28. You were very close to getting it in three.

When I checked the stats earlier, the average number of guesses was 5.1.

[livetohike]

38. I never guess right on multiple choice. I'm lucky

that I got it at all .

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

39. I'm glad I knocked out the H on guess #3.

Trying to solve those multiple choices can be fiendish!

I have a hunch I should have gone for the double letter first!

NY Times average 5.1 and Wordlebot in 4 with a very strange second word.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

29. Wordle bot loves PLATE on the first guess.

⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ suite

It seems my new starter words are working for me so far.

[KarenS]

13. Please don't take offense,,,,

but I'm going to say you are a smarty-pants today anyway


and maybe it is time to take a test run at a new starting word for me!!

[markodochartaigh]

16. My starting words are

party and then louie. Then at least I have all of the vowels.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

27. I used TONER today.

Guessing HUNKY on the 3rd guess gave me the first letter and led to HUNCH on the 4th guess.

I’ve been working on the spelling bee for a while and I decided to take a break and check out the latest posts here on DU.

[megapuzzler]

32. Ha! none taken

I was lucky my second word started with "h" or I would have been in multiple choice hell, too. My starter words this past year were "pious" and "leary", which usually got me a 4 or 5 and sometimes a 3. My son-in-law and daughter each have 40 and 35 two-fers respectively, while I've only had 5 this past year. So I figured it was time to switch -- still have all the vowels repped in two words, for whatever that's worth.

[Delphinus]

15. Ooh,

I like your opening words. I've been using adieu and cloth or ochre.

[megapuzzler]

33. I just switched to them this week

and so far they've been great.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

30. Nicely done!

Going with a “U” on the first guess was a good “HUNCH”.

[megapuzzler]

34. Thanks!

My heart sank when I saw just the H and had only eliminated 2 vowels. But I got lucky.
