Do you WORDLE?

[BMI]

Thanks for the heads up @stracci2000!
Greedy media! I don't fault the developer at all for taking them up on their offer though.
I'll probably stop playing it even if it remains free as it won't have the same feel good vibe for me.
Heading over to the archive right now to work my way through before it disappears.

I can just see them all now, sitting around a conference table, rubbing their hands together with dollar signs in their eyes!
"Haha.....now that they're all addicted to this game, we'll force them to pay! Bwaaaahaa.....!
Disgusting money grabbers.

I will be searching the web for truly free alternatives. I refuse to pay for this game!

I might have been willing to pay the developer to play, but definitely not willing to pay the NYT

The only thing I pay for is my subscription to National Geographic.
I don't pay for cable tv, either.

Hopefully “for now” is a lot longer than any of us expect, kinda like Covid.

This is my very first 6 game. I have to remember that the words aren’t as difficult as I am trying to make them!

Are we sure that the archive is owned by the same person as the daily version? the web address isn't similar. If not, maybe the archive will not disappear, "for now". I'm only on 17 in the archive. I think I have to quit my job to get through them all!

So near and yet… so far!

Looks exactly like mine...too many word choices even with 4 letters right...and of course I picked the wrong ones

'The New York Times' buys Wordle

The Times acquired the simple word guessing game for an undisclosed price in the low-seven figures. The paper already maintains its own set of games.

I’m glad the creator found a good platform for his game, and that he was able to profit from the it. “Low seven figures” - over a million dollars for his humble little phenomenon! I’m grateful for the game every time my brother sends me his completed game, opening a chance for a little “chat.”

 

[Lookinagain]

Lucky first word choice made it pretty easy

 

[lulu_ma]

Impressive @Lookinagain

Me, not so much

I will continue to play for as long I can while it’s free!

Grrr

I really should have gotten today's in two. I just had to get fancy and think it was being tricky.

 

[VRBeauty]

My brother sent me this this morning:



I don’t intend to be competitive with my little brother, but I don’t want to be bested by him either - LOL! Anyhow, I decided to work a little crossword puzzle that had stumped me last night, and its answers included a five-letter word that I decided to use as my Wordle opener today, and then this happened…!

 

[BMI]

I got lucky with my second word choice today.

Who else uses the same starter word?

Who else uses the same starter word?

DK

I change mine depending on my mood, and also depending on what the winning word was from the day before. I assume the next day’s word won’t start with the same letter, for example.

I was sure my second guess was it! Bummer!

 

[Lookinagain]

Who else uses the same starter word?

DK

I don't. I use a five letter word that pops into my mind, but generally only if it has two vowels. I don't know why. And I don't know if it's a good way to do it. But it's funny, when I get the word in two or even three, I almost have mixed feelings since then it's done. I enjoy playing longer than two or three minutes.

 

[lilmosun]

DK

I have a handful of starting words - all with three vowels.

[/QUOTE]

THIS! I took all 6 tries today bc I was trying all these weird words. I was certain it was going to be “thyme”. Wrong!! Haha. It’s fun but it’s no jumble! Those are tough.

I always use “adieu” bc of the vowels

 

[Lookinagain]

That's a good one if you want to knock out the unused vowels. I'll try it.

 

[SparklieBug]

I used to wait until night time to Wordle, but now I do it in the morning...because I can't stand the suspense of waiting 'til the end of the day! LOL!

Today's was so much fun! I got lucky, and then had it in three tries.

 

[PinkAndBlueBling]

I can never remember my starter words. I just try to do the "RSTLNE" like Wheel of Fortune and preferably a word with two vowels. Today :



The other day had me pulling my hair out! It was one of those "same four letters" words like light/night/right/fight/might/sight/tight/wight. Ugh.

 

[dk168]

I use AUDIO also because of the vowels.

[lulu_ma]

Tried a different start word this morning. Got my first legit (aka non-archival) 2.

 

[junebug17]

Had better lucky today with my first word
