Post Edited: 25.06.2022 @ 14:01 PM by Rick Fatpete said: Thank you My vocabulary must be much more limited than I thought then There was a day not long after they'd taken it over where people who'd loaded the site that day got the new answer (AROMA) and those who'd left the tab open for a few days got the original (AGORA). We are talking very obscure words, as well as a few the NYT thought might be offensive. | |||

Fatpete said: Probably in most people's opinion, I wonder if they have changed the rules ? No. In fact, when the NYT took it over, they removed many of the more obscure answers. | |||

| Today I got the wrong middle letter (oo_oo style) twice before the right one, even though it was the first possibility I thought of, because I thought the others more likely. Bah. | |||

Fatpete said: Worth the effort though. Do you vary your first word or have a favourite ? Wordle king Handsome Jeff varies his but I use the same one as I have a complementary back-up word for it. I usually start RAISE, MOUTH If you want to increase the challenge, some people play to always start with yesterday's answer. | |||

| 3 in 3:52 today, and thinking of the third guess took about 3:45 of that. | |||

| The Sunday workouts continue, brief attempts to stop my bra size increasing. I've taken the squats out because I'm playing table tennis either "in real" or in VR almost every day, and that's more than enough for my poor old knees. As you were. | |||

| When we were at home we were teaching live by Zoom on our standard timetables, so basically the same. | |||

| I suspect that those who had the alternate word either did it very early (before it was changed) or already had the tab open. I always kept a tab open with it in the days before the NYT bought it, and shortly afterwards got a word (Agora) that most didn't, as the NYT killed it for being too obscure, but I still had the old code. You will get American spellings (only), though, it's an American game. | |||
