I enjoy the game a lot. It is a fun 2-3 minutes. Think, drove and plums will test 15 of 26 letters in the first 3 tries. Crane is supposedly the best first word guess however. Once played, you can employ the Wordlebot, also on the nytimes site, to see a critique of your choices.

If you have not become addicted to this daily word game, you really should give it a try. I find it very challenging, and it makes me concentrate once a day. I highly recommend you look at it. Just google Wordle at New York Times. It’s free and fun. Let us know what you think.


Sorry, I have a life.

In addition I am always reluctant to pursue or investigate unsolicited endorsements or ads.

Wow, not sure I'd want a life that didn't allow literally 2 or 3 minutes for an enjoyable distraction. And when it's hosted on the NY Times site and mentioned by so many here is it really the same as something unsolicited?

Both my husband and I love playing wordle, although I do admit that I do NOT find it easy at all

Forgiefe mec, but I didn't know they still taught old English. Hope they don't start using it in Wordle!


All the English I teach nowadays is old!

I play it but I'm not addicted. It's hard to become addicted when there is only one puzzle per day.

I would be interested in seeing what everyone's favorite opening word is. Mine is "stare".

I play it daily (sometimes twice a day). My opening words are AUDIO and PESTY. They cover all the vowels and several helpful consonants. I occasionally even guess the word in the 3rd line (after the 2 test words).,

My only complaint with Wordle is that sometimes you have more valid words to try than you have guesses. For example, in three guesses I found that the last 4 letters are "atch" with only 3 guesses left. In "hard mode" you must use all the letters you have found in each subsequent guess. So what is the answer batch, catch, hatch, latch, match, patch, watch...
You use the next guess with a word that has as many of the possible letters in it as possible. It will reveal which ones are in use and which are not.

Before they eliminated the archive, I had played all 200+ and only missed 11.

Instead of trying the next letter that will go with what you already have, try a new word using as many of your "unused" letters if you can. My opening words are CLONE, TRASH and IMPLY (explained elsewhere in my comments) which I follow with words like FEUDS or BUDGE to narrow down later guesses.


I do that except when I am in "Hard Mode". In that mode you must use all the letters that you have previously found in each subsequent guess.

I tried it but found little enjoyment. I enjoy being out in my yard growing things.

Today's got me confused. I had all 5 letters right but 4 in wrong position. Took me all the tries to get it right. I seem to have a mental block about words starting with a vowel.

Yes, we play it every day and compare results. We also do the Spelling Bee in the NYT. But, as others have noted, it does become addictive.
