You get 6 tries to guess the word.
 
1. if you guess the correct letter in the correct block, the square turns green
2. if you guess a correct letter but it's in the wrong spot, the block/letter turns yellow.
3. if a guessed letter is not in the word, that letter turns gray.
 

 

Could have gotten today's quicker if I had used a different first word, but so it goes. This was nothing like as bad as 219.

This is fun. I lucked into it in 4 tries. Is there a standard strategy to this game? Is there a word or two that you start with every time that narrows down the possibilities quickly?

 

People usually start with a word that contains many of the common vowels & consonants, like learn or earls or trace. Sometimes you do that and you get a bunch of hits, sometimes you get nothing. 

 

 

 

For some reason HuskerBoard won't let me post my results. Keeps telling me it contains an unsupported emoji. Boo.

Got it in 6 again today. I might have to change up my strategy; I start with "Train" every day. 

I started with train and also got it on 6th try. Could’ve had it in 5 but there was another viable option and I went with it first. Seems like 3 or less would usually involve some degree of luck.

Had the last 4 letters correct and in the right place on 2nd guess. Still took all 6. Wondering if it wouldn’t have been smarter to guess all the possible consonants on line 3 and then solve on 4. Will it take nonsense words?

 

It only takes real words, not a keyboard smash.

So there is some luck involved then. After I had _ight and knew r wasn’t an option.


fight

night

light

might

 

I don’t remember what order I tried them or what the word ended up being but at that point it’s just if you guess lucky or not.
