    So exciting to see the first three green squares appear. And so anti-climactic to see the white one

      Another day when I managed to solve Quordle in as many turns as Wordle. Go figure.

    Another disappointment and another shot dropped.

  97. The bot reckoned I’d got it down to a 50/50 chance of a par, but I managed a third word and then still needed 2 more goes.

    Clubs in the lake. I’m off to the bar. Might need a late tee time tomorrow.

  111. Three shots with the eliminator to save going bust.

    This ain’t Wordle, it’s alphabet soup.

  121. Because of the exclusion of letters, the odds of you getting the right answer shorten with each attempt. So to go through four potential words from a ‘three green’ start without accidentally stumbling upon the correct answer is an incredible achievement – far more impressive than scoring a two, I would suggest

    Thank heavens for that. I’m quite close to a new max streak…

    Actually benefitted from a poor tee and fairway shots – eliminated some of the letters that might have tripped me up at the end.

  135. I missed the boat on this thread unless you lot are prepared to take on trust that I eagled yesterday’s first hole as I mentioned (but didn’t post) at the tail end of the other thread.

    I didn’t really get this; I really got par. When I copied first time, it reckoned I’d failed in 6. Well, I wasn’t having that, so I played again and it couldn’t remember that I existed.

  181. I really got a hole-in-one today, but wanted to see what a 6 looked like.

      I completed this Wordle in Clitheroe rather earlier than your train arrived and then headed off to the Hodder Valley which, happily, has no golf courses.

    Always disappointing to open this thread and find that my hard-won 4 is actually a bogey.
