1. I hope they don't mess it up

It's a perfect little mind exercise.

2. That was fun... got it on the second try...

I play the Wordle Archives, sometimes I want to play more than one game.

3. I've played about 25 games today...

At:

mywordle.strivemath.com

It's free, and you can play as much as you want.

4. Thanks for posting this!

5. It's free so far

I'm sure that will change. The Times didn't spend all that money to give it away for free.

6. I think I must be dimwitted, but I don't really get how to play it.

Is the end result supposed to be one, specific word and you eliminate letters by taking guesses?

8. You guess a five letter word.

If a letter turns black, it’s not in the word.

If a letter turns yellow, it’s in the word but in one of the other four spaces.

If a letter turns green, it’s in the word and in the right location.

10. So do you backspace and try again or go to the second, third, etc. line?

[Vinca]

12. Never mind the last question. I finally figured it out. Didn't do very well for a person

who routinely does challenging crossword puzzles. 6 tries.

9. Pretty much.

Kinda like "Wheel of Fortune" (sans Vanna/Sajak), and the "hangman" game, or maybe the old "Mastermind" game, if you're familiar with that.

You make a wild guess at what the word is. Computer tells you what letters you have wrong, ie, not in the word (gray); letters you have right, but in the wrong place (yellow); and letters you have correct in the right place (green). Then you adjust your guess accordingly, lather, rinse, repeat until you either get the answer, or run out of guesses (you get six).

7. I can't get to it now.....

Damn.

11. Don't feel bad, I have two letters in the wrong place, one in the right place and two missing and I

still can't figure it out...I prefer Suduko!

[brooklynite]

13. Why can't you get to it?

[lastlib]

14. IDK. Clicked on the updated bookmark......

tab went white....

15. I'm addicted to Wordle

At my advanced age, I need to do puzzles like this to keep my brain from getting too dull.

[Brainfodder]

16. I've seen a Wordle game and sequels on Steam, very cheap.

Just saying, if it's the same game and you are really into it.

17. I did better today...Got it in three tries.
