Defend The Indefensible: Wordle

I love that about Worldle too - all these tiny island groups and making me realize I generally know where countries are by their name and not their outlines! Like, who knew Guernsey was its own actual thing - I really had no idea except it had cows and sweaters, so I thought it was some chunk of the UK.

I only play Wordle, Tradle, and Poeltl

lol I got Poeltl in 1.

oh, Tradle looks like a fun one!

The thing about Wordle is it appears to be the Rich Man's Word game.

There are much tougher word games that are so conspicuously competitive but all of these assholes posting to social media don't want to be humiliated by people who do something much more difficult.

Difficulty is just one aspect of a game, young padawan

Worldle in 1 today.

Worldle has taught me that I don't know anything about geography and also there are a lot of islands.

But my boyfriend couldn't get Mexico the other day, that was nice. He usually beats me.

Watching "lingo" this week, one young couple were amazing, usually I can guess the word just before they do, but not once was I ahead of them.

Wow. I felt lucky to get it in 3, since there's no way I would've made it my first guess.

When I was studying geography for LL, I made a point of the remembering its shape and arrangement, but even then, I wasn't sure about it today.

After seeing the vowel situation, the right answer was pretty obvious.

Also got Quordle with three guesses left and Octordle with two guesses left. My best -ordle day yet.

well, like I said I went with a different correct word including said vowel (but at a different position) first. it wasn’t totally clear cut

Got the last four, thought I had it sorted, picked the wrong first letter, ugh.

GLYPH?

👍🏻

that was my guess #3, got it on the next one

lol @ today's worldle

I got it!

*Phew*

today's wordle was great

I rest my case

We're just defending the indefensible.

Lol, I tried oomph and glyph before getting nymph. Not many words end that way!

Also lymph

And crypt.

And tryst.

sorry, those are not -PH words.

Ahh, I got stuck in words where Y is the only vowel land. In that case, SYLPH.

Oops, just realized I misread "Worldle" as "Wordle." Carry on.

I got Sunday's in two, happened to set myself up with a good opening word (which gave me the first letter and also eliminated a bunch of vowels). Monday's however, is my least favorite type. I eked it out in 6, but that was still lucky because I was picking from among several possible words at that point. It nearly wrecked my streak!

Dang, I didn't get the wordle today for the first time (broke my streak of 81). It was one of those dumb ones where I had 5 of the letters early on, and was reduced to guessing one of the million words with a different starting letter.

yeah, i had to do a Wordle well breaker (enter a word that contains numerous possible letters to sniff out the last remaining letter that you need) for the first time ever to get today's

got the poeltl on the first guess today

I really should have done that!

Yep, that's what I did. The word I used was HIMBO.

Haha. I was just very convinced it would be WOUND and not FOUND, since they don't tend to use many verbs that are just conjugations. Maybe I'm reading too much logic into the word selection.

There are two different answers today: mine was stove but some others got harry instead.

I was wondering how people were taking so many guesses with just the 4th letter to get

Are some people still on powerlanguage instead of nyt?

Interesting. I can't get to powerlanguage, it redirects.

I think it still works if you've never closed the tab.

Ah, good point!
