Wordle 237 3/6

⬜⬜⬜🟩🟨
🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Got lucky again today. Got 4 out of 5 letters w/1st 2 words w/1 in the green. Just a matter of eliminating all likely combos until the right one was found.

Yesterday's was a lucky guess too. Got all 5 letters w/1st 2 words. None in the green but, again, it was just a matter of testing all likely probables.

The key to both solutions was the choice of the 2nd word, which for me is usually a word starting w/a C, S, F or B. Just happened 2 pick the "right" word the last 2 days but there have been many other times when that did NOT happen.

I haven't used "adieu" as a seed word yet, because I can't shake my scrabble-rules mindset that it's an illegal 'foreign word' 🤔😇

There are many other "recommendations" but ADIEU is the only word that I have used for the 1st word because it removes 4 out of 5 vowels from consideration. Then, it's only a matter of choosing the "right" 2nd word w/an O in it to eliminate all of the vowels and just focus on the consonants.

This could be done using other 1st/2nd words using 3/2 vowel words instead but I find using ADIEU most efficient.
 
I read an article that, interestingly, suggested words one and two be high consonant words. Interesting....

The Wordle Archive (a link provided at the top of this thread) provides options to play unlimited random 5 or 6 word games.

I tried the 6 letter game and it is significantly more difficult than the 5. So, I'll stick w/the 5 which is difficult enough. The random 5 game is a good place to practice w/o worrying about your score.

You can also create "challenge" and "timed" word games to play w/others on The Wordle Archive.

This puzzle today wasn't that much different than the one yesterday but it was more difficult for me, even though I found 4 letters (1 green) on the 1st 2 tries, because of the different consonants used in the mystery word. Again, the choice of the 2nd word was key to the solution.

yes I faked it, Wordle 239 doesn't come out until tomorrow!
 
I tried the 6 letter version and on the one hand, getting to guess an extra letter in the first try is useful - I have done well with "stored" - but man it takes some tough brain-grinding after that! So far I managed 4 out 5 - on the 5th my last guess was the wrong choice of 2 possible options I could think of
 
At a glance I thought you said you were doing well at it stoned. Then my brain caught up to my eyes haha
 
I didn't read all 6 pages but I've been playing wordle for a week
My opening word is AEROS. Followed up by UNITY. I love word games and play a lot of scrabble on my phone app.

Another mystery word with multiple possible spellings based on a single letter. I never seem to choose the "correct" spelling 1st; often last.

Oh well . . .

My "solution" for 02/12/2022: Wordle 238 4/6 - ULTRA

Here is my "cheat sheet". The top are words I use which have the highest frequency letters. The bottom is a letter frequency chart.

Interesting. Don't like using combos that use repeat letters but could have pretty easily solved ULTRA in 3 tries using AEROS & UNITY.

Will check to see how this combo works for other words later.

My 3rd play is often a word with Ch somewhere in it. I like to play something with a vowel hit in a different location so I can identify its position.
