Ffs I was looking forward to doing today's then I clicked on the spoiler above.

I do enjoy this as a little morning brain warm-up but it's hardly rocket science.

I almost always get it in 4, sometimes get lucky and get it in 3.

Would have done this one in a three, but I picked the wrong first letter

Wordle 202 4/6

I didn't get it at all yesterday, because it's been too long since I last played Mastermind and I thought the green and yellow squares both meant that a letter was in the right place, so I ended up with a yellow L in the same place for all six guesses.

Quote from: evilcommiedictator on January 07, 2022, 04:59:12 AMSurely the plan is now to find the first 2/3 words that give you the best coverage of the alphabet and then smash it on the next turn?

Yeah, pick five letter words from "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog". That said, starting your morning with a quick brown may not be too everyone's taste, whether coffee, drugs, or anus stuff.

People tell me I'm clever, but how does that square with me being so absolutely shit at all forms of word games?

Dun it in 3

How do I make the little grid?

ARIEL and SNOUT get you all of the vowels and the most commonly-used consonants, though that's probably a terrible strategy because 5 letter words quite probably have different letter distributions than the language as a whole.

A chemsextrist's second favourite pastime.

I tried it, I see the appeal, I'm just not sure why bother sharing it on twitter at this point.

Inspector Norse

Had a go and got confused by the little hint box showing you the rules so kept trying to start words with W

Just did today's in 3.  Got stuck with the most useless of all the vowels on my third go.  Just randomly picked a very Chris Morris word and it was only bloody correct!

I decided on ATONE as my stock opening word, though today I panicked when all 5 letters were grey and made my second word QUICH, which is not even how that is spelled. 😔

Does it accept words that aren't proper words or did you have to pick something else?

Thursday

You have to pick real words or it won't accept it, yeah.
