knapplc Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 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.

default_28 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 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? Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Got it in 6 again today. I might have to change up my strategy; I start with "Train" every day. Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Am I supposed to be getting right on the first try every time? Quote Link to comment
commando Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 got it in 3 tries. first try had 2 correct letters in the wrong spot. 2nd try i used all new letters and got 1 correct letter in the right spot. then looked at the 3 hints i had and guessed correctly on the third try.

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.

knapplc Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 I wish we could post results on HuskerBoard. This is the only place I can't. Bummer. Here's a screenshot of today. Reasonably easy. Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 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? Quote Link to comment

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.
