I got todays puzzle on the 5th try. But it took me probably 10 minutes to come up with anything that would fit for that 5th try. A very simple game where it gets surprisingly tough to think up real words that will fit. For today's puzzle it probably helps that I like the Beatles and Beer. Here's a link to a UK version. www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/

Never played Wordle before, so thank you orioles70! I got today's word in four. I can see I'm going to be a fan from now on.

I'm still tussling with it with one to go, have three letters in the right place but can't think of anything that fits using letters that are left

I thought I might actually beat vlogdance 's impressive feat of finding today's word in less than 4 tries. But no, although I got close very quickly I couldn't find the word in six tries. I did figure out a loophole to avoid total failure. Wordle only gives you six guesses. But if you need more, just open up the puzzle in a new browser and start where you left off. so today, it took me 7 tries

I've had three goes in the past week or so. The first time I got it in about five tries, the second in about three and today five. I don't think I know enough five letter words to do the game every day.

Got it on six today, I thought it might be Tandy but it wouldn’t accept that.

I found out today's answer by mistake when I went on to see what yesterday's was. So I went and put it in and got a Genius score - result! It is very addictive though

Managed it in three today, I think I've peaked and things will go downhill rapidly from here

Do you usually start with the same word? I tend to go for Opera or Ouija and have done better since using them

I usually start with a word that contains the letters most commonly used in English, like E, T, S, A, then put in another 'wild card' letter just for a change.
Just my luck if tomorrow's is WOOZY.... or Woody!

Yep, I've taken to starting my guesses with "LEAST" - 2 most common vowels and 3 of the most common consonants. Plus, the whole point is to guess it in the LEAST number of tries
