OK. I've been avoiding this wordle malarkey but as a result of Jeremyp's post I succumbed and tried it:

Wordle 225 3/6

⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
🟩⬜⬜🟨⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Which Wordle told me was impressive. I did not know impressive was a synonym for guessing.

Three guesses is pretty good. I normally get it in four.

Complete fluke. I did a silly word association that worked. Won't happen again.

I also joined the craze a dew days ago!
Got it in 4 today.
Three is best so far.

I didn't get it at all today. By the time I got close, there were too many letters that could start the four letters following it.

Yeah, I got lucky. Once I got the last four, there were at least four possible answers and I nailed it with the second one.

It took me longer to get today, but I think that was because my first word was a poor choice.

Wordle 227 3/6

⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜
🟨🟨🟩⬜🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I read that based on the letters that appear most frequently in words, the best first word to use is 'LATER' so I tried using that.

Took all 6 goes to get it right today - as yesterday my first word contained no correct letters in any position.

Quite irritating. In my second guess, I forgot to take into account I had one letter in the right position already. I could have got it in three (or two with some luck).

Do you have a standard 'first guess'? I always lead with 'arise'...

I think that there are maybe certain words that would have a be better chance of containing some relevant letters - my first word today was 'waken', which was useless.
