Wordle the word game that’s all the craze

[Vtwin]

After three I knew it had to be one or the other. Of course I picked the other, so five it is.

Great, now we'll probably have to pay to play.

Third try today. (Tuesday)

The New York Times says there will no changes? Then why buy it? That is confusing.

Five. Took me about three minutes in-between the third and fourth. Really had to think about it a little.

I anticipate having to watch or at least click past an advertisement to play.

I just got lucky. I guessed the last letter (in order) on the first guess, then all but the first letter (in order) on the second guess, which left me with only one option for the third.

It is written in JavaScript which means by now thousands of people have downloaded it and created their own I am sure.

It really makes no sense to buy it unless they are trying to secure the legal rights to the game concept.

I'm starting to like this little game.


Three tries. Wednesday.

Four.

 

[Sammy]

Three

Thursday - 5 guesses. That final letter took three tries.

Yeah, they know what they’re doing, lol

 

[Vtwin]

Four.
Fortunately I got that last letter quickly. I can see where having everything but that would leave you with many options to guess through.

Been playing for about a couple weeks. It's a good distraction. Third try today.

Fourth try today. Had all the letters by the third, but only the first two in order.

Exactly the same here.

I played this game in college with my roommate, on paper of course because it was 1976. The game then was called Jotto. The way it worked is each of us wrote down a 5 letter word which is the secret word. Then we would take turns to see who could guess the other guy's word first by using 5 letter words as guesses. It is kind of like playing Battleship with letters. So Wordle is not new, although the name of the game might be.

By the way, you can download free versions of the game (called different names of course) that allow you to play again and again. I have been using one called Wordlee for my iPhone which is pretty good. But there are a few others.
