks, I've enjoyed having something each morning.

So are the words chosen at random you think? Or are there some weird undertones? Couple of them seem to have double meanings if you're a 12 year old boy.

Played for the first and only time yesterday.  Got it on the 3rd try (sorry, didn't copy my little Rubik's Cube of squares).

Decided I probably won't do much better so I'll stop playing for good now.  Fun while it lasted.
