It's actually 204, but If you miss a day it doesn't count as a loss but it does reset your streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually completed it in four, which I thought was slightly amusing - forth and all that, assuming it was the same word. Why might there have been some ructions? I also completed Quordle to maintain my long successful streak (completed, but not in four), but I cannot for the life of me remember the word.

Did you get the first letter early on? With respect to @Slacker! I think that was a big help. Mrs ID did, and got it in 4. I had the last 4 letters in place after my third go, but it left so many other - and far more obvious - options for the first letter.

TV Tom Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Can’t remember the last time I failed to complete wordle but unfortunately I don’t do it every day so don’t have a running total, my mrs is far more sophisticated and does “birdle” which I”m useless at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the word is better known as a name? No names allowed I thought. Yesterday was my first failure for about 2 years, not annoyed as such. Now they have removed stats (if no account) it doesn't seem to matter as much. Back on track today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, actually, in my first go, along with the fourth letter, both of which were green - obviously a fortuitous start. I had four green letters by my third go, and the obvious choice for the missing fourth letter had already been ruled out, making it a formality to complete. I have posted previously that I far prefer QUORDLE. I do both most days, but find WORDLE very much a game of chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, of course, better known as a forename, but is also the second word in a well known phrase, hence my comment in my earlier post about the fact I completed it on my fourth attempt. Re. failures, I have failed WORDLE on a few occasions, but never failed to complete QUORDLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re. failures, I have failed WORDLE on a few occasions, but never failed to complete QUORDLE. Better known as a name, indeed!! To the extent that my mental list of options, once I'd got the last four letters, put a "W" ahead of an 'S" - even though that's a name too!! I'll have a look at Quordle. Thanks.

As I mentioned earlier, I was only missing the fourth letter, and would have inserted a ‘T’, but that had already been excluded. My infrequent failures to complete WORDLE have all been due to a choice of several possible correct words with my final letter on my last attempt, sometimes several attempts.

PHILINFRANCE Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Today's was very much the same. All the letters after three attempts, but, a la Eric Morecambe, not in the correct order. Wordle 1,011 4/6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 (edited) As I have mentioned previously, very much a game of chance.
