Note: I previously posted a version of this msg in the "CPK - Random Thought" thread but thought it would get better exposure here.
------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone else here playing (or interested in playing) "Wordle" online? See: Wordle - A Daily Word Game.
It's free; no registration required. I started playing it about a week ago.
Note: There is a phone app called "Wordle" BUT it is NOT the game I'm and others are talking about. It's a PNP game that people have mistakenly downloaded and paid for thinking that it is the game everyone is talking about. It's NOT. Wordle is only available online and is FREE!
Wordle is a variation on "Hangman." You have to "guess" a 5 letter word in 6 tries or less. I've come close to getting stumped but haven't missed a word yet. I've been averaging 4 tries for each word; low of 3 and high of 6.
My 1st 2 tries are devoted to using 2 words that contain all of the vowels and some commonly used consonants. So, unless the mystery word is one of the words used in the 1st 2 tries, I can never guess word in less than 3 tries.
If you need more information, there are a lot of articles online providing "tips" on how to play the game.
-----------------------------------------
There is only 1 new word puzzle a day -- the same word for everyone -- and you can "share" your results w/others w/o giving away the word by posting your results for the day which looks like this.
Wordle 215 4/6
The WHITE boxes mean that none of the letters used is in the word. GREEN boxes mean that the letter is in the word and is in the correct position. And the YELLOW box means that the letter is in the word but not in the correct position.
Sometimes, a letter can be used more than once, which makes guessing the word a bit more difficult.
-----------------------------------------
Sharing Wordle results with "friends" or "followers" in social media is currently very popular. Feel free to do so, as you please, BUT it is NOT necessary or expected here.
I'm simply making some info available about the game for those who are already (or may be interested in) playing it.
-----------------------------------------
The online program only allows you to play the game offered each day as it occurs; you cannot play past games on the primary game site.
However, there is another website that will allow you to play past games going back to June 20, 2021. See: Wordle Archive
This program will record your results and do a running tally of the % of games that you have played BUT, in order to save this info, you will have to allow cookies to be saved in your browser. I do not permit this in my primary browser but I have a secondary browser that I use which I permit to save cookies.
I have begun playing 2 games a day working forwards and backwards and, at this rate, it'll take me about 6 months to "catch up" and play all of the games past/present.
-----------------------------------------
Lastly, if you get "stuck" there are certain websites that will provide the answers to every day's game.
In fact, I found one website that claims to list EVERY answer for Wordle from June 19, 2021 thru October 20, 2027, when it is said the game will end. I assume this is because there are only a limited # of 5 letter words available in the English language and the 2315 word list on this website apparently covers all (or almost all) of them.
Note: While this list begins on June 19, 2021, the Wordle Archive only goes back to June 20, 2021. I do not know the reason for this discrepancy. I also do not know how they acquired the entire of list of words but so far the list has been accurate.
If you get "stumped," you can resort to using this list to "find" the answer BUT please refrain from using the list to "spoil" the game for others.
