On Playing Wordle . . .

[r8shell]

I probably won't post a screenshot of my games, unless there's something particularly interesting about my strategy that day.

After my long time start word STARE was used, I had to choose a new potential hole-in-one word. I'm going with LEAST. Two vowels, and three very common consonants. I hated giving up the R, but L is almost as common, and if possible I'll use an R on my second guess.
Being lucky is often better than being smart.

Note: I'm still going to save a copy of all of my Wordle board answers
but I'm going to take a break from posting them here for awhile.

Hopefully, others will fill in with reveal pics of their answers in the meantime.

Okay, here goes my narrative on yesterday's Wordle. A bit of background first. A few weeks ago I switched from playing hard mode as I had found that I was relying on the used word list. Since then I've played without any external aids, and regained most of the satisfaction that I had in the beginning.

Wordle 1,294 3/6



Used one of my two starting words (the other is DEALT).

Gambled that there wouldn’t be any more vowels, so looked for a second word that used A and E and had a couple of high frequency consonants. Got lucky and found the positions of the vowels.

CLEAN and CHEAT were ruled out, and I got lucky and picked CHEAP.

Hard to not with that start. Totally forgot yesterday, didn't even do the first guess.

Used the other start word yesterday . Chose to try a guess rather than find more letters and got lucky.
