whoowee! didn’t see that one comin’.
had all of the power tools out for this grid.
knew we were close to a 10% repeat but whoosh!, sure wasn’t looking for one in the 800’s.
even had to close my eyes and roll the π²π² for the very last entry, dropping the “m” in the second slot instead of a “w” (swile?π€·ββοΈ…had to dig for that definition).
in any event, pleased to stay out of the abyss today, even if just by the hair of my chinny chin chin.
I tried SEINE after SLIDE but it was not accepted. SEINE has a separate meaning from the river: a type of fishing net. So it had to be SMILE, another repeat solution (#830).
Good βοΈ/π to all!

Prof. Mike pointed out that SEINE was probably declined because I was playing in hard mode and needed to use the L from SALET.

I’ve been using CHIMP as my first word guess for a while now, hoping to eventually get wordle in 1.. no luck with that today, but from the green “I” & yellow “M” – Smile just happened to be my next instinctive guess, so yay for random wordle in 2!! (& according to my stats it’smy 20th wordle in 2! :D) – Many days lately I just go with my quick gut guesses before checking if it’s been used before – I’m glad today was one of those days! π

Was your first guess STILE?
You didnβt say.
Eric’s reply to JD came into the system email:
“Yes, I always start with it. And itβs never been the solution, so someday maybe Iβll get my second in 1. (The first was GRATE, long ago.)”
Wow!
Congrats!
Thanks!

Well, because of this REPEAT, I got another 4. 5 in a row. The end May is cursed for me. I need to get into June.
ROATE left me with 16 words.
LIEGE should have left me with one word. SLIDE.

Exactly Jeb. This rocked my wordle! I was hoping SANDY was an aberration. I know nyt had to add words back in, but don’t give us a pattern that holds most of the time. I’ll keep playing because I share daily with a family chat and friend chat. Oh and I guess there is that 1328 day current streak I have going. But nyt is doing to Wordle what disney is doing to star wars.π₯

So – I always just start with a random word that pops into my head at that moment.
I donβt check if itβs been used before and given there are repeats thatβs even more relevant now.
So – no great science – I got lucky.
Then thought it was SMILE and could not work out an alternative and only checked here to see if it had been used recently.
It had around
#850#830 , but given I couldnβt think of anything and knowing the repeat rule – just locked it in !At
#850#830, that’s a year 3 past use repeat. The odd-makers will have much to discuss today. Congrats on the lock in!830

looked at sooo many possibilities, plus keeping a sea of green, not taking 4 guesses, also trying to figure out if it was too soon for a pu… etc. etc.
