No cheating obviously. Some pretty stupid guesses though.

Wordle 1,488 4/6






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

Me thinks you're exaggerating:

Competing with you guys makes feel me nervy and on edge!

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

[TensorCalculus]

Didn't know this word existed (like I just realised this thread existed), but oh well, I got it in the end:

Wordle 1,488 5/6

Wordle 1,489 4/6

AROSE 16 left
TONAL 2 left, Orodruin method
VOCAL 1 left, Coin flip

 

[sbrothy]

No cheating, but I think I nailed it:

On a new phone. Haven’t figured out how to take screenshots yet… I’ll post it later….

EDIT: It's later now and I'm home:

EDIT2: Isn't it kind of demoralizing that a foreigner sometimes beat you?
EDIT3: Without using any tools or help at all?! Not even a coin flip!

I had to save the honor of the tool guys:

[ARISE] 54 left

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)

I tend to use crane, pilot, mushy but I do mix it up sometimes just because the same thing every day gets a bit boring :)

I hear ya. I don’t participate everyday. (Especially not on the days where I fail completely )

But coin flipping is exactly how you beat us! I found it fascinating that it happens so often. Didn't I post a while back how often? I believe is was about 20% of the time.

Yeah well, I was of course joking. OTOH sometimes I make some completely scatterbrained guesses only a non-native speaker would make, so I think it more or less averages out in the end.

EDIT: And my written English may look pretty but if you heard my Danglish, acccentuating the wrong syllables of common words, you'd probably cringe.

EDIT2: Hah. I like this one:

"Can I borrow the toilet?" ("May I use the toilet?")

Not showing your work when you are failing? Wouldn't that fall under the "cheating" category?

 

[sbrothy]

Well, ouch, yeah. Then again you never know when I'm being sarcastic.

Made a stupid in guess #2, but I'm still pretty satisfied with the result:

Wordle 1.490 4/6*

Spoiler

EDIT: Although I admit I had to look up LORIS after I successfully guessed it. It couldn't be much else though. Not with my "limited" vocabulary.

 

[OmCheeto]

Wordle 1,490 4/6

PARSE 3 left + 6 previous = 9 total. Wordlebot says there are 13.
TORUS 0 left + 0 previous = 0 total. Wordlebot says there is 1.
The long list has 38 to choose from.
WORKS 0 left. 35 left on the long list. I start sweating....
Phew!

EDIT: Although I admit I had to look up LORIS after I successfully guessed it. It couldn't be much else though. Not with my "limited" vocabulary.

I had to look it up also. Mainly I think because I mixed it up with Dr. Seuss's Lorax.
If you were to put 'slow' in front of it, I would have recognized it. Odd how my brain works sometimes.

ps. Not sure if anyone else noticed, but Wordlebot switched back to using SLATE as its seed word yesterday. It had been using CRANE for quite some time.
