I’ve been doing some kamikaze Wordling on the archive they’ve just put up, not giving a toss how many lines I do it in or whether I bust. I use the previous winning word as my start word, no matter how eccentric (and often get congratulated by the Bot for my bravery). The main finding from this in-depth research is that it doesn’t matter a damn what word you start with, although if the winning word contains an X or a Z they’re unlikely to come up two days running. It’s as much about eliminating letters as finding the right ones. This will be a statement of the bleedin’ obvious to some of you, but anyway I’m going to abandon my slavish attachment to the one start word and see where that gets me this month.
If you do a deep Google search you will stumble across mind-numbingly boring statistical sites devoted to best strategies re succeeding at Wordle. All agree one thing – if you want to consistently get as close to a daily 3 as possible then your starter word is, over time, critical. Apparently the “best” starters (all found in the Wordle dictionary) are
βsaletβ 3.42117
βreastβ 3.42246
βtraceβ 3.43276
βcrateβ 3.43276
βslateβ 3.43462.
Personally, and it is personally, I think using safe starters takes the fun out of the game (rather like those annoying fuckers who know all the obscure Scrabble words) but hey, ho each to his own.
I will stick to my patented “first 5 letter word on Radio 4” strategy which as you all know usually results in me welcoming Spoonie back where he belongs.
When I said doesn’t matter a damn, I meant gives you a consistent run of birdies, pars and bogeys. Clearly eagles or holes in one will be down to sheer blind luck. Maybe I’ll give salet a go, since it obviously gives a massive advantage over stale or least… π
Just think how many times you would win this comp if you used reast (which as any fule knows is “To
dry smoke fish or meat). Or you could throw caution to the wind, live a little and use the first starter that comes into your mind each morning. Forget about winning and trophies and adulation, come battle it out with me for Loser of the Year….
Thereβs studies been done that found itβs easier to do yesterdays times crossword than todays. Evidently β¦ and bear with me here β¦ itβs connected with sheep. They found sheep learned to roll across cattle grids on their backs and then they found other sheep in other parts of the country learned it too so scientists began to believe there was some kind of subconscious collective experience learning process involved.
(Maverick) Rupert Sheldrake’s “morphic resonance” idea? The variation I heard was that some scientific experiments become more likely to succeed – or rather, give a certain outcome – once somebody somewhere else has independently performed the same experiment and achieved the same outcome.
You playing the boy’s version – us real men take the first five letter word no matter what: igloo or xylem, we don’t care. We roll the dice with a carefree laugh (and then go collect our spoon).
Just need the Kipling couplet now… “if you can meet with triumph and disaster”… But two guesses which included letters I’d already ruled out: a special kind of stupid. However, happy to be the clear and sole occupier of the wooden spoon slot.
It’s like watching me take my first Wordle steps. Oh look, he’s fallen over again. Ignore the laughs and the behind-the -handkerchief snortles. It’s only a game after all. Yeah, right – only a game….
The word “eunoia”, meaning alertness of mind and will, contains all the vowels. As does the Italian word “aiuole” (flowerbeds). They both have six letters though, so both unusable in this game.
Nobody likes a smart arse who joins in just because he scores a birdie and an eagle on the first two holes like he’s some sort of pro or something when all he is is a smart arse and nobody likes him….
Some of us have double bogeys to find.
I’m thinking anyone who uses ‘stare’ every day as their starter might do quite well today. You would have imagined the Wordle Lady might have thought of something else …
