Stupid Human Tricks now the Wordle Thread

Great start.
2 Uselesses.
3 good guesses.

Wordle 715 X/6

Holy Moly!

That had to have broken multiple records of something!

Wordle 715 4/6






< 1 minute
220-240

Silver lining: Even without the Uselesses at best I would have made the same 3 good, and wrong, guesses. So, I MIGHT have managed 5/6 and never would have matched < 1 minute . Otoh, losing 2 points again sucks.

Curse of 3 yellows again. Most of my time was spent getting from 2/6 to 3/6. 7 minutes.

I didn't stand a chance. No greens until 5/6 and Uselessed on 3/6 and 4/6.

How can wordlebot tell me there's one solution left and this wasn't it?

There was only one possible solution left — and this wasn’t it. (ENVOI is a valid guess, but it’s unlikely to be a solution based on what I’ve learned from playing Wordle.) But there’s still only one solution remaining. You should solve the puzzle on your next turn.

Spoiler:

Wordlebot does seem to be contradicting itself. Maybe it considers ENVOI to be so very unlikely as to not count? It never would have occurred to me that it's a legit alternate spelling for envoy.

My 3 yellows were the vowels. With the letters I'd ruled out, including the O, it might be that my 3/6, EQUIP, and the solution were the only possible solutions remaining. Took me long enough to figure that out.

2, 3, 4, 5 and 6/6 were all fine guesses, nothing obscure or unWordlelike.

That was incredibly unlucky. You had guessed all the other possibilities.

Yeah, what are the odds of making 4 wrong guesses, 2 of them even WoF letters? 3 losers in 4 games sure puts me in the hole fast, and only this one wasn't my own stupidity.

Surprisingly, not too many options.

With two words to pick from, the best strategy is to guess whichever one you think is most likely. Unfortunately, CHAIN wasn’t the right answer this time, but it’s exactly what I would’ve guessed in this situation. And you’ve narrowed it down to one possible solution. You should solve the puzzle on your next turn.

I went through SLAIN, DRAIN and CHAIN, all fine guesses , then got AGAIN (phew) and still had AMAIN in my pocket.

Good vocabulary, I'd never heard of the word. 2% of wordle players thought it was a good pick also after CHAIN.

Spoiler:

I'm guessing that you're referring to AMAIN. With so many vowels it's popular in crosswords.
