  2. Since I managed a birdie I am happy to open the batting by reposting on this new thread. Though by mixing my sports I may have scored an own goal.

    Filth.
    Might have to write a letter.

    • I mean seriously I had [_ORA_ ] and there are no words that do that with the letters I had left, except for this totally made-up one. I actually couldn’t finish it until it had shaken off every option I tried before I lucked on this one.

      (all words are made up, just wanted to point that out before anyone else did)

  43. I was reasonably pleased just to get a bogey – less so now I’ve seen others’ efforts.

    More importantly, this gives me a Max Streak of 100 not out. A century…

    ψThe Antichristψ determined that my 3🍺🍺🍺er run came to an end so it has to be a 🥸Lodey🥸 or 4🍺🍺🍺🍺er for me.

  76. Possibly a record gap between drive, approach shot, and put. We got in after midnight after a show last night and I did the first two line before going to bed, then made the birdie when I woke up.

    Weird one, this. Luckily I putted myself out of trouble.

    For the previous day, #666, I thought the word might be DEVIL and then I would be carried shoulder high to the 19th hole. I was wrong.

  83. Like others I had a slow start. A very, very slow start.

    Kin’ hell, knock me down with a kipper (no feather’s available), seems I was very, very lucky. 💥

    • Hi @Jim, yes I’m certain it’s cropped up before. There are only 2,315 solution words available, we are now on Wordle 671 so there’s no need for repeats just yet. I think I’ve been doing it since around Wordle 250 (I’ve checked, back in Feb, 22) and more than one word has been repeated. I don’t think it really matters, we don’t know what’s going to crop up and so it goes…

      When I looked up the number of words available it was also stated that there are 10,600+ ‘guesses’ or ‘support’ words that are also accepted.

      If you are able to use thesev10,000+ words as guesses has anyone any idea why they aren’t accepted as solutions?

      Over to you lot…

      • My computer (I don’t have an AI – it’s banned in Italy, much to my chagrin) estimated that Thursday 21 October 2027 would be Wordlehog Day, when all words will have been used. I was very much looking forward to that day. I was hoping that everyone, other than the severely bewildered, would obviously give up playing it rather than begin the cycle anew. Now my hopes and dreams have been dashed by the information that words can be and are repeated.

  134. A humbling bogey ends the run, if two can be said to constitute a run, of eagles.

      • “Mike’s shoulder”??? What you fuck out about Your Lodeship?

        It’s the only word that made sense after line one.

        You need to use your imagination for your opening word instead of using LEAST every other day.

        • Oh for heaven’s sake, Baron! A joke. Everybody else bar you and Mike struggled today.. hence the (admittedly juvenile) assertion you two had somehow conspired.
          And by the way as oft repeated, I use a different starter every day. Usually it’s the first five letter word I hear after switching on Radio 4.
          I’m more than mightily impressed by you getting it in 2 and, silly me, have no idea whatsoever what your opening word was that led you to say “only solution that made sense”. Maybe you can publish your workings tomorrow so we can all learn how to crack this Wordle thingie.
          Respectfully and admiringly, Lodes.

          • No offence was taken Lodey, I really didn’t have a clue what you fucked about, I was unaware of Mike’s effort, I’ve just had a look and still don’t know.

            I’m well aware you use a different starter every day, you’ve told me more than once, hence my juvenile attempt at winding you up. Seems it worked you silly old fool.

            FYI, as you can see I had the middle letter confirmed on line one, the letter to the right of the correct letter on the line one I decided it would go to the left on line two. Following that and the letters that were excluded there was really only one solution.

            I do have a 🍺 non-honours 🍺 bachelor’s degree in 😎 English 🍺 Language 😅 so that may explain my genius 🤣

              • @Lodestone-of-Wrongness:

                Re-read or read AGAIN (a handy starter word tip) what I said above Lodey.

                I don’t know how you go about solving Wordle, here’s my example for yesterday’s answer – METRO, I had the correct middle letter – T.

                I had E to the right of T in my first line. So it appeared logical to placed E to the left of T on my second line. So I thought what letter could go before _ E T _ _? Only two initially came to mind P (the word being PETTY) and M for METRO. I chose the latter, why? You are probably asking, because it would confirm or eliminate more letters if incorrect. I didn’t need to go any further because as we know it was correct for a 2🍺🍺er!

                I have just deleted a much stronger response to you Lodey but I thought better of it. This is for your own information I will no longer respond to you on this thread.

                • Jesus H! Part of the attraction of this ongoing thread is as well as praise there is also merriment, pulling of legs etc. Hence my joke re you and Mike somehow collaborating. A joke.
                  I then asked how you had so brilliantly managed metro from your first line. There are myriad other words you could have used so, in the spirit of sharing tips (as per Junior’s separate thread) I was curious as to your deductive process. From what you now say above there was more than a little luck involved – kudos to you. Fair dos. I could say stop being a dick but I’ll refrain and similarly won’t engage you on this thread again. Jeeze.

  199. A slow bogie. It was one of the where I had multiple option after filling 3 spaces so I’ll take that.
