    My 4th go was a 50/50.  Annoying when it's just a guess.
    :(

    Only a 4/6 today. Struggled for 15 mins trying to make a word on 4th line.

    I did it in 3 today.  I think strategically, or perhaps mathematically, there are ways to play that are better than others.

    I'm finding it more fun to play less obvious starter words, though.  It's a bit of a lottery!

    4 here, but I have to confess to seeking domestic help. With 2 greens in the middle and 1 yellow, I could not come up with any word so after getting nowhere I called in higher powers and my wife solved it in very short order.

    Isn’t this just Yahtzee with letters?  Not played it.

    No.

    I think closer to hangman, without the man or the hanging. Oh, and guessing words to get letters, rather than letters to get words.

    is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?

    Got it in 2 :astonished:  But that's just luck. I've not done that before.

    It's not a competition.

    3. With none in line 1; which sort of helps.

    5 today. Could've been 4 if I guessed the other way around lol.

    5 again, which is becoming my default result... could equally well have been 3 or 4 though, if I'd guessed lucky.

    My wife did it in two, with ZERO letters on the first try. And then I did in two with just one yellow letter on the first go. We need to play the lottery...

    Did it in 2 for the first time ever . Usually I start with a word containing common letters and hope to get some greens . This time I didn’t and managed to get a few yellows which narrowed it down and I guessed right

    5 today.  It was the first time that my opening word gave me 5 greys. Followed by 2 yellows on the second word, I was getting worried!

    Bizarrely, according to www.wordle.at I am not significantly worse at German Wordle than English. :anguished: 

    And that's including weird German grammatical endings. That said, Germans do like a long word, so perhaps the pool of 5-letter words is much smaller than English Wordle?

    I’m just glad it’s 5 letters not 4.
