Wordle 281 (*** SPOILER THREAD ***)

[Shrek]

Wordle 281 3/6

⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ SOLAR
⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ UNITE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 NYMPH

This is my usual 3rd guess when the first two don't go anywhere, but this time it was the actual word.

1. This was my first time I had NO letters correct from the first 2 tries

10 different letters none were correct.

I was shocked it only took me 4 tries.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

22. I only got an "N" on the second try.

I did my typical "Adieu" and "Snort" as my first two guesses, to help get all of the vowels out of the way.

No vowels at all, so that lead me to think "Y" was acting as one. "Nymph" was my first guess, and the correct one, on the 3rd try.

I haven't been playing very long, first made aware of Wordle on DU.

It actually wasn't hard if you think about it, I got it right away as it was the first word I though of given the available letters.

5. Funny one, easier than it looked at first

Wordle 281 3/6

⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 TRAIN
⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ LOUSE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 NYMPH

It looked really bad; but then, there aren't many words that don't have any A, E, I, O, or U.

[Donkees]

7. How did you get a yellow ''e'' (line 1 'trace')

[William Seger]

8. Sorry, I confused myself with wordle-play.com games

I played a few dozen games on wordle-play.com after solving the NYT one, waiting for Shrek to post this thread, and I confused myself. The result graphic is from the NYT game, but my starting word was TRAIN.

I might have gotten it in three but I've been trying to overcome my fear of double letters and chose the arguably more common word.

21. I start with ADIEU and STORY

That covers all the vowels. Just seeing the Y was a tough one but I got it in 5.
