It really is just luck isn't it. Okay there were only 3 places left for each of the two letters from very first guess but to then just guess award with those two letters in from what must be loads of options is nothing but luck.

twas a lovely feeling to see _RICK come up on my second guess after just getting a C in the wrong place for starters. overthought it tho, should have gone with the first word that came to mind, but oh no, i had to sit and ponder over the other possibilities didnt i 😀
i thought its slightly sweary (altho it isnt really) so went for the others first grrrr.

i guess maybe not so much, most are 3 or 4 guesses so quickly scrolled past. it still amazes me tho that some can get it in 2 (done it once myself), and in rare cases 1.
id much rather it showed the actual guesses hidden behind spoilers, so you could see peoples thought processes.

I'd love to know why some people put letters where they're obviously wrong - where they've a green block then next turn they put a different letter in that position! See stevenmenmuir, reluctantjumper, onzadog and hexhamstu for example.

So I tried it for the first time today and got it in three. Assumed this reflected my natural genius and talent with words (do the guardian cryptic from time to time partially and sloooowly), and came on here to post in triumph, only to find... I'll now slink away again.

You can eliminate a lot of letter on your first two guesses. Makes it difficult to solve in 3, but is a safe strategy to ensure you can solve it. For example, if you use IDEAS and GROUT in your first two guesses, you've covered all the vowels plus some very high frequency consonants. Eliminating letters is important too.
@johnners
My yellows went green but I didn't have green to yellow. I might have done in the past but it's more about the letters you don't know than the ones you do.
However, if I don't get much info from the first guess then the second will be all new letters. Today was 3 different words to check 15 letters.
Agree that including the users words behind a spoiler is probably more use/interest to others.

What would be really good, would be if the following day, when the word was no longer in place, the spoiler removed to show the guesses.

Sorry, I must have scanned the thread in haste!
I think I understand the idea behind putting a wilfully wrong guess but to me, putting a word you know for certain is wrong to try and glean another couple of letters just seems a waste.

I'm not sure what it says about me that I managed to guess today's word so easily from having just one letter in the correct position 🤣🤦♂️
Takes one to know one 😉
I think I understand the idea behind putting a wilfully wrong guess but to me, putting a word you know for certain is wrong to try and glean another couple of letters just seems a waste.
Think of it the other way around. You have 5 letters in which to gain more information, limiting that to two or three is wasteful.
You are trading getting new letters against getting the right position for letters you have. I don't think it makes much difference in this, it's far more significant in absurdle, if anyone is playing that.

Eliminating letters, especially vowel sounds, can tell you more about the word than you think.
I now always use AUDIO and then STYLE as my two opening guesses to eliminate all the vowel sound including Y.
Today that identified that the word only contains a single vowel.
Given that it's a vowel sound which is almost never doubled up (like OO or EE commonly are) then that narrows the likely structure of the word to either :
consonant, repeated vowel, consonant, repeated vowel, consonant e.g. RIGID
or two letter phoneme, vowel, two letter phoneme eg STICK
Couldn't be either of those though because I already eliminated S,T and D.
Cor, gets a bit nervy when you're down yo your last guess! 🙂

I did it to be clever and make sure I got it in 3. Upon reflection this wasn't that clever and I should have gone for glory.
I was a bit annoyed with it this morning - I had the word earlier but thought they would not use that word so went for more innocent words. I got Sweardle fast though!

Well, according to one puzzle solver I've just looked at there are 858 possibles if you've got only that second letter so it means you're lucky!

My guesses and thought process below
AUREI to open checking for vowels
STOKE testing the ST as common consonants, plus the last vowel (unlikely with two already in the bag) and the position of the E which was quite likely.
BEIGE testing for a second E and taking a punt on B & G while looking for the I position.
IMINE testing for a second I and its position as well as M & N.
Now I know my
first, third and fourth could be N and long list of what it isn't
Second is I, the only position not tested.
Fifth is E, known for a while.
The I & N could be discrete but if not, IN feels more likely than NI so time for a guess with two new letters.

I've decided to pursue 'pure' wordle which means using the correct word from the previous puzzle as the starting word
Who's with me ? We can smugly look down on everyone else with their vowel strewn playing the percentage words
Also it's like Radcliffe and maconies' 'the chain'
I like that idea.
Four again for me.

ooh i like that. altho itll be a hard ask typing in ABBEY say from the other day knowing that youre already limiting your chances of success with a double letter and a Y.

Took some pondering this morning.
Yep that final guess took me a good 5 mins, with the letters already discarded I thought it was going to be something much more obscure.
I also start with a random word as someone else above, no technique or "magic" words just guesswork, but I do like the idea of "pure wordle" but I have forgotten the previous days word by the time I play again, and don't think I can be bothered noting it down..
Really struggled with today's one! Took all 6 tries to get it.