Can’t wait for Leedsboy to post, the tension is killing me
Well done for going with the less obvious one. The last letter being wrong i like a tee shot that rolls around the hole and leaves you a Dennis Wise putt*.
I have a different dream. I see Lodey a couple of shots behind with one to play, turning on the radio, hearing some abstruse word that no-one would ever think of using – NYMPH perhaps – sticking to his principles and using it as his starter to nail a hole in one and win the tournament. At which point he falls to the floor sobbing mobbed by admiring followers chanting his name. Or something like that.
Iβm sorry Lodey but youβve had your disgustingly thorough way with me already in this round. Rule 23.4.a forbids another invasive probing so you can take those gloves off and pester someone else.
Hello,
Hah, not in rehab, just this moment got the internet back. We moved house on Friday and have been rather busy unpacking and further to that, BT totally messed us about with reconnecting.
Hey, ho, Iβll rejoin in July.
And so, here’s the current state of the leaderboard after the first 9 holes:
-7 hubert rawlinson
-3 Leedsboy, Jim, chiz
-2 Lodestone of Wrongness, thecheshirecat, Black Celebration
-1 Max the Dog, mikethep
Par Steve Walsh, fortuneight, Paul Hewston
+1 SteveT
+2 Clive
+5 Diffugere Nives
All above aboard your personal yacht where we can sniff drugs and partake in sordid sex? I don’t think so. Some of us play by The Rules. They’re not our Rules but they are The Rules. I, for one, disdainfully reject your offer of pleasurable sex with young (almost) virginal maidens and continue to Play The Game like what it’s meant to be played – Badly
Once again you playfully play with words. I demand satisfaction. No Seconds, just me, thee and Monsieur Wordle, tomorrow at dawn. I, for one, know that with Radio 4’s help I shall triumph.
I shall be dining with Mr Walsh on the 12th. If the march of progress continues in this fashion, I will be requesting a drugs and alcohol test on his caddy.
And his caddy will fail.
Hello Steve
I had a birdie on Tuesday to go -3, and then the wheels fell off yesterday. You have me down at +7 for yesterday’s hole but shooting a 7 gives +4, no?
Sorry, Jim. You’re absolutely right and it should be a +3. I’ve corrected the spreadsheet and you are restored to respectability alongside Max and Lodey.
Apparently, some out of touch elitist Judge overruled the Disqualify Hubes Verdict citing the decidedly dodgy “You can’t chuck him out just cos he’s leading” defence….
Bah
Somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you’re no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know: the world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!
I quite like it when the first word has very little because it means I can get my second word out (with subtle variations). Today was textbook for my strategy. Iβm written this to piss off the free jazz expressionism strategy that Lodes insists is the only true wayβ¦.
Itβs funny because the second shot still took some thought. All of the options I considered had to be ruled out as they included one of the two discarded letters from the first guess.
Just cos I’m crap at this game doesn’t necessarily mean I don’t understand “strategies drive processes” . That I don’t in fact understand “strategies drive processes” is however correct. I’d also like to thank Radio 4 for this morning’s starter which, for once, was rather useful. I also thought my third guess was better than the solution but I would wouldn’t I?
My fault entirely. Three guesses were more obscure than the solution which I simply couldn’t see. Silly Old Lodes. Guess I’m making a late run at Spoonie
If that remark was supposed to put pressure on me, it was out of keeping with the amiable spirit of our competition. I shall be referring you to the stewards if I end up with the spoon.
Well I have had two 6’s and a 2 this week so lord only knows whats going to happen tomorrow.

