WORDLE 387 (***SPOILER ALERT***)

[William Seger]

Wordle 387 4/6

⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ CRANE
⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ PIOUS (Ouch! So much for being devoutly religious.)
🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ MADLY (Madly looking for a clue...)
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MADAM (Madam, you're the only wordle for me.)

1. 4

Wordle 387 4/6

⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ BREAK
⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ QUITS
⬜⬜🟨🟩⬜ WOMAN (on the right track, I guess)
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MADAM (first word I thought of but I hesitated because of the double double letters)

[William Seger]

2. I'll predict that a lot of people will have complete misses on their 2nd word (n/t)

[Shrek]

6. You're right in my case

But I'm curious about why you thought so.

Edit: never mind, I think I see it. Two double-letter combos so the chances of a miss are high.

[William Seger]

8. And M and D aren't very high on the "most common letters" list

A lot of the favorite starter words will get a hit on A, and I think most people will try to find other common letters and any other vowels, but there aren't any. WordleBot had a complete miss with TOILS after CRANE.

3. Par 4. Love your comments, William Seger!

⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ SCARE
⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ BLOAT
🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ DIVAN
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MADAM (This was my initial thought for my third guess, but I rejected it because I thought it had already been a solution! It must have been a recent quordle or octordle word.)

[Karma13612]

21. I won't feel guilty about repeating a word!

I don’t do these every day. And I have a pretty poor memory so I could easily guess a word from a week ago and not realize it is a repeat solution.

[femmedem]

34. LOL, Karma!

[underpants]

4. 5. Really struggled to come up with a guess

Wordle 387 5/6

⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜email
🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜manor
🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜match
🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜masks - Wordle never just pluralizes something
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩Madam

A double double letter. 😳

[Karma13612]

20. Thats good to know, about

Wordle not pluralizing a word. I suppose they think it’s a cop-out to the challenge?

Anyway, good job. Today really stumped me too.

[underpants]

25. I don't think they've ever just pluralized anything

Yeah that would be a cop-out

[William Seger]

30. It allows plural guesses, though, which is useful when you're just searching for letters

But when you're going for the win, it'll never be a simple plural of a 4-letter word.

[Karma13612]

37. 👍makes sense! Eom

[Shrek]

5. Methodical 4

Edit: "Madam I'm Adam" was the first palindrome I learned as a kid.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

16. "Mom" was probably your very first ;) nt

[William Seger]

31. However, his first experience was "boob"

[MissMillie]

7. I got it in 4

And I'm surprised I did. I had to look at it for a long time.

🟩��🟩🟩🟩 MADAM

17. If you're seeing black diamonds with question marks

on the second and third letters of the last word instead of green boxes, the way to fix that is to put 2 spaces between the last square and the spelled-out word. This is what I'm seeing on my computer and phone but it may just be Firefox:
🟩��🟩🟩🟩 MADAM
I've fixed this in the past by adding two spaces before the word:
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MADAM

[William Seger]

32. Ah, thanks! I see that sometimes in Firefox -- don't know about other browsers (n/t)

[nuxvomica]

35. Remember to delete the images and re-paste to make it work

I don't know why Firefox does that but, man, it was so annoying until I figured out the workaround.

[Chipper Chat]

9. A Stephen King novel maybe.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 madam

[Karma13612]

19. Yes!

I would say you need to get out a pad of paper and pen and get writing. I’ll await the publisher announcement of your first printing!!!

[Chipper Chat]

22. Or I could do a Cole Porter reference

Miss Otis regrets she is unable to lunch on Capon and lambs today.....madam

[Karma13612]

26. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 eom

[William Seger]

33. OMG, that's funny!

How old are you?

[Chipper Chat]

38. Too old

I once sang for Cole Porter when I was in the 6th grade

⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ BLEAT (seriously?? No hints at all)
⬜⬜🟨🟩⬜ WOMAN (OK, I’ll take that.. followed by 20min of scribbling on scratch paper)
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MADAM (Woman should have been a hint)

[William Seger]

23. I think 3 always requires luck

... either in having your starter words coincidentally eliminate all other alternatives, which is rare, or just picking the right solution from many possibilities.

[Karma13612]

24. I like how you think!

👍🧐

[Different Drummer]

27. 5/6. I think I need a new start word.
