"Nuff Said

Do You "Wordle"?

    Someone asked me that question several days back. I had to admit I had never heard the word, but soon found out it was a word game that you could play for free (so far) on the internet.

   I searched for Wordle on the Internet and the search gave me a possible hit, "Daily Word Game" which I duly searched for and came up with the powerlanguage.co.uk, which I clicked on and there was the game ready to be played.

   Picture a grid with 5 boxes in each of 6 lines:

   1. Put a 5 letter word in the top line and hit enter

   2. You will see the result of the word you chose...Any letter that you put in that was correct in the box you put it in will be shown in Green, any letter that you put in that was correct, but in an incorrect box, will be shown in Yellow. Letters that were not correct will be shown in Black.

   3. Taking the information you gathered from the first word, you choose another word and hit enter. Again you get the colors as before, seeking to determine what 5 letter word is the answer. Keeping any green letter in its box and moving any yellow letter to a new box, while not using any letter that has turned up black, guess a new word.

   4. You have correctly guessed the answer word when all boxes are green.

   5. You have 6 guesses to determine the answer.

A new puzzle is available each day.

Try it, you might like it.

   An Example: This morning I put in a 5 letter word. The result showed 1 green letter in box 1 of line 1, the rest were black.

   I chose another word, using the correct green letter in block 1 of line 2 and using 4 new letters that had not been used. 

   The result of this second guess was 3 green letters, 1 in block 1 of line 2, 1 in box 3 and 1 in box 5.

   Another guess in line 3 with the 3 green letters in their same boxes, and two new letters used in boxes 2 and 4.

   Luckily for me, my two new letters in boxes 2 and 4 both turned up green and so I had 5 green boxes in line 3 and bingo, I had correctly identified the right word.

   All the above is clear to me, but I know that directions without playing may seem hard. That is why I say "Try it and see".

   This morning in Chattanooga it is 24 with a wind chill of 18.

   A great day to work a new puzzle.
