I find the pattern/process similarity to be the most remarkable thing about these two.

They have two lists. Valid words and Words-that-can-be-answersYeah, laugh at me, sure, but obviously it's in their word list or it wouldn't have let me play it
And they're actually both fairly small in my opinion. There's like 2000 possible answers and 10000 accepted words.
They are only five-letter words, though, so a much smaller pool than the entire lexicon
No idea how I pulled this one off. Got to Line 3 and just sort of played around with a few word choices, stopping myself when I realized a letter was already greyed out. Stumbled onto thinking of "wrung" and boom. Didn't even use WordHippo this time.

I always start with siren and octal because together they comprise the 10 most commonly used letters in the english language.
I guess that kind of makes even my non-lettered posts here kinda spoilers.

The thing about SALET is that if you don't get greens and yellows, it means you have to make your second word out of R I O C N to get the other 5 of the top 10.
I had to use a scrabble word finder to figure out if there's any word that uses that. Apparently ORCIN is a valid word in scrabble, but I'm not sure I want to spend the turn finding out if it's on the Wordle word list.

That's what Wordl is for.
Once again, I really lucked out on my third guess.
I seem to not have posted my 224 - but it was a 5-guesser.
As far as Wordle gods go... There are rare cases where a 2-line solution is due to skill, but in the vast majority of cases, one or two line guesses are more luck than skill - or pure luck.
Terrible word; also because I tend to forget words like that can be used in English since they are considered adjectives. In my mind it's only the past tense of the verb, which wouldn't be a valid word for Scrabble/boggle/wordle in Dutch.

*whew* That was a close one. I've been playing with self imposed hard rules, and not using optimized starting words, just to see what it takes to lose. Still haven't, yet.
Called it.

There’s a site that has wordle already and you can do several words not just one a day. And you can raise or lower the number of letters. I never mentioned it because half of the popularity of wordle was it was only one word a day and everyone shares that word. It’s a shared experience that made it popular.
Yeah, there's a lot of ways Wordle's set up made it unique. I LIKED that it was only one a day because it made the while thing communal. There are tons of imitators popping up, but I doubt I'll be interested.
Yeah, it wasn't exactly a new concept - Lingo has existed for literal decades.
It's the "one a day, share/compete" nature of it that made it interesting. No doubt I can download a dozen knockoffs - some perhaps with better UI and all that than the original - and do a thousand a day, but why would I?
