4 today after getting none right on first go.
Bet you panicked when that happened
3 attempts for me again, getting good at this lol
4 today, could have been 3, keep picking the wrong final letter.
got it at the final attempt. It was a tough one today
Me too. Got in in last attempt. Phew . Toughest one yet .
took me 4 goes today but got pretty lucky as i had only revealed one letter in the 1st 2 attempts.have played 18 consecutive days and yet to have a fail, or a 6 ..... but that cant continue surely.Its a good game - really addictive and we have a family whatsapp where everyone shares their results each morning. More than just a little bit competitive
Well " Raise" was no help today, my usual starter would have been better, took 5 but got it.
I find looking at the keyboard below the grid really helps with coming up with potential words. It greys out letters that have already been used.
It would also help if you could put the letters in out of sequence so if for example you had the letter E as correct in second position you could put it back in that position before entering the other letters
I write X in as a sort of wildcard to play around with the green letters in place
4 attempts today. Big relief after yesterday
In 4 today also. Seems to be my target score
I have been doing it for a couple of weeks now. Yesterday was hard. Took 6 attempts. Today was a lot easier, did in three. Mainly get in 4. I have got everyone so far but I almost caught out by the one with American spelling last week.
I always feel a bit stupid when finally get the answer right as generally they are common words, doesnt feel like they are aiming to trip you up with a random word
5 attempts today. I read an article that set out a good strategy for doing it so tried to use that and it almost backfired right in my face. Was worried I wasn't going to get it after fourth guess. I found a correct letter in the incorrect place and tried words with it in a different place and got it wrong 3 times so worked out where the letter should have been via process of elimination (already had identified a letter in its correct place so knew it wasn't there)!Guess 1: 1 letter in correct place / 1 in incorrect placeGuess 2: 1 / 0Guess 3: 1 / 3Guess 4: 1 / 1 (urgh was going mad at this point)Guess 5: Correct answer (phew)
I now have a strategy I have hinted at, it seems to work to get a score of 3 or 4, but sometimes if there are lots of similar words with one different letter then it is pot luck and leads to 5 or maybe 6. Do not want to put in words, some do not like spoilers.
There was one quirk about today's word that I had not seen before which nearly caught me out. Once I realised what it was my next guess was the right answer. I won't say what the quirk was for spoiler sake but if you played today I expect you know what I mean.I think yesterday (might be day before that) I got the last four letters right and had to guess twice for first letter as could have been anything.
