Anyone who had more than two ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 on this one was guessing words that they didn't know were words :colbert:

Well S, T, C, and Y all come to mind? Some would commonly be eliminated in the first guess though.


Anyway I had a different all the letters are gone panic to enjoy:

As someone pretty new to Wordle, what starting word do people use? I’ve mainly been using CLEAT but a relative swears by STEAM.

That's pretty much what I do, usually whatever I see around the room when I start - since this is usually at breakfast I've used BAGEL quite a bit. Not the most efficient method but I've only lost twice over 250 games or so so it works well enough for me.

I like to mix it up. Nothing too crazy. Usually have an E, R, S or a T in it.

I start with ghost and not just because it's the spooky month. personally I don't think starting with words containing E helps all that much since it's so common and easy enough to work into subsequent guesses.

though I guess it would've helped today

THE TAXES! THE FINGER THING MEANS THE TAXES!

I used to start with a good word back at the beginning of WordleMania but now my first guess is always PENIS.

I blew it on today's Redactle, I guessed "dimensional" at word 12 but didn't put it together until 43.

Today's Squaredle was fun.
