What's the Wordle?!

yup.

 

I will say that one of the fake out clues in Connections today, which ended up being correct for the purple category, made me giggle.

 

Have fun with Wordle today folks!

 

I got 3 green letters with my third guess and stared at it for 5 minutes before I even came up with a fourth guess. Which was wrong. A few more minutes and I guessed it correctly on the fifth try (the Bot said there were only two solutions after my third guess). I have never once used that word and doubt I have heard it used more than a couple of times.

 

lucky that my letters really just forced me to throw random letters in after three tries. Finally solved in four, but yes - took a long time to solve.

 

Got it in four but I needed some help from a performance enhancing anagram generator. I actually had it narrowed down to one word without realizing but with my spelling, I’d never have gotten there.

 

Got it in five, but it took a minute. I used a throwaway guess on No. 4 that didn't help so I didn't want to use another one on the fifth.

 

Got it in four -- probably was helped by seeing this thread first and approaching with caution.

 

Connections sometimes pisses me off. Sometimes it makes me laugh, like one of today's answers. I imagine many puzzlers had to have one of the answers explained to them. WHAT????? Heck one of the categories isn't exactly something that might come to them - at least when I think of the puzzlers I hear doing the Will Shortz bit on Morning Edition.
