In case you missed.

It is not like CRANE completely blows other openers out of the water though iirc. I’m pretty happy with my cover-all-vowels double opener.

Pretty happy with today’s Spanish. Didn’t have to use my standard double opener even

Wordle (ES) #195 2/6

It is less about the CRANE, more about the systematic approach based on some serious science.

I play Polish version, I admit to help myself quite often with some fancy grep commands.

The tough one is Chinese Wordle, with 2 boxes and 1000 guesses for the character

Ok that was a joke, but there is an actual Pinyin Wordle

Probably more good luck than good strategy.

I hate it when they plunder zoology. That's rather mean for non-native speakers.

I suggest not trying octordle’s animal challenges then

I was completely defeated by wordle from some few weeks back, when the answer was

I had all but the first letter, and two guesses left. Turns out, there were at least two other accepted words, none of which I've ever heard before

mutch, Kutch

All three seemed like such bull words I had to put the thing aside for a while.

In those cases, I burn a word that has two or more of the possible letters. If one of them hits, you know which letter is correct. Otherwise it's one of the remaining ones.

BTW, I don't burn all of the vowels in the first two words. I have three starting words that have 15 different letters. I wouldn't be able to do that if I used all of the vowels before the third word.

Yeah, I do that when I can see more viable answers than tries left. But, you see, I looked at those four letters, figured there can't be more than one obscure word left possible, and started to plug in each remaining letter to see which one will stick.

Agreed.

I would like to commend them on their wonderful choice. I've never been a WORDLE before

Right now it's 11 pm-ish where I'm at. I already played Wordle this morning and it shows that I've played. I next reset the time zone on my laptop such that it now reads 2 am tomorrow. Wordle offered me tomorrows game. Hence, I strongly suspect Wordle uses the date stamp supplied by your own device.

Yup. I just changed my date to July 8th, as I was out of town that day and missed the game. I checked what the word was and remembered what it was and hence:

Wordle 384 1/6



And, I've now set my clock and calendar back to 'automatic', so no more shenanigans.

You can also play, then clear your cache, then replay. I got this in three moves but by cheating it looks like I got it in one:

No, I did not find a solution for FTL travel. I was only curious.

You can also change your time zone (to where it is already past midnight) to preview play the next game.

See my post above. You can even skip to a day that hasn't arrived anywhere on Earth yet.

Not many options left after the first two guesses I think …

I suspect that would also clear my 'stats'.

Even just switching the time and date a few days ago screwed up my 'Current Streak' count.
Cheating, for me anyways, takes a lot of the fun out of the game.
Though I do use a certain 'cheat site' if I get desperate, so my guess distribution is in fact tainted beyond the 'one try' guess from the other day.

ps.

Zero cheating​

Minor cheating would be to find out how many 'answer' Wordle words are available after each guess.
Major cheating is looking at all those words.

For instance, after my first guess, my cheat site said there were 16 words available.
And after my second guess, there were only 2 words available.

I always check after I complete playing the game to see how well I did.

Yes, I'm sure it would

Quite a number of possibilities today, based on the guesses I made.

You think you can quit? I've heard it a million times

I played for awhile and then wanted to quit, but "just one more!"

To really kick it, download the java script and scroll thru to the list of candidate words. Once you read the list it is easy to quit. I am free.

 

[fresh_42]

I failed. I had the correct letters 2 to 5 with my third word but missed to guess the correct first one. 4 wrong guesses.
