🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜

I literally went through every combination that could be by guess number 6. Realized it had to be one of those situations but I still couldn't figure out the word. I never heard of it

I "cheated" on this one, because I saw someone's chart who I know what their first word is (same every day).

Guess you don't play Carcassonne - the one I have came with these tiles.

I'm really surprised so many seemed to have got this one so fast. Off DDF, people are going nuts over this one

Took me longer than usual, but so did the NYT Mini, so I assumed I was just overtired.  But maybe this one was especially difficult because .... oops.  Later.  Maybe some are still solving.

Interesting. It did take me a few minutes, but after my initial guesses there really weren’t too many word options available. I mean I see I posted results at 12:06 so it couldn’t have taken too long.

Yup, by the time I was done with my 4th try I had identified two letters and eliminated 12 others, there wasn’t really anything left:

Wordle 208 5/6*

⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜
⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨
⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜
🟩⬜⬜🟩⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I played extra hard mode, where I used every identified letter in a new position until I placed it, and also avoided using any letters that have already been eliminated.

I actually quit the NYT mini last night after not getting it for a few minutes, came back this morning and got it done

Longest it took me so far (4:49) so I guess it was a harder one.

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Harder than usual because of the obtuse "anagram" clues

+1, there's no way to know which go where until you figure out the rest of the puzzle

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
