08/29/2022: Wordle 437 3/6
More than enough letters to solve this in 3
but I had to work at it for awhile to get it.
There were at least 8 other possibilities per
WordleBot using other letter patterns.
The current NYT average is 3.8.
08/28/2022: Wordle 436 3/6 CHIEF
In contrast, I immediately guessed CHIEF
with the IE in the 3rd & 4th positions.
Good thing because it was the only possible
answer per WordleBot.
The final NYT average was 3.7.

Wordle 438 3/6
Didn’t start well, and I think I got lucky on my third guess. I was expecting it to narrow the field and get it in 4 or 5.

3 possibilities based on the letter
pattern that I chose based on changing
just 3 letters in the 4th position
All 3 letters were on the same row of
the keyboard and I just picked the 1st
letter starting on the left.
Just lucky that it was the right one but
would still have done no wose than a
Bogey if it was the last one.
Several other possibilities according to
WordleBot which made it difficult for many.
The current NYT average for this puzzle is 4.7
08/03/2022: Wordle 437 3/6 ONSET
Had more than enough letters to solve this
using the letter pattern I chose but I just
couldn't "see" the answer for the longest
time.
Had to resort to the strong-arm method
of inserting every available letter in the 2nd
position to recognize ONSET as a word. LOL!
Eight other possibilitues per WordleBot using
different letter patterns but the NYT average for
this puzzle was 3.9. So, it wasn't that difficult
for most.

Rough one again today. Started with not a whole lot to work with, then once I had the pattern I had two choices and guessed wrong as usual.
That being said my WhatsApp Wordle chat is having a hard time with this one, with what I knew at guess four, there were at least four possible words, but I'd eliminated two so at least I was going to get it by six.

I think you had the same pattern I did, there were at least four and possibly five words to pick from even with only letter 4 missing.Nightmare fail!

Tricky word.
Not much to go on w/2 common vowels in yellow. Randomly
plugged in letters for 3rd guess. Didn't even know what the
3rd word meant; had to look it up b4 hitting enter.
I don't consider this cheating, do you?
I've seen a lot of them in the movies and this guess limited
the possibilities to just 1 and was enough to save Par.
WordleBot said there were 10 possibilities after the 2nd guess
and didn't even have the word I chose on its possible word list.
The current NYT average is 4.2.
08/31/2022: Wordle 438 3/6 PRIZE
I used PRI_E as the letter pattern that left me w/3 choices -- PRIZE,
PRICE and PRIME. Z, C & M are all on the bottom row of the keyboard.
So, I started w/Z which was the 1st letter on the left.
Just lucky it was the "right" one but there were at least 7 other
possibilities using other letter patterns based on WordleBot which
made this puzzle difficult to solve.
The final NYT average was 4.7.

That was a little brutal yesterday. I was glad I guessed Z first, but I think a lot of people went C, M, D first and ran out of guesses. That's what happened to my wife yesterday.

I actually didn't even know my fourth guess was a word, but I should have looked more closely and checked all the other potential starting letters because what it ended up being was way more sensible.
