@YitzyS - Can you please copy my first post and put it in the wiki?

I am thinking that this spoiler thread should only be for Wordle versions since most players do not do all the different takeoffs (Nerdle, Jewdle, Quordle, Mathle, etc) and so this would indeed spoil it for them when they get around to trying one of the other games.

Is that better? Or should I erase the Yiddish and Hebrew versions?

Yes, thank you, and I would keep ONLY the various versions and archives of Wordle.  For example, I haven't started the Yiddish version yet and have skipped many Hebrew ones so I certainly wouldn't want that spoiled when I come here to look up the current Wordle puzzle discussions.

For example:
#241 (font size 24)

Remember a letter can be used more than once

[YitzyS]

#243 (yesterday)

I saw that many on DDF had trouble getting the second-to-last letter. So when I figured out the other four, I then guessed the most obscure possibility, and I got it right away.

No, I don't call that cheating. I call that resourcefulness - taking clues from previous winner graphs.

Shade
Shake
Shale
Shame
Shape
Share
Shave

Of these, you think shake is most obscure?

Why is the most obscure answer any more likely than an obvious one?

Re: #243 - SLAVE was a potential answer I thought of using when I hade SAE and I probably would have lost if I used it. Not liking the changes.

Shale
Shame
Shape

Shave

I had already done shave, and got a miss on the v.

I had the rest still on the table. A 'k' is the least popular letter next, so I tried it first.

No need to solve, just look in the source. It’s all listed in order. Ruined it for a few days when I realized.

Didn’t it change after the NYT started hosting it?

Why would you need to wait? You can just check today’s.

Does it still start early if you’re in another time zone, or is it now always released at midnight EST?
