Oh, that's annoying.

Playing Quordle on practice, I thought to warn you all about MYRRH. Not easy to guess unless you're on the lookout.

Incidentally, I just started playing Redactle. It's more like 20 questions than Wordle, but still a diverting game.

cat · Sat 03/06/2023 20:56:47

Wow, I just tried Redactle, but this is super difficult.

Spoiler

I was able to figure out it's about a Spanish guy, but I can't even guess his profession.

Edit: I played around with randomly generated Redactles and failed a few, but was proud that I solved Capacitor in 43 guesses.

Snarky · Sun 04/06/2023 07:28:02

I think it was Ponce de Leon (I got as far as a Spanish explorer in Florida), but I didn't remember his name before the puzzle changed. I was quite pleased to work out Peter Abelard on the previous quiz in not too many guesses. Today's took me ages (and 147 guesses) to work out, though.

cat · Sun 04/06/2023 08:46:50

Never heard of Ponce de Leon. That's the disadvantage with this game, if you don't know a person, you will never figure out the name, even if you guess the rest of the article correctly.

Today was fun, got it in 63 guesses

Spoiler

Though after 41 steam, 50 transport and 51 rail, it still took some time to figure it out. I was probably thinking in too complicate terms

Hydroelectricity - I'm still surprised that I spelled it correctly.
I often start guessing with the word "water". water, chemical, level, plant, power

Yes but barely. I go days without remembering to play.

Snarky · Sat 23/09/2023 09:06:54

Yeah, most days. I haven't got it in 2 in forever, probably not since I last posted it here. (Though the other day I was very close: I think the word was STONE and I stupidly guessed STONY on the second.)

I play Quordle more, and recently got into Octordle. I particularly like Octordle "rescue" mode: it starts off with a few rows pre-filled with random guesses.
