On Playing Wordle . . .

09/02/2022: Wordle 440 4/6

🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜
⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜
⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Only 2 letters to go on w/the 2 starter words

3 possibilities per WordleBot but I only thought
of 2 of them. So, a Birdie was possible but I don't
have any problem w/the Par.

The current NYT average for this puzzle is 3.6.

09/01/2022: Wordle 439 4/6 FUNGI

There were 10 possibilities per WordleBot
after the 2nd guess but PUNJI was the only word
I could make fit and it limited the possibliities to 1.

Wasn't sure what a PUNJI was until I looked up the
definition. It's one of those pointy bamboo sticks that
are/were used to maime/kill animals or people, like Arnold
used in the 1st Predator movie to try to kill the Alien. ;)

PUNJI wasn't even on WordleBot's possible word list but
it was the word that I needed to solve this puzzle.

The final NYT average for this puzzle was 4.3.

There were many 10 possibilities per WordleBot
after the 2nd guess but PUNJI was the only word
I could make fit and it limited the possibliities to 1.

I had the same, took me an extra guess, but I got on punji at guess five and that made fungi the only possible, but if I'd taken a second before pressing on pungi to check other possible first letters I would have gone with fungi as more likely. Tough one!
 
09/03/2022: Wordle 441 4/6

⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨
⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩
⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

35 possibilities per WordleBot after the 2nd starter
word but my 3rd guess reduced the possibilities to
just 2 more. Call it just lucky or insightful as you prefer. ;)

The current NYT average for this puzzle is 4.8. So, a
pretty difficult puzzle for many.

09/02/2022: Wordle 440 4/6 CHARM

Only 3 possibilities per WordleBot after the 2nd
starter word. The other possible word was GNARL,
which I never considered. Went with WHARF which
then limited the answer to only CHARM.

The final NYT for this puzzle was 3.6

More than enough letters revealed in 2
for me to solve this in 3.

7 possibilities per WordBot but I only saw 1. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

The current NYT average for this puzzle is 4.0.

09/05/2022: Wordle 441 4/6 GULLY

WordleBot said there were 35 possibilities after
the 2nd guess. But I figured the U had to go in the 2nd
position and that there was a double letter -- either L or G.

I went w/the L and which limited the possibilities to
either FULLY, GULLY or BULLY. The 2nd letter on the
keyboard (left to right) was the G and the answer. :)

The final NYT average for this puzzle was 4.9. Higher
than yesterday. So, it was a pretty difficult puzzle for many.
