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.

Worldle in 1 today.

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

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!

Appears NYT fucked up again by deciding to remove a word (the name one) but people whose browsers hadn't refreshed still got it.

what? is it prejudiced against harolds?

Oh man so this is the influence of that spelling bee puzzle that decides words aren’t words anymore even tho they are definitely words

Hats off to Sam.

I regret to inform you that we as a society have crossed the --ordle rubicon. https://t.co/tIxYZSbM6X

I decided to try Quordle and over the course of a week I've learned like 7 new words

Feel like as it gets higher than Quordle it gets easier but maybe more tedious.

once you get like 12+ guesses it's just a game of word scramble

Yup

Sure, it's a word, but it's not a very good word to use as the correct answer for a word-guessing game. Although if they also removed it from the list of guessable words, that would be dumb.

I can't get to wordle using Chrome, only Safari

for me today it was the fourth letter - stole, stoke, stone, stove, store - those words with multiple one-letter substitutions are where I fail

see above for “well breaker” (?) advice
