Wordle 213

⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛
⬛⬛
⬛⬛
⬛⬛
⬛⬛


Ye gads, first sixer. I couldn't even come up with any other words that started with those three letters... had to stare at my keyboard long and hard for even the fifth, which I don't think is even a word.

How dare you pin the sixer on Iduno!   :P  Especially given your signature LOL

Jokes aside, some days simply have obscure words.  Most of us barely know the 212 word from a specific piece of fiction, as you pointed out yesterday.  Today's word is only used in tech and some bureau lingo, to my knowledge.  Some days, you lose, and other days, the others win.  :)

Sorry about that Iduno; I've been quoting you as a template for your really nicely formatted blocks and forgot to remove them this time. (Also, are you forming them by hand, or are they automatically generated somehow?) :o

I actually use the word on a fairly regular basis, but it just took forever to click. And by forever, I came up with the fifth quasi-word, and had to resort to methodically trying every combo of remaining letters until I worked my way down, saw my next 4th letter, and the 5th one mentally slammed into place.

Yeah, I'm still holding out hope against hope that I'll somehow get my attribution fixed. I don't think it ever will be.  >:(

When you finish the puzzle of the day (or click on the "statistics" icon that looks like a sky-line or a bar-chart), then you get a big colourful "SHARE" button which puts the entire thing into your clipboard.  After clicking the Share button, simply paste the text (ctrl + v) and there you go.

Oooo, handy. I'm used to that button trying to directly interface with other stuff and causing a mess so I've been avoiding it.

Once the puzzle is solved or failed, the option to share is in the lower right corner. It gives the puzzle number, and the nice spoiler-free guess pattern.

I led off with the same word. Actually had a lot of trouble coming up with 5 letter words with that ending, but then it still took me three trys!

I had the same issue today. Getting the last letter right is way less useful than the first letter.

Decided to get in on this - was reasonably happy with my first try:

Wordle 215 4/6

⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩
⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩
⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

With just the single correct letter mocking me for two tries, it became increasingly tough to think of words that didn't repeat known bad letters.

Wordle 216 3/6

I thought for a moment I might get this on my second try, but 4/5 meant I was guaranteed to get it on the third go isntead.

No matter how well/badly I do, this is the way I feel on about half of the puzzles.


Even though each guess got me more information today/tonight.
