Today was quite tricky, actually. It took me 5 guesses

Spoiler

my 4th being DRINK, so almost there.

Ditto to this exact experience. It was a little frustrating.

The current one,371, I got in 3 guesses and was pleased with how I arrived at it.

[Mouth for war]

took me 5 tries today! Was getting nervous

Got it on my second try today - and such an important word 

[Stupot]

Today’s was a bitch. Just scraped through:

Wordle 375 6/6*

⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛
⬛⬛⬛🟨⬛
⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛
🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛
🟩🟩⬛⬛🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Spoiler

⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ RUINS (because I’d just watched ‘The Ruins’ and it contains two vowels)
⬛⬛⬛🟨⬛ BLOAT (because it was the first word to mind that contains different vowels)
⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ CHAFE (because it contains an A and the last vowel, E. No luck)
🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛ GAMMA (I had become convinced the word would have two As. I was wrong)
🟩🟩⬛⬛🟩 GAPPY (I nearly went for GAWKY here but talked myself out of it as it’s not a common word)
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GAWKY (I was about ready to accept defeat but it was the only word left I could think of, and it worked)

[Mouth for war]

got it on my last try! Never heard that word before

[cat]

Woah, that was a weird word today. I got 3 yellow letters on my first try, but it took 4 tries to fix even one of them. Finally got it on my 6th.

Spoiler

STARE, TREND, CUTER, REMIT, HERTZ, BERTH

[Mouth for war]

2:nd try today!

[Stupot]

2:nd try today!

was that #389? I also got #389 in two shots.

I’ve been getting a lot of 3’s recently too, but I spoiled it today (#390) with a 6.

Still, my streak is currently 90, so I’ll be aiming for that big 100.

[Stupot]

Got my 100 streak!



The average score from those 100 is 3.97.

That 101 is from back when I accidentally cleared my cache and then messed up the first game after doing that.

[Mouth for war]

Nice!

[Stupot]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I missed out a few days because I was on vacation but today I got it on second 

[cat]

English is so weird. Today's Quordle had the following two solutions

TOUGH and DOUGH

which are spelled almost the same but have a completely different pronunciation.

third try today!

This is the second time this has happened to me in the space of a few days. I’ve been having a bit of a nightmare. Gone are the glory days.

[Snarky]

Commiserations. I just played it and also struck out.

Spoiler

PARER is a bullshit word, anyway.

I haven't really enjoyed Wordle since I switched to hard mode and NYT made Worldebot subscriber-only, and I haven't been playing regularly. I still feel that in hard mode the element of strategy is almost gone, and there's little to do but just type in the first word you think of that fits. Like today, what's the difference between you getting it in 4 or not at all except luck?

Quordle is fun, though. I'm still trying to get a game in 5.

Over at https://wordfeud.aasmul.net/Default.aspx , the home of wordfeud league of honor and several spin-off leagues (mostly quiz games, but also chess and yatzy and others), there's now recently established a league in a Wordle-like game. I'm currently playing in the Norwegian and the English league.

It's called Ordlek (literally "word-game"), presumably to avoid trademark infringement. The way it goes, is that I go to my table page, then click a link to open up a wordle-like game. I play it and get points according to how many attempts I had to use to solve it. Now, my opponent in the match can also play the same game with the same solution. When both have played, I can see the opponents attempts, and the result is entered into the table automatically. If you do not play in the allotted time (I think two or three days), you will be scored a zero in that match.

In other words, instead of one solution per day, like in NYC wordle, there is one solution per match. The words are drawn from the most commonly used words in their forum, in addition to five-letter words available in the Wordfeud dictionary (which is basically Scrabble on a cell phone app, if you've never heard of it). A season lasts 14 days, and I get about 10-12 opponents a season. It's still in the early stages, so there's bound to be some bugs. If you want try solving a puzzle for fun, go to the site, then to the Ordlek English table, and click on the link underneath to go to the match. As you aren't signed up, you will get to train and solve wordle puzzles without an opponent.

I tried a quick game and the solution (which I could only find with a helper tool) was "JOHNS" - which seems to be only a name and not a real word. On the other hand, it didn't recognize "JOINS" as word.

Could be a bug, of course. It definitely should recognize "joins". "Johns" could be plural form of "John", which could mean a toilet or a prostitute customer, and possibly other things I don't know.
