Default Wordle?
If anyone enjoys word puzzles you might like this game called Wordle. It's kind of similar to a word ladder but you just have to guess a five letter word to start and go from there

I've loved this for the last couple of weeks, but after today's (5/6 - it was a stinker) I decided to quit. Otherwise when would I? When it gets monetised? When the creator takes it offline? When I eventually get bored of it? I try to stay away from things that don't have an end.

Good game though. I know it's far from an original idea for a puzzle, but I guess having just one word a day to give people something to talk about is what makes it special.

There's a strategy in Scrabble of hanging onto letters that make up the word STRAINED - i.e the most common letters in the English language. Therefore my first guess is always a word made from some combination of these letters. (Sorry, my mum used to play Scrabble competitively in a league and she taught me a lot, my head is filled with this nonsense!)

Got today's on the 5th go, it was a bit tricky!

I've been a right egg-brained Norman. Up till now when I've seen people showing their Wordle results, I've thought those coloured squares were the puzzle I thought, how's everyone guessing words from random colours, I don't get it.

Then today I realised what Wordle actually is, and got it on my third guess



Coincidentally also my last Google search.

I've enjoyed it so far, though I weirdly seem to be getting worse each day. I got one of them in two goes early on, which was a massive fluke that I fear I will never repeat.

^ for a moment, I thought they changed the length of the words to that length in the final line

Sometimes that happens to me when I try to edit a post, it doesn't wanna know.

It was 4/6 for me as well today!

One of my favourite words
