My fourth guess had to use a letter I'd already eliminated, because it was the only way to use the 2 letters I had in a new location (3 guesses got me 2 yellows, 4th guess got me a 3rd yellow) without using other letters I'd already eliminated. No clue what I'm doing with my other 2 guesses. Trying to find 2 consonants that go together without any of the consonants that go in pairs.

Some guesses so far that the game didn't like just because they aren't words, or even close to being words:

It's not like I can just rearrange those to make a word I can even guess. I gave up and just retyped the same word 2 more times. I don't think I'd ever have come up with today's word.

Wordle 208 X/6*

Wordle is a game of luck in the end. You pick a set of 2 or three optimal words for common consonants plus vowels and then you hope to get lucky. Having a top tier vocabulary and pattern matching helps but most of the hard work is done by a proper 2-3 word baseline.

Wordtris is one of my favorites.  Within the past couple of months I went out and bought an SNES cart of it, out of nostalgia.

There are versions for DOS, SNES and Game Boy.  It's never been re-released for whatever reason.

One of the men who worked on this game is Armen Sarkissian, who is currently the president of Armenia.

One of my friends, who isn't even a native English speaker, got 208 on her 5th guess. Whereas I got 2 greens by my fourth and just decided to move on.

I had to make a few bad guesses (use letters that wouldn't work, or work in those spots) to get enough information to recognize the word.

Also, there's a version with in-app purchases now, that someone made by just ripping off the (non-trademarked) name and look of.

I added at least one letter per guess. That's always a good way to win.

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.

Edit: Fixed a misattribution to Iduno, caught by Mobbstar thanks!
