Wordle, daily word-guessing game

[Virginia]

I am so angry. I just missed wordle by one letter. I had all 4 and didn't get the 5th letter.

[RandomThought]

First I played wordle, then I tried absurdle, and yesterday I moved into Dordle (where you solve two five letter words at once. It is challenging Only registered and activated users can see links., Click Here To Register...

Welcome back! Thanks for adding to the word games. I tried Dordle, and it's challenging as you say. I got one word in 5 tries and the other word in 8.

[RandomThought]

It feels like dordle kinda helps you solve the second as you solve the first...

I laughed when I played absurdle and think its adversarial nature a bit of a hoot!

thanks for the welcome back sometimes it feels like I never left

[agate]

People have been inquiring about you.

In Dordle I decided to solve the second one first. I didn't know the word was a word. Playing these can enrich a person's vocabulary.

[RandomThought]

I was solving the right hand first and then experimented with solving the left first. It works the same.

It feels nice to have been missed a little. Maybe I'm overdue for one of my long winded stories !

[agate]

Many people don't really leave here. They may lurk or cower or cringe but they surface now and then.

Long-winded stories are welcome, at least IMHO. Brian's escapades are just as important as anyone else's escapades. If there haven't been any escapades lately, are you watching anything interesting? Hearing any good music? Reading any interesting books? Cooking something tasty? Or just watching what's going on outside your windows?

You'll find posts here where people are concerned about recent thefts of catalytic converters. I mean, anything goes. Even catalytic converters. (Another one was reported stolen from this building's parking lot just yesterday.)

I tried to catch up by reading the January thread; Ive really been missing out on the goings on around here!

I've promised the youngin to lighten her burden by chauffeuringOnly registered and activated users can see links., Click Here To Register...her to a music event this afternoon where she will perform with her flute.

Later I'll write up a few of the recent adventures of the RandomThought family....

(by-the-way) I had to look up the spelling of chauffeuring and since I copied and pasted it it shows up in blue, bold, italics...go figure ! Oh, I see; It was a link to the spelling of the word.

[agate]

Brian, congratulations to your daughter on her flute event. Will she be playing solo or in a group? Nice that you'll be in the audience cheering. Playing the flute isn't exactly easy, or at least that's my impression, but my experience has been only with recorders and shepherd's pipes, which seem to be much less difficult.

[RandomThought]

Thanks Agate,

The yougin is both a flautist and a violinist. Cathy and I have attended many performances over the years. We also enjoy her practicing around the house and in better weather around the yard. Given Covid restrictions I was not allowed to attend today's event. It was a "solo ensemble" and was adjudicated. They felt no need to have my germs in attendance.

BTW the youngin is an excellent wordle player. She and I compete to a certain extent. I have twice solved wordle in two; the youngin assures me that the kind of idiot I am is certainly not of the savant variety.

[Virginia]

Got today's word in 3 tries.

[SuzE-Q]

I barely scraped through today's, too many similar words and I think I tried every alternative first.

[Lazarus]

I am using hello word? That Agate had mentioned. When I have done the wordle of the day I switch to that if I am just sitting around. I like it…stops me from grazing on food!

[Virginia]

Funny Linda that you mentioned food and playing word games. I was thinking the same thing about wordle as I worked on it this afternoon - keeps me from wanting to go into the kitchen.

[agate]

I do that too, Linda--do my daily Wordle and move on to hellowordl, which SuzE-Q found for us. I also drop in at Dordle, which Random Thought introduced us to. If I feel up to an exasperating challenge, I go on to Absurdle. These games are more interesting than a MahJong tiles game I've been wasting time on.

It's not really wasting time if you have to wait on hold for something though. You can play any of these games while waiting around on the phone.
