Anyone ever gotten Quordle in 6? I come so close a few times a week. Daily Quordle 71 6️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣7️⃣ quordle.com ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛
Girl got me onto this. Played 30 times and have 29 correct. I do like that NYT does it once a day. Takes 5 minutes but is fun. I always start with TEARS.
Today was the first time in 6.. Ironically. Daily Quordle 72 4️⃣6️⃣ 3️⃣5️⃣ quordle.com ⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛
Usually the last one will take me to 9...for some reason, the stars aligned this morning. I felt smart for a few minutes.
I made a mistake on the bottom left as my first word at 3 and put my phone down in disgust. I'll try to complete later.
I did a practice one in 5. Mostly because of my conservative strategy, and luck. I start with three simple words that don’t have any letters in common. The second and third words hit, and from there (with fifteen letters on the board) I was able to knock out the other two in guess 4 and 5. I have a picture of it, but uploading it would reveal my strategy.
this is cheating and not in the spirit of the game each guess should be dependent on prior guesses (meaning the guess has to be something that could possibly be correct based on knowledge from previous guesses)
I found another site called hello wordl where you can play game after game for free. For whatever reason it's not nearly as fun as Wordle. What you can do, though, is increase the length of the words from five letters all the way up to eleven.
You can adjust the setting and put it on hard mode and it makes you play that way. I agree with you though, I don't need to turn the setting on, I just play like it's on hard mode...that makes it more fun.
Wordle calls what you describe as “Hard Mode” in their Settings. The default setting allows using any valid word. And the Quordle community does not play that way, because what does it even mean when you have 4 words to solve. I mean, look up Wordle Stratgies. No one is talking about the spirit of the game being Hard Mode. anyhoot, my Quordle-in-5 game actually did adhere to Wordle’s Hard Mode. On my first guess, obviously two of the guess words had zero matches. The 2nd guess nailed one of those two, still leaving one with nothing correct. 3rd guess nailed that, then guess 4 and 5 were correct as well. I might eventually turn on “Hard Mode” in Wordle.
Some of the wordle unlimited sites have bad dictionaries. They use 4 letter words with a plural S on the end as the puzzle word. Wordle doesn’t do that.
Revealing my strategy since it's not hardcore to some... I open with route then a word with the remaining vowels like plaid. I stay away from using S because it could be used in the later tries and opening it first with paired letters like sh or ch opens up more guessing. When you pin down the position of the vowels it also restricts letter pairs. The remaining guesses allow me to avg between 3-4 tries to the extent that I stopped playing this for a month until this thread popped up again. This works fairly well as an opener for quordle too. Quordle has a broader dictionary set (I once guessed junto because I remotely knew junta...) whereas I imagine Wordle's main rules is to keep it simple to at most an 8th grade level.
I don’t understand what you are trying to say here. What do you mean you reserve S for later guesses? Are you playing Hard Mode?
Not playing hard mode...I meant avoiding 'opening with S'. Starting with S like pails might mean I have to use it again for 'shape'. I rather aim for tricky consonants first than glue consonants like h, c, s. I guess you could throw R & T in the tricky list. The point is to have the first two words cover as much distance from each other so that you don't get ambushed with words that need j, w or g. It depends on your opening strategy, whether you're trying to guess with the least tries every game or average out with the highest clear rate with the lowest tries.
I've run into that. Seems like I've had several words ending in S and lots of words like tooth, teeth, sweet, etc. Some would probably avoid it for those reasons, but I don't take it too seriously.
