What's your score on Wordle?

ES, you weren’t here for the discussion a while back but wordle got sold by its creator to NYT. And I saved a version of the original to my computer. And I’ve been keeping track of the original answers and documented here already that NYT have excluded some of the original words. These were ‘agora’ and ‘pupal’. Agora was some ancient Greek word and pupal related to the larval stage of insects.

I was outraged that such obscure words were ever included in the original but fortunately the NYT did delete them. More recently they also deleted ‘lynch’ which is understandable and also ‘harry’. Harry is a word I guess but more commonly used in the form ‘harried’. But not much used though.

So anyway, after all my words here, which poor (old and forgetful) MrMen has had to re-live again by reading this, my point is that I think we can assume that all answers will be reasonably common words. I wish though that they’d get a new dictionary. Just today in 290 my friend got these ‘words’ accepted: lumas and attap

I just noticed my previous post has an unnecessary hide, a tired brain can be very interesting :sleeping:

I actually do not agree with removing words because they are too obscure. I really enjoyed not knowing the word and learning from it :slight_smile:

This time, I did know the word :slight_smile: Not a great score, but a score nonetheless.

Today’s wordle was frustrating. It contains one of my pet wordle peeves. I’ll explain once @Bubble has done it for the day.

haven’t played it much, but my score is 227 2/6. Is it considered a good one?

245

Welcome, and interesting, Wordle 227 was on February 1. And looking back through this thread, my score for that day was 2/6 too. Have you played since then? How did you access such an old result? Yes 2/6 is very good. I’m intrigued, you haven’t played much and you posted a two month old result, haha, well hope you keep playing.

And MrMen, I blurred my eyes at your stuff so I wouldn’t get any clues.

246

Haha, MrMen, I remember what your pet wordle peeve is but I assume it was before ES’s time here. I was well and truly aware this was an unusually structured word after my second guess and your peeve was on my radar early on but still struggled with it as there were other things on my radar too. I had the two same yellow letters with nothing new for so long which was super frustrating.

Haha, you have a much healthier attitude to failing than I do.

Don’t want you to get any bad karma, so I’ll say it:
But better than MrMen and me

And ES, is ‘pet peeve’ a new expression for you? Hope you like it. And peeve has five letters so…

I suspect we might have stumbled upon a time traveler :thinking:

I indeed did not know the expression “pet peeve”. I have joined the right thread to improve my English :smiley:

248

This one’s probably a new word to learn for you, ES.

One small mistake (line 3), but otherwise todays wordle is a pot-luck one :

I missed a few, but looked up the answer for 292. I indeed did not know that word, very interesting.

I got a score for today though :slight_smile:

In another two months we might find out, but right now your theory is indeed the most likely solution.

MrMen, did your restore your stats?

254

Did you just copy my last 3 lines? That’s freaky :open_mouth:


No, not yet. And I may not. I’ll just live in the moment. I don’t really care for the stats that much. I’m more interested in getting the word in less than 4 guesses :smiley:

255

This was satifying, and it wasn’t blind luck either :

And hopefully not the last. That’s unfortunate @Bouh, but things can only get better.

258

Welcome Bouh. Yes, haha, it’s only up from here. You didn’t use your yellow letter from line 3 in the guesses after that. This was definitely a tricky one though.

MrMen, that was a huge effort from you, from one green to the answer, that second last letter was certainly unusual.

Always wondered what it would say if you didn’t get it within 6.

I do find this answer even more adoring now:

I got this one quicker than I would normally get bored, this is the good wordle feeling I want everytime.
If only my vocabulary were bigger…

Today’s wordle took me a good 10 minutes of pondering, but it paid dividends in the end.
