Fun challenge - Wordl word game

[razz]

Recently, I was made aware of this game. There is a new word every day and we have to figure out what it is in 6 tries or less. Quick and fun game. First time I needed the 6 tries but the last two days I have succeeded in 2 tries.

Had to figure rules… first time … 4 tries.

Thanks!

Love these kinds of puzzles! First try - 4 tries.

[lmerullo]

Cool - four tries, also!

Thanks, Razz, that's fun. I am rule-challenged, but getting there.

I had to look up a how-to the first time, I confess.

Some hints
- if it isn't a real word and you hit enter, it won't be accepted.
- today, it took 5 tries but I discovered that you can use a yellow letter twice. I was struggling after getting it right in two tries the past two days.

I found a how to video now just need to make time to watch it. Also am going to tell my husband and his sister about this, they love that kind of game.

[Tybee]

Okay, just showed husband and he is already hooked.

So, how do you access a word a day? The link above does not do that? Downloaded app and have to do 4 letters…. is this the same?

[razz]

I didn't know that there was an app. I go to the website each day to play. There probably is a shortcut but I haven't found it yet. Someone wiser than me may find it and share.

[frugal-one]

What is the website? Your link above does not work to change to a different day???

[razz]

I just tried using that link and it took me to new word site except now I have to wait for 10 hours for the new word since the UK is in a different time zone. I don't know what else to suggest but sorry that you are having a challenge. It only has one new word per 24 hours, I believe.

My husband found some link where you could play old ones, so I will ask him about it and share if I can find it.
I think I am better off with one a day because it's completely addictive.

That makes sense if originating from the UK.

This is bigger than I thought! Sunday Morning had a segment on this word game. Apparently it is the newest "craze" out there.

I played it once it was kind of fun!

I've added it to my word game rotation. You can never have too many.

The NY Times has reportedly bought Wordle; it has moved to a new link. Interestingly, all my great successes recorded so far have been deleted so started again. https://www.dailywordle.com/

I was amused to see an Atlantic column devoted to it.https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2022/01/how-a-crossword-creator-plays-wordle/621389/

Thanks, Razz and Jane.

I've decided that I can. I played it one time to see what it was like, then decided I didn't want one more game. I spend too much time on my phone as it is. But, y'all enjoy.
