not bad considering 4 is the most the creator thinks is possible!

no spoilers but one of the things with Wordle is that I often forget American words are spelled differently to their British version, today I almost lost my streak because I nearly didn't realise that

What was your word choice, harbl? I can't reduce Absurdle past 7

I actually tried the example given on the Absurdle to get to 4 but it didnβt work with the current word list I think.

Took some trial and error, I can get 6 fairly reliably. Put Y in the first guess so it doesn't appear in the result, gets rid of words ending double letter Y e.g. JAZZY. Getting S out of the way also helpful, and as many other high frequency letters as you can.

Iβve managed to get in five or six attempts pretty regularly on Absurdle - still trying to get that elusive four. Anyone else has managed?
― Roz, Friday, 14 January 2022 10:56 (two years ago) link
Lots of fives but no fours - weirdly the one mention in the notes (aiery/canst/dolma/offal) doesn't work, laugh/lauch/pupal are all possible after that.
― two sleeps till brooklyn (ledge), Friday, 14 January 2022 11:20 (two years ago) link
But if you guess pupal it gives you the win, instead of carrying on with laugh/lauch and giving a grey for the Ps and a yellow for the U.
― two sleeps till brooklyn (ledge), Friday, 14 January 2022 11:24 (two years ago) link
sorry, not lauch (whatever that is), the c is not available. laugh still works though.
― two sleeps till brooklyn (ledge), Friday, 14 January 2022 11:33 (two years ago) link
it has been pointed out to me that 'laugh' is not available at that point as 'a' in second place has already been ruled out.
― two sleeps till brooklyn (ledge), Friday, 14 January 2022 15:11 (two years ago) link
Your point still stands: that the example given on the website does not work.

there are bugs, seems like they're wiki related. hoping they clean it up if there's enough interest!

peaked at 23, really gotta walk away, all the dumbass things make my blood boil more than this mild diversion is worth it. one i don't think we've vented about is the arbitrary and silly dates when various art movements and historical periods "ended." also mannn there are a lot of Nazi military officers in this thing. can't recall ever getting any of their Allied equivalents even.
