Yes, a 3 today. I seem to have had a run of 3s recently.
A question I've been meaning to ask: how do you all know the number of each page? I've not found it on the mobile page.
I am on MacOS. When I share my effort for the day, the number gets copied in along with the coloured squares.
Ah, I see - the share thing doesn't work on android for some reason.

A skillful 2, actually lucky that the correct answer just felt right so I entered it before thinking/finding the other possibilities and persuading myself to change my mind and put in something else.
Got put in my place by taking 9 for Quordle.

In my dreams. 3.9 seems to be the barrier that I cannot get below.
A run of 3's had got me down to 3.52!

I didn't have any trouble finding a 1st 5 letter French word, but then I really struggled to find a 2nd 5 letter French word, especially to fit the clues. Was trying yet another "C'est ne pas un mot..." when a possible word came to me and bingo!
I did O-level French 48 years ago, my French is rudimentary (to put it mildly), I've not been to France for years 🤣🤣🤣
Got to challenge the kids now, they've got A-level and A/S-level French between them, obviously much more recently and one of them goes to France every year or two.
Don't think I'm going to do any more of those - no way I could match this. Mr Arran is obviously suffering from living there and knowing too much.

My standard first word and then that was the only word I could think of that fit, so not much skill involved, just a bit of patience and thinking about possible letter combinations.
I'd be interested to know if there were other possibilities for my second word, how would I find that out?
Edit: thinking about it, any first word with the second letter correct, and the first (incorrect) letter being the letter alphabetically before the second letter, would give a reasonable chance of getting it in 2.
think your first letter cut it down to 2, but the last incorrect letter left only 1

As for the Everyman crossword - still four to go. The hardest I can remember.
> I'm with you.
> Can anyone explain what you're talking about and how you're playing Wordle with bots?
you can use bot/bots to analyse how good your choices were- after the event of course.
trouble is the bot uses easy mode with the same starter whereas i use hard mode with suboptimal starters so to beat the bot gives me some pleasure..
> As for the Everyman crossword - still four to go. The hardest I can remember.
Three left for me; 4d, 10a, 12a.
Same three for me, plus 24d which I think I know but can't quite fit to the clue.
I got to wondering what the hardest wordle to get would be. My first thought is something like 'eerie', as you can burn through a lot of guesses eliminating unused consonants. Any harder ones?
> Same three for me, plus 24d which I think I know but can't quite fit to the clue.
Stir and porridge are both synonyms for the same thing (prison)
> I got to wondering what the hardest wordle to get would be. My first thought is something like 'eerie', as you can burn through a lot of guesses eliminating unused consonants. Any harder ones?
Eerie would be "mental" as our mutual friend might have said.
Stir is what I had in mind but until you said it I hadn't heard of it as meaning the same as porridge.
> My first thought is something like 'eerie'
Something like that, or maybe like fizzy, or jiffy (if that is a Wordle word). Something with repeat letters, especially those that score highly in scrabble.
> you can use bot/bots to analyse how good your choices were- after the event of course.
> trouble is the bot uses easy mode with the same starter whereas i use hard mode with suboptimal starters so to beat the bot gives me some pleasure..
This hasn't moved my knowledge on one jot. When you've played Wordle what do you do next? Is something on the Wordle site?
Ok, so I got today's in three. I've just checked one of the 'bots' or computer solvers and it got three too. Sometimes I get three and it gets four, and vice versa. It's a mildly interesting comparison of the brain's working versus the machine. There's no comparison in speed of course!
Guess what the first hit on Google is?
>Three left for me; 4d, 10a, 12a.
Finished, albeit shakily with 4d.

the bots standard starter left only 2 options - glad it chose the wrong one for a 3
The three central greens give seven options by my count. Four for me today, three yesterday.

A stonking three for me, plus a five and a six in the German and French versions. With them, I am reminded of a phrase I half-remember from somewhere, to do with dancing dogs, I think, that it is not so much that I can do them well (I don't!) as that I do them at all. I wonder if a small vocabulary is little handicap in Wordle, whatever the language, since the solution and allowed guesses are intended to comprise the core of that vocabulary, what most people know when starting out, or might still know when fading out.
350 - 3, 351 - 4. Been a while now since getting a 2 or a 5.

After line two I had 3 possible answers in mind. Naturally it had to be the third.
Is it just my impression, or have these wordles been chosen to be harder lately? It used to be that 3 and 4 were similarly common scores, with occasional frustrating outliers, but lately it seems I've been getting a lot more 5s, as the more 'expected' solution rarely now seems to be the correct one.
Not sure, i haven't been playing enough . I guess they are not reusing words, so they are less obvious in some ways. I'm about symmetric about the 4 guesses

Possibly, however I think it's human nature to avoid double letters like OO etc. Because if you're wrong you haven't tested another possible letter. I quite enjoy the quirky ones.
3/4 of my scores are 3s or 4s, from 150 goes. The 3s just about edge the 4s. The last week has had a 5, a 6 and no 3s, but that is not long enough to see a trend. The week before was all 3s plus a rare 2. **

I am not sure how you define 'expected'.
I did once calculate the frequency of occurrence of the letters in all the words in the Wordle list of solutions, then calculate word scores by totting up their letter scores. I can tell you that going for the highest scoring word on this basis among the remaining possible words after each attempt has not been a good guide.
You just told us today's solution. Tut tut.
> You just told us today's solution. Tut tut.
Well that's cooked your pizza.
Oops. Sorry.
It's alright - I did it around two in the morning.
358, 3/6. Lucky.
> Is it just my impression, or have these wordles been chosen to be harder lately?
Oops. Spoke too soon!

Not a one, but that is my fourth two in fifteen tries on that site. I've only had three of them in ten times as many on the English version.
Mind you, the fact that two of you got it in one today was a massive clue.
John's one was a massive clue for me 😀

Four for me. I wouldn't have got that if it hadn't been the only possibility left.
A relaxed 6! Thought about it earlier but there seemed better possibilities given it was probably the slang definition they were using.
I was disconcerted by that solution - in my mind it's an Italian word, despite being used in music - does anyone use it in any other context? As odd as if the solution was lento. And I was irritated that the English word primp wasn't in the solution set. Grumble grumble...
adjective
informal North American
Of top quality or importance.
i tried largo once- it was accepted but not in the solution list..
...which means it is in the much longer acceptable guesses list. I think that is about 10,000 words long.
Lucky second word too, I'm sure there's other ones you could have tried 😀

No cigar with the third word, but it did narrow the four other possibilities I had thought of to just one.
Heardle is good today. I should have got it one, but picked the wrong song!
yes, it's worth thinking about other possibilties rather than the first word that you think of.
think i had 7 options after line 2 (more than i first thought). 2 had same start letter. 2 had same last letter. one had both these start and end letters- the rational choice and the solution
yeah they all sound the same wouldn't have known until vocals kicked in-bit after my time.

was your starter the one with 3 vowels?
my good start could have ended in tears- 3 possibilities after line 4..
