Wordle 255 4/6

⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 DOUSE
⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ TRAIL
⬜🟩🟨⬜🟩 CURVE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 RUPEE

I hit the solution 5 or 6 times and discarded it before finally pulling the trigger. I just couldn't come up with anything else.

2. Got in 3, but I was just looking for letter position. I didn't think they'd use

a word borrowed from another language.

🟩⬜⬜🟩⬜ Rates

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Rupee

[EYESORE 9001]

3. It's actually part of our language now

What’s the alternative - calling them ‘Indian dollars?’

[Scrivener7]

5. I am simply saying I am surprised it was a borrowed word. I would have

been surprised also if the word were, say, "adios." Commonly used, but clearly borrowed.

[Shrek]

6. It occurs to me that EUROS would be a pretty good start word n/t

[EYESORE 9001]

7. If it's among the recognized words on its list

They may not have bothered with the plural.

[zanana1]

29. What list?

I don't see a list. Where is the list?

[EYESORE 9001]

32. The list of words they use. We can't see it.

You’ll know a word isn’t on the list if you enter it and it doesn’t get recognized.

[edbermac]

10. Mine is adieu

Followed by story if I’m stumped. That covers all the vowels.

[SKKY]

4. I got it in 5. But I have a question. Is it just me, or do these seem harder...

...now that the NY Times has taken over?

[targetpractice]

21. The inventor created a word list to last until 2027...

So, I've read... I do not believe The NY Times altered that list.

[William Seger]

8. 4

Wordle 255 4/6

⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ TRAIL
⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 LOUSE
🟨🟩🟨⬜🟩 PURGE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 RUPEE

I thought I had nailed it with PURGE, and then got stuck, finally entered rupee because I just couldn't think of anything else that worked.

[Shrek]

9. Same here

I typed CURVE and prepared myself to celebrate.

[femmedem]

24. I typed PUREE and prepared to celebrate! n/t

[edbermac]

11. "They're making it too hard! Waaaaaahhh!"

Frickin’ crybabies. I got it in 4.

Wordle players have slammed the New York Times again today after the game gave an obscure answer that's been deemed 'political' and 'not even English'.

Fans have complained the puzzle has become 'too difficult' since the US newspaper took it over with today's answer arguably the most tricky yet.

Gamers took to Twitter to say the answer - a Hindi word that's in the Oxford English Dictionary - was used to 'too political'.

12. My brain hurts. I didn't know that was a word.

Wordle 255 5/6

🟩⬜🟨⬜⬜roust
⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜audio
🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ruler
🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜rumen - no idea that’s a word
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩rupee - flat out guessed

[Shrek]

13. Currency in India

Familiar to me only because I do a lot of foreign currency exchange conversions in my job.

[underpants]

15. Yeah I got that after they flipped over

I did know it was a word but it’s not something I’d think would be on Wordle.

[birdographer]

25. Took me 5 too

I was on a string of 3's and then here comes this 5! Knew the word but it didn't come to mind easily enough. It was solved by simple process of elimination.

[birdographer]

26. Interesting

We both used RIPER an REPEL to get there.

[marigold20]

16. four today

Wordle 255 4/6

⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩ALONE
⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩CHIME
🟨🟨🟨⬜🟩PRUDE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩RUPEE

Rupee didn't seem like a hard word once I used RUP as the first three letters. This may be first time I didn't use S and T at all.

[Ohiya]

17. I deviated from my usual strategy today and still got a four.

Wordle 255 4/6

🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 RAISE
🟩⬜🟨⬜🟩 ROUTE
🟩🟨⬜🟨🟩 REVUE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 RUPEE

I've been starting with three words with fifteen different letters. So, I never get less than four, but I do get four almost every time. Today, I tried for a two, then a three and ended up with my usual four.

[CanyaDigIt]

20. We followed the same path.

22. Ha, what are the odds!

You know what they say about great minds!

19. Glad I threw in the towel early.

Rupee? Puh-leeze...

[Donkees]

23. ''Ruble sinks 26% after SWIFT sanctions against Russian banks, Rupee crashes 40 paise''

[chia]

27. Got it in 3, but wasn't expecting it to be rupee. Admittedly, I'm a lazy wordle player,

I don't stick to any starting word, I just throw something in there and roll from there.

⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩 grate
🟨🟨⬜⬜🟩 erode

[Fla Dem]

28. How I came up with Rupee is anyone's guess.

Wordle 255 4/6

🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩RAISE
🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩RONDE
🟩🟨⬜🟩⬜REKEY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩RUPEE

Guess when I came up with the 2 E's on the 3rd try and the 2nd one fit anywhere else.

[zanana1]

30. It took me five tries.

I was desperate, so I thought " what the hell?"

[miyazaki]

31. 3

Wordle 255 3/6

🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ RECON
🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 RIDGE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 RUPEE

I give you one thousand rupee to recon that ridge.

[mucifer]

33. Ok I don't know what rupee means. I had to guess a gazillion made up words to get that

one on the 5th try. If I couldn't make up words without losing a turn I'd have a lot more trouble with wordle.

Yes, I'm not too bright.
