Wordle

Boom

Lol. That’s exactly what’s going on in my household. It’s infuriating.

That was a big lol

Also, I’ve been wondering, can you get to know what a Wordle word is? Or is every five letter word a solution? We’ve established US spelling is involved, but, for example, will ‘plonk’ be an answer one day? Are plurals allowed? It feels like the wild west.

I reckon there should be plenty utilising "ea" in second and third spots too...

My 2nd guess had only 1 vowel and my 3rd was a very random quick guess. In my vain mind I believe I could have had it in 3 or 4 tries... Rethink strategies? More like use strategies. And have a coffee before going to wordle ffs

Yes - very irritating!

I would think any five letter word in the English language is legit. They must have a wordlist that they have created or licensed that regulates viable words. Of course not all dictionaries or wordlists will have the same set of five letter words. At a guess they probably access the Merriam Webster api. Plurals are playable. Having said all that, I can’t see the plural c-bomb beloved of lfgss dropping anytime soon.

Have they ever duplicated a word?

My concern is we’ve come to the party too late and we have 200 words to catch up on (eliminate).

That wouldn’t work under worlde hard rules. You played p twice but it wasn’t in the word.

And of course it won’t let you play a word that isn’t in the list.

Is Wordle counting a thing?!

Pure poetry.

I assume you are trolling scoble by including leans and reams

This game has been on the Dutch tele since 1989 btw.

Someone hacked the wordle code, it takes the date and then based on some solveable process assigns a numbered word from a defined list. That person then predicted words for the days ahead and got them right.

But there's no fun in that.

What's your list then?

Haha - I don’t have one.

Maybe I should ask the lexicographers to create one with all the supporting proofs!?

Disgusting.

1990 for the french version with 7 letters

..... aren't there 9 letters there?

Classic one-upmanship from the French :)

one-upmanned myself real good here :)

the word length changed over time. Back when i remember it, it was 7. The image is from the last show aired a few years ago

Keep them out of trouble

Yeah we had the 6letter version for a while. Made this guy an instant celebrity. He put the emphasis between the s and the h to disguise the vulgarity.
