Drat! That was the first word that popped into my mind after two guesses! After some thinking I decided to go for another third guess …

Why does everybody have the comma in the Wordle number while I do not? Is it regional based on the client or platform based? (I am using an iPhone with Safari browser from Sweden)

Good question. I'd expect the English countries to use a period.

BIPM (IIRC the source correctly) recommends the use of a space rather than a comma (used in North America) or a period (used in Europe) to avoid confusion. That may be the reason it was developed that way in the software.

Oh yeah. I got that backwards didn't I?

Now I'm confused. Never mind.

Also known as a fourth guess?

I'm not sure if the UK uses the period or the comma as the separator.

My point was that the software seems to be using a comma for everyone except me ... unless everybody else inserts a comma by hand.

Nah, what would have been my third guess had I followed my gut feeling was the correct. Instead I entered a different word for my third guess and only then entered what I thought of first as the fourth guess.

I had the same issue, only after my first guess. So I had two second guesses, lol

I guess we should not …. Second guess … ourselves

We are not inserting the comma. In fact, I avoid using the comma as a separator because it causes confusion for Europeans (and South Americans if IIRC).

Evidently the software has been modified for use in your region, but not others. It probably goes back to its origins before the NYT buyout.

Ahhh... I see. You had a second third guess, not a fourth guess.
