WORDLE

[General Specific]

Fun part is that I am part of IT at my work place. So I know exactly who did it.

 

[GasBandit]

Maybe the Wordle fad is winding down, but I'm still really enjoying the heck out of Survivle.

Today's Semantle ticked me off. SO CLOSE. SO CLOSE. Took 90 guesses but I finally got it with no hints.

And yes, I'm an idiot - the "boring" at 49 was to try and sniff out of "plane" scored well because of the airplane or for the meaning of "plain food". Which, as you can tell I noticed by now, isn't written the same way -_-

Yup, had me goignfor a while too. My 17th guess sent me on a wild goose chase all over the place.

 

[evilmike]

I know a Tamarian that would love this.

 

[GasBandit]

The fact that it considers capitalized words to be different from the same words in lower case is a really sticky wicket.

 

[evilmike]

I think I did ok.

The fact that it considers capitalized words to be different from the same words in lower case is a really sticky wicket.

It tries to auto-decapitalize but fails more often than succeeds.

 

[Dave]

First time I tried to play it I was only using 5 letter words.

 

[General Specific]

So, yeah, still doing wordles most workdays. I don't post anymore because no one else seems to care, but I just love how my pattern looks today.

Here's the full words if you want to see

Today's was weird. I was still cold as ice after 40 attempts, and then suddenly I pretty much just chanced on the second-nearest. 43.

 

[jwhouk]

I think Wordle has reached its "caring" point. The NYT picking it up probably didn't help.

 

[General Specific]

Good timing on the creator's part on getting paid and jumping off at the right time.

 

[GasBandit]

Wordle may have fallen out of the zeitgeist, but I'm still enjoying my daily morning Survivle. A nightmare in Wordle is a godsend in Survivle.

Wordle + Dall E Mini

 

[GasBandit]

Ok, I feel like Survivle is trolling me. Specifically targeting me.

[BErt]

OH CMON NOW

 

[General Specific]

OH MY GOD I HATE TODAY'S SO MUCH!

Spoiler: Today's answer within

 

[Bubble181]

Not changing correct letters is self-imposed, though

Not changing correct letters is self-imposed, though

Unless you've got it set to hard mode which forced you to use correct letters.

I got hooked on Redactle recently. It takes a Wikipedia article and redacts virtually all the words, and you have to guess words until you discover what the title of the article is. For example, two days ago it was Southeast Asia. Yesterday it was differential geometry, which took me a long time to get.

Try to find the title of a random Wikipedia article.

You'd have thought, given my field of work, I'd have gotten touchscreen a lot sooner than 94 guesses. Literally every project I'm involved with uses at least one as the central user interface.

 

[Tinwhistler]

I got today's in exactly 60. I spent about 50-ish floundering around, but then hit some words that quickly made it apparent.

Spoiler: thoughts

By my 20th guess, it seemed pretty obvious that it was government related, and I teased out "human rights" pretty quickly, but for some reason didn't think to search "protests" until nearly 30 guesses later. Once I got that, it all started falling into place.

 

[Dave]

I got today’s in 29 and nearly half of those were plurals. I can’t even say I got lucky. I just used clues from the text and guessed a word that was in the article 50+ times.

It’s the first one I’ve ever solved. I usually give up around 100.

[Dave]

Jesus I suck at this. I thought I'd done well.

 

[Bubble181]

49 guesses, 40.82% accuracy.
Once I hit upon the right word it snowballed quickly, but man.
Fun diversion though. But it doesn't play nice on my phone.

 

[Dave]

I did TERRIBLE on today's although once I finally got it I smacked my forehead in consternation.

I did better than I thought I would. I still had no idea what the answer was at around guess 53, then randomly hit upon the answer at 55.
