Wordle 226 2/6*

--W-- BBBBB

I think Rezzy and I thought alike today!

Heh, because I can see it as a word that people use for their starting choice.

Maybe I should have said more people than usual get it in one.

today’s was a little frustrating…

Daily operations of Wordle have been taken over for a sum “in the low seven figures”. The dev will ensure that people’s streaks remain in play, and the game will be part of the NYT’s stable of word games. It will “initially” remain free to play.

I’m happy for the dude and his fiancee (wife now?) but… I hope it does not get permanently paywalled.

I believe the only thing paywalled behind the NYT Games subscription is the crossword.

Why are people expressing letters in terms of W and Bs? Is it a color thing? The letters show up as yellow and green for me.

There's probably a dark reason for that.

Throw back to the old Mastermind game. My copy used black and white pegs.

Wild times this morning. Guess #3 was just a process-of-elimination thing, but I still felt very lucky to get it there.

Not sure why I guessed the word I did on attempt 3 as it's more obscure than the answer using a rarely used letter.

Spoiler:

If it's the same word I guessed (and I can't think of any other alternative at the moment), I'm sure I used it because I've listened to too much Idle Thumbs.

My first word was subjectively similar.

Based upon how you seem to be playing, you should switch to hard mode for your coveted star!

Hard mode just means not using letters that are confirmed to not be in the word?

I'm pretty sure every clue needs to be used.. so if you know there's a green 'E' in the last spot, every subsequent guess word must have an E in the last spot. If you know there's a yellow R, every subsequent word must use an 'R'. Basically prevents someone from using the same two words as your starting words every time since you must use the information given.

This.

Having fun while it lasts.
