My first time playing I got a 2. I'm solidly in the 4 after playing some hundred rounds. (Link below for playing random seemingly endless rounds.)

I've been playing where I use the prior winning word as the starter word for the next round. Makes it more interesting than just using the same tried-n-true 1st guesses over and over. Although, I sometimes make an exception if there are letter repeats.

Much depends on that first word!
I’ve still never done it in less than 3. Most of the time it’s 5.

Wasted 30 minutes going through various iterations and finally said to myself, try it, what have you got to lose. Voila! It worked.

Can't figure out how to post finished puzzle, but got it in 4.

Read further but be warned there is a spoiler:



Did not know you could use a letter twice.

It's easy to share your results: Once you've successfully or unsuccessfully done the puzzle for the day, you're invited to share your Wordle journey for the day. If you tweet the image, it looks like this...

Have been using my Window's based laptop and there really isn't a way to copy or cut & paste.

In the upper-right of the screen on your solution, there should be two icons. One is a "settings" wheel, the other
is three blocks, a tall one in the middle. That's the one to click. An information screen will appear with a button that says "share". Click that, and the image (like the one above) is automatically copied. Then, in a DU post (or wherever), Ctrl-V will paste it.

I probably didn’t realize the same thing you didn’t realize. I got the first 2 letters quickly and ultimately finished in 4 tries, but my fourth guess was out of sheer frustration because I couldn’t find any letter combination that worked.

I now have a love/hate relationship with Wordle.
