Friday Timewaster

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Wed Jan 05, 2022 6:45 pm

Ive played a version of this on Twitch. The streamer hosts the game and the viewers can guess along with words typed in. A round consist of about 12 words with 4 - 12 letters and you figure out letters and which are fake letters and such. Guess all words in a time and a new harder round appears. Its pretty fun and really entertaining for a time waster.

I didn't know you could use letters twice which broke my already poor ability to analyze word patterns.

After the first two, I couldn't even think of a word for the third guess, then I just said screw it and found the same thing LM did. That changes things.

Depressing to only find that one letter in the first two guesses.

Heh, my opening move was

Spoiler:

on one of the first two days I tried. It seemed like on of those jeopardy common letters plays. I changed my tune and tried vowels but then discovered I just don't know that many five letter words with all vowels. So now I just put in the first five letter word that comes to mind.

Today I guess it was

Don't know if it will take it, but try

Not sure how long the puzzles will last - at some point we'll figure out an algorithm that is most efficient for most words.

Wow. That could have sucked, depending on what your first four Nopes were in your first guess.

Wordle is fun but is pretty easy. Wish there was a version that was six or seven letters.

Personal question time...

What's your typical starting word?
I'm guessing a lot of us have a word that we think gets us off to a good start. I randomly settled into using 'PEARL'...two vowels and a few other common letters.

Mine is YEAST, according to the same logic. Has worked out OK so far.

Each day you get a new puzzle. You have 6 guesses to get a 5 letter word. On each guess, you will be told if a letter is not in the word (gray box), in the word but you don't have it in the right spot (yellow box) or in the word and you have it in the right spot (green box). That's it. A fun 10 minute break in the day.
