Wordle 1,477 6/6

OK, so I'm not the only one who struggled a little.... That's a comfort.

 

[OmCheeto]

The fact that I was guessing is obvious. Ironically I worked on local farms as a teen doing a lot of this with dried out alfalfa.

Funny. I just got back from my current bff's house where we were discussing 'harvesting'. She's a bit of a 'silver spooner' and I'm sure she only harvested 'for fun' as a child, as her family has owned thousands of acres of farmland in Kansas for generations. Whilst I was the son of an immigrant pauper and told her the worst is harvesting broccoli. I lasted one day.

Btw, the [something][vowel][something][E][R] pattern is so common, it accounts for half of global scores worse than 5.

Funny thing is I didn't know ATRIA was plural of ATRIUM, so without cheating I would have been effed.

I had that same feeling with this one. Or rather the feeling of digging something up from a swamp. I even tried to cheat but my regex-fu just isn't up to the task. Good training though. Although for what I have no idea. Also, perhaps I shouldn't follow it's suggestions quite so slavishly. I mean COOEE (?!), TOTES and NOMEN? What was I thinking there?

Tough one today. Globally, this is the 5th most difficult word since I started keeping track around game #700.
10% of players did not solve it.
Most players solved it in 6 tries.
The average was 5.3
Hint that might help solve the puzzle: According to my ranking system, this was the worst seed word with 5 unique letters.

In hindsight this is pretty stupid but I just realized I can ask ChatGPT to write the regular expressions for me. Duh! It does so without error and explains what it does in details too.

Double duh!

EDIT: Thinking further about it I could probably just have asked it to write the entire program. (Or even just have asked it to solve the Wordle puzzle itself.) Now talk about cheating!

EDIT2: But then again what would be the point?

Too much technology can "take the fun out of things" so to speak or even ruin them entirely. A few years back I posted on this forum using the name edward and we played a game called "name that landmark' where someone would post a photo of a landmark and others would try to search the web and find it. That all ended when google image search became available.

ps. I agree about the technology stuff. All of the techno-wordle crap that I use is of my own invention. To borrow or steal other people's software is just....... wrong.

Todays word is one not on the original list. I consider it an oddball, as I don't even know how to use it in a sentence. I guess that's somewhat reflected in todays global mean: 4.591

Thanks Omcheeto , Along with eliminating letters I looked for an oddball word.

At least you got it! :) The thread is so long no one can blame you for not realizing how much potential for cheating there is. I think we're all a little guilty, but it usually turns out that cheating is more hassle than it's worth. My approach is heuristic (read: guessing), when I'm not vainly trying to cheat with the several thousand lines of C++ I wrote for this singular purpose!

We're a "sad" bunch of nerds but we're having fun (YMMV)!

Oh my god: several thousand lines of C++ to cheat on wordle?! I have to admit, I have quite a lot of respect for that, it's really cool! I swear you can just right click inspect and do a bit of digging to find an entire list of all the wordle words forever hardcoded into the site though? Or did they get rid of that? A friends of mine tried it a while ago, but cheating ruins the fun!!! (Until, you get to the point where you are writing thousands of lines of c++, at which point, trying to figure out how to cheat is the fun)

Don't worry - I have been called a "sad" nerd while having fun enough times to not have that opinion XD

This thread is for all who like the daily Wordle game of the New York Times as much as I do.

The rules:

1) https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html
2) Post your result.
3) Do not spoil the answer.

Used a pretty nifty system to get the answer (if requested I will make a thread on it, pro tip start off with "ADIEU" as it covers 1 consonant and 4 vowels)