Salet is 3.42117, stale is a disappointing 3.43462. Do pay attention.
How does STARE rate?
Worse than REAST, evidently. Whatever that is.
Stare is a totally mediocre 3.51227. You’d be a fool to use stare….
I looked long and hard before deciding it was a good start word.
Just think how many times you would win this comp if you used reast (which as any fule knows is “To
dry smoke fish or meat). Or you could throw caution to the wind, live a little and use the first starter that comes into your mind each morning. Forget about winning and trophies and adulation, come battle it out with me for Loser of the Year….
But the first word I think of each morning is Stare.
The first word I think of every morning is WHIZZ.

Same here Lodesy – whatever five letter word I hear at the time on radio with two or more vowels and no repeated letters…
You playing the boy’s version – us real men take the first five letter word no matter what: igloo or xylem, we don’t care. We roll the dice with a carefree laugh (and then go collect our spoon).
So does that mean TODAY is quite often your first word? That probably isn’t a bad one to use – though I’m sure you’ll tell me otherwise.
Depends what time I wake up .. sometimes it’s Today, sometimes it’s Clare Balding Rambling, sometimes it’s How To Identify Buzzards In Wales

* a nasty 5 footer.
As you said, it was a 50:50 and they’re both “real” words so there’s no cleverness in guessing right.
Very good re Dennis Wise. What a thoroughly horrible person he was (and probably still is).

Doing this mostly for Lodey’s enjoyment!
Just looked at it – shurely shome mistake?? Does not compute…..system shutdown, abandon ship, space time continuum is broken
I’m looking forward to Lodey taking a three shot lead into the 18th and then, inexplicably, making some poor decisions.
I have a different dream. I see Lodey a couple of shots behind with one to play, turning on the radio, hearing some abstruse word that no-one would ever think of using – NYMPH perhaps – sticking to his principles and using it as his starter to nail a hole in one and win the tournament. At which point he falls to the floor sobbing mobbed by admiring followers chanting his name. Or something like that.

All above aboard your personal yacht where we can sniff drugs and partake in sordid sex? I don’t think so. Some of us play by The Rules. They’re not our Rules but they are The Rules. I, for one, disdainfully reject your offer of pleasurable sex with young (almost) virginal maidens and continue to Play The Game like what it’s meant to be played – Badly

If the sequence has continued as far as the 13th, everyone is going to be using STARE from the 14th tee

Genuinely thought I was on for a birdie after the first 2 shots too.
I’m too upset to speak to the media right now. There will be no further comment.
Sorry to intrude, Jim, but what was your score yesterday?
He may be some time . ..
Better.
Hello Steve
I had a birdie on Tuesday to go -3, and then the wheels fell off yesterday. You have me down at +7 for yesterday’s hole but shooting a 7 gives +4, no?
Or even a +3, I’m not sure.
Sorry, Jim. You’re absolutely right and it should be a +3. I’ve corrected the spreadsheet and you are restored to respectability alongside Max and Lodey.

Inspired second guess which deserved better. I see you are a mere 11 shots behind Leedsboy, aka Mr Smartypants…
Lord knows what strides Hubes is wearing then!
Pay attention, Hubes has been disqualified
I’ve had no official confirmation of disqualification so I’m still in contention, though I haven’t a clue where I am.
Shunning the plus fours I’m striding out.
Apparently, some out of touch elitist Judge overruled the Disqualify Hubes Verdict citing the decidedly dodgy “You can’t chuck him out just cos he’s leading” defence….
Bah
Somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you’re no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know: the world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!
You, sir, are permanently banned from this thread. No appeals, no tear-jerking namby-pamby weals of despair. Go and forever more be silent
I agreed with all of that. Apart from the last sentence. Heβs not you know.

Fine tee shot sir.
I quite like it when the first word has very little because it means I can get my second word out (with subtle variations). Today was textbook for my strategy. Iβm written this to piss off the free jazz expressionism strategy that Lodes insists is the only true wayβ¦.
Itβs funny because the second shot still took some thought. All of the options I considered had to be ruled out as they included one of the two discarded letters from the first guess.

Strategies drive processes Lodes. Keep up.
Just cos I’m crap at this game doesn’t necessarily mean I don’t understand “strategies drive processes” . That I don’t in fact understand “strategies drive processes” is however correct. I’d also like to thank Radio 4 for this morning’s starter which, for once, was rather useful. I also thought my third guess was better than the solution but I would wouldn’t I?
I couldnβt resist some management speak. I felt it would be appreciated by you especially.
I suspect you third guess was better than the answer which was, I thought, dull and hard work.
Agreed (except for the hard work bit – it all, for once, flowed easily. Unlike my ******* redacted)
I was being deeply amusing based on the phrase βdull and hard workβ and the actual word.
See, I’m crap at this gameπ
