Gah! First wrong Wordle in months. Too many options and a bit of a sod.

I ruined a 78 run yesterday - any of 5 letters would’ve worked in the gap grrr

sassyproducer.bsky.social•49 days ago

It nailed me too.
And I’m doubly annoyed because I chose a word I felt was “more common, but uses less common letters” over what it turns out was the right answer 😫

I thought it was a weird word today. I've never heard it used.

adsomenk.bsky.social•49 days ago

Happens sometimes. Some days the Wordle Gods set their oars against you

martinwright.bsky.social•49 days ago

Same problem, easy word, just too many options.

magstheobscure.bsky.social•49 days ago

My problem is I will guess a dirty word even though I absolutely know it won't be a dirty word hence this

I've had two wipe outs this week, an unprecedented slump in form. At this rate I may change my name by deed poll to Manchester United

christina101.bsky.social•49 days ago

Plus using the same letter twice - a bit of a cheat.
*totally not bitter

2centsworth.bsky.social•48 days ago

I went all the way to 6/6 today. Putting in that last guess is scary!

randomnoodle13.bsky.social•49 days ago

Yeah, a “phew” here.

tonz.uk•49 days ago

Was one of those trixy ones!

emmakennedy.bsky.social•49 days ago

Same!

baldyvanman.bsky.social•49 days ago

First defeat of the year. Too many options.

sueryan66bskysocia.bsky.social•49 days ago

Got it on the last one.

csior.bsky.social•49 days ago

Ruined my 2 month streak :( What an awful word to put in

dianef1224.bsky.social•49 days ago

Same here

deviantinc.bsky.social•49 days ago

I have never lost at wordle. I did get 100s across the board, then I forgot to play one day and lost my streak so I rage quit 😅

jenmsp.bsky.social•49 days ago

I forgot to play yesterday. Didn’t matter because the streak would have ended today.

99thredballoon.bsky.social•49 days ago

I hate it when they use the same letter twice. That's what trips me up

lisasmuffins.bsky.social•49 days ago

This needed to be said. Should be outlawed.

Babe I’d always rather cheat than lose the streak over a one letter
I lost streaks for horrible reasons.

robbvinut.bsky.social•49 days ago

Lots of people busted today.. I scraped by with a 6

richarddubourg.bsky.social•49 days ago

There are some people who claim they have NEVER got a Wordle wrong. I can't believe that. For some there are just too many options and, if your choices don't eliminate enough, you'll just run out of turns.

ian.spennys.world•49 days ago

I don't play hard mode. I normally use the same 3 words to start with. This one solved in 5 using that system, a 4th word wrong guess gave a single final option. I *think* that with care, not using hard mode, you can always solve it: 794 streak after phone upgrade cock-up.

richarddubourg.bsky.social•49 days ago

So hard mode being you have to use letters which have been "found"?

ian.spennys.world•49 days ago

Yep.

richarddubourg.bsky.social•49 days ago

Ok. I reckon I'd never lose if I didn't play hard mode. I think most people play hard mode.

gorillamitts.bsky.social•49 days ago

Well…I like challenge like that.
Got it in 3…..sorry.
Unwanted advice for you. Always start with shite.

trev1947.bsky.social•49 days ago

Ditto. As Elvis said “caught in a trap”

implausible17.bsky.social•49 days ago

It got me today too, bye bye streak

noted.bones.haver.maia.cash•49 days ago

absolutely hated it. real pisser, not surprised you're annoyed, i am too

hipkitten.bsky.social•49 days ago

Definitely a tricky one - got it in 6.

chrissieroyal.bsky.social•49 days ago

It should be a condition of Wordle that the Lots Of Options words aren’t used. Any word that uses stabbing in the dark over critical thinking is not proper Wordle !

jakearchibald.com•49 days ago

It got me too. If you can bear it, you can put the guesses & right answer into https://wordle-analyzer.com/ to see how far off you were.

davedrinkstea.com•49 days ago

I hate it when you have to play guess the consonant

bonobobananas.bsky.social•49 days ago

*minor spoiler*

*****

They are doing a lot of double letters at the moment which doesn’t help.

aunderscorek.bsky.social•49 days ago

Yes! Complete trap. Do you do hard mode, because words like this are exactly my argument against it

treacletruffle.bsky.social•49 days ago

So often Wordle relies on your opening word to set you up, so a fair bit of luck required as well as skill.

happytoast.bsky.social•49 days ago

Next person to reply that they did it risks a blocking. How could that information be of any use to me, especially when I'm trying to move on from the self inflicted irritation!

davidhamilton.bsky.social•49 days ago

Some people get lucky and call it skill

katkin20.bsky.social•49 days ago

I definitely didn't get it in 2.

iankendallmagic.bsky.social•49 days ago

Yep. Only my second fail. Very annoying...

wilburw.bsky.social•49 days ago

Took me to the end...

squirlykat.bsky.social•49 days ago

Had exactly the same issue, just luck innit 🤷🏻‍♂️

barryspinnaker.bsky.social•49 days ago

Sneaked in on 6.

pamnashes.bsky.social•49 days ago

Same.

xarrion.bsky.social•49 days ago

Same. Had _x_xx after guess two and had way more than four options to try 😭

bigescotland.bsky.social•49 days ago

6 for me. Wordle just takes the piss with these words

rudolphucker.bsky.social•49 days ago

eddierobson.bsky.social•49 days ago

Argh. One of those days when getting four greens on the first guess is actually a really bad thing

slats76.bsky.social•49 days ago

Don’t want to be “that guy” but this is where you choose words with totally different letters.

eddierobson.bsky.social•49 days ago

Yes, I think everyone who plays is aware of this tactic: are you aware some people play on hard mode where that isn't an option?

leefreeman.dev•49 days ago

Also some of us are just backing ourselves to guess it correctly and have no time for "the coward's tactic"

slats76.bsky.social•49 days ago

Suppose it’s the difference between deduction and guesswork then. Interesting.

john-self.bsky.social•49 days ago

I stopped using hard mode for this reason. If that smug little WordleBot doesn't use it, I'm buggered if I will.

guidonc.bsky.social•49 days ago

With you. Stream is 0 as of today.

My current streak is 37 but I'm thinking of having a day off every week just to break the cycle. Maybe next week...

dhothersall.bsky.social•49 days ago

I lost my streak about a week ago and have found it a much more relaxed game since. (But yes, today was a bugger.)

I feel for you. I did it, but a few weeks ago I ruined my 648-day run by just…forgetting to do it.

I usually try at just past midnight but it was tricky one so I thought I’d re-attempt in the morning after I woke up. Forgot. I’m still gutted.

saltonsailor.bsky.social•48 days ago

The Wordlebot has an enormous ego, even rivaling Trump.
