    @Piglet - I quite agree about today's Byrdle! A lucky guess with a word from a Christmas Carol got me enough correct green letters to get the word.

    But, I'm enjoying the musical brain workout with it.

    Well done you getting it from just one green and one yellow, JJ!

  • If you're down to a choice between BRAIN, DRAIN, and GRAIN, then the simple strategy (guess one after the other) is equally likely to get the right answer in 1, 2, or 3 goes.

    Whereas if you selected, for example, BRAID as your next guess, then you're guaranteed the answer in 2 goes. (if B is green, it's BRAIN. Else if D is orange, it's DRAIN, else it's GRAIN.)

    Both methods get you the answer in, on average, the same number of guesses, but the variance differs.

    I had not thought about that sort of strategy.

    My method of playing involves always using the letters that I have already determined to be there, i.e. if I know that the final letter is N, I will put N as the final letter, if I have a yellow on a particular letter, I have to put that letter somewhere else in the word. I'm not sure whether it's optimism or pride, but in some cases it might, as you say, lead to finishing in more moves

    Byrdle almost had me stumped today, as it’s a word not used in American English.

  • Yay, Byrdle in 2 today!
  • Wordle in 5. I had the first 3 letters green on guess 3, but ...

    I did today’s Wordle in three - thanks to @Timothy the Obscure ’s ATONE.

    👏🏼

    I’m now using ALONE and SHIRT for the first two lines (got it in three today).

    Got Wordle in 4 and Byrdle in 3.

    Sometimes I use today's Byrdle word as my first post. Should have done that today!

    I have just discovered "Le Mot" which is the name for Wordle in French...

    I got Byrdle in 2 today and Wordle in what is becoming my customary 4.

    I found woordle.nl in Dutch. There's also a six letter version in Dutch, but I think more letters might be easier.

    Wordle in 4. I thought of using the answer as my second word, but I changed my mind to use two words I thought I'd get more information from.

    Wordle in 3, Byrdle in 2, but I'm raging because my first Byrdle guess was one of two thoughts in my head - the wrong one!

    Your Wordle Strategy Says a Lot about How You See the World

  • I found woordle.nl in Dutch. There's also a six letter version in Dutch, but I think more letters might be easier.

    There is also a German version at wordle-spielen.de

    So for strategy are people using non-overlapping letters for first and second guesses or are they trying the hard method (honor or forced) which requires using all known letters in each subsequent guess?

  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    I start with something with plenty of vowels (eg ARISE, ALONE) and take it from there.

    I was a bit rubbish today though - 6/6. :(

    Byrdle was better - I got it in 3.

    Didn't realize "hard mode" existed - I might try it.
  • I tried hard mode today. I got it in 4/6, probably no worse than if I’d done it the usual way, but I did have to spend a lot more time thinking between guesses.
  • Byrdle is wonderful for those who have musical knowledge, but all those familiar with church and biblical words can play Prayerdle. I got the one today in 4.

    Byrdle in 2, Wordle in 4 (but I actually changed the right answer to the wrong one on try 3). :disappointed:

    I've started this one. Found today's much harder than yesterday's, as I wasn't thinking of the word in a Christian context.
