1. Took me 4 tries today... n/t

[Just_Vote_Dem]

2. I did it in 3 also

I'm shocked, I usually do better in number games

Bookmarking website, thanks!

[True Dough]

3. You're the better wordsmith today, Earl

It took me four tries.

[dhol82]

4. First time playing

Missed it by one letter.
Maybe time I’ll be better.

[NightWatcher]

5. Took me too many guesses to get going

I refuse to use any of the "cheat words" that are online to start with.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

58. What's a "cheat" word?

I make words from the most frequently-used letters. Is that a cheat? If sothey haven't seemed to help all that much. The last two days I got the answer in five moves. Not stellar or genius.

[NightWatcher]

59. It's not exactly a cheat, its rather smart to start with a word with the most vowels.

I start with ADIEU and usually find something.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

61. Yes, that's cheating! "Adieu" is not even English, it's Canadian.

Bonjour!

[Nittersing]

6. Well... I got it... finally

7. I did it on the first try! ...

... after first getting it on the 4th try this morning, then powering off and working the puzzle again in genius mode

[bamagal62]

8. 5 for me today.

Every time I’ve done it, it takes me 5.

[MLAA]

9. Darn, took me all 6 tries.

Twice as long as yesterday. Just found this puzzle yesterday and really love it.

[Harker]

10. I did.

My second go, after a last ditch six prior.

[MicaelS]

11. Not bad for first time.

17. I didn't get it today, only the second time.

My average is four. Now I have to wait HOURS. ☹️

[intrepidity]

18. Played for the first time yesterday. Got it in 2.

Got today's in 3. I think I may quit now while I'm ahead.

[avebury]

19. It took me 4, first time playing. nt

[2naSalit]

20. First time playing, got it in three.

Never saw this game before this post. I had no idea what I was doing until the second try.

[Fla Dem]

21. Took 5. Pretty much had it after 2, but out of 3 possible letters, picked the right one last.

I am usually good at gleaning a lot of information on the second guess and solving it in three, but today I needed his help. (I might explain why tomorrow but I don't want to post anything that could be even a slight spoiler.)

24. A foreign word? Dating from the 10th fucking century?

No, as a matter of fact, I fell short today.

[femmedem]

25. It's a British game so it wasn't foreign to the game designer.

But yeah, it was tough for us Americans. My husband suggested it and first I told him that it wasn't a word.

[femmedem]

26. My worst score so far, five, even though after my 2nd guess I seemed off to a good start.

Getting none of the letters on my first try was helpful, though!

29. I try to figure out other peoples' strategies and guesses, too!

My dad composed and edited crossword puzzles. I think of him every morning when I play Wordle. He would have loved it.

[targetpractice]

30. That's sweet...

... Where were your dad's crossword puzzles published?

Looking at your score, I'm trying to guess one of your final attempts... I'm stumped.

I wonder if this will get easy after awhile... There is the "hard mode" which I suspect I will turn on at some point. It forces you to use all correctly guessed letters in subsequent guesses.

[femmedem]

31. He had quite a few published in the New York Times.

But they were published all over the place. Would you like me to message you with my guesses, or would that spoil the fun for you?

[targetpractice]

35. Sure... I'll respond with mine.

[Marthe48]

28. 1/18/22 a toughie

I didn't hit any letters till 3rd try, but then got it 4th try.

At 4:30 am I was bummed that I'd woken up so early. But then Wordle made me feel like the day was going to be just fine. (I got lucky with my first guess.)

Hope you don't mind if I don't Twitter my result.

Now, to hit the lottery! lol

41. Took me all 6 tries to get it yesterday but...

Back to three attempts today!

42. According to Free Dictionary 158,390 5 letter words in English

Pretty awesome to guess any word in 6 tries or less, with no clues to start us off

[Marthe48]

43. Is anyone else thinking of good 5 letter words for tomorrow?

Or is that just me? lol

[edbermac]

44. Just got it in 2.

[femmedem]

45. Congratulations! But you are giving away one of the letters with your screeenshare.

If you hit the share button and then paste into your reply, you'll be able to show everyone your yellow and green squares without any spoilers.

Interesting to see how other people play: whether they keep using the letters they know are correct or spend an attempt trying to eliminate as many letters as possible by not using any letters they've already figured out.
