Anyone else been doing these? I've not been spamming them across Twitter, but I think they're enjoyable enough little puzzles - I've not failed one yet, and I think it's a bit random how "well" one does, but I do quite like things that make me think through my own vocabulary a bit.

In case anyone hasn't come across it, it's a word guessing game based at:
https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/

They post one puzzle a day, you guess a word, it gives green (right letter and place), yellow (right letter wrong place), and black (wrong letter) designations, you get up to six guesses. I think I once had to use all six, mostly I'm getting them in about four.

Today's I managed in three due mainly to luck (it gives you a little readout to show your guess pattern, but not what your words were so as not to give the game away):

I hadn't actually tried one until today though I had seen a lot of people posting about them.

I was quite pleased with three guesses though, yes, I do think there's a certain degree of luck involved!

Today's took four, which I think is more average:

Another four:

My guess distribution is now zero ones, one two, two threes, nine fours, three fives and a six, so four seems to be very heavily the average here.

I forgot to do yesterday's one, but today went well!

[Jubal]

Oh that's impressive Also, wait, how did you get it to do it with white boxes, it always gives me black from the automatic readout?

[Spritelady]

I'm not sure, it just seems to do that when I click share and it copies the pattern for me to paste

[Jubal]

Aha - I'm getting dark boxes because I was using it in dark mode

Had a couple of threes in recent days Though four guesses remains the norm by a mile.

What I actually guessed (conveniently, unlike other social media, we have the joys of spoiler tags here so we can share without spoilering people who've not done it yet:

WHEAT
SHACK
SHARD

I feel like playing Wildermyth might've put me in an agrarian mood.

[Spritelady]

Here's mine! Three and two seem to be my most common number of guesses so far but that may just be luck!

I wonder if I partly overthink these things - like, I'll take strategic guesses to try and work out letter positioning rather than jumping straight for the most likely answer - which then reliably gets fours but rarely shoots for twos.
