BELEAMED UP

Posted: **Sun May 01, 2022 8:58 am**

A question for discussion regarding WORDLE:
What 5-letter word do you think would be the most difficult to guess? My vote: PYGMY.

Posted: **Sun May 01, 2022 11:00 am**

Beamed up at 273!

I mean that had to be the answer, but I am still trying to nail down why.

Maybe not for me....if neither of my first 2 standard starting words come up with anything good, I have 2 words I alternate in the 3rd slot, and one of them is PUDGY.

Beamed up! Attempted downs-only, no-instructions, but had to peek at a few where clues didn’t sufficiently yield the answers without crossing help.

Probably could have gotten the answer without the instructions BUT! I came here to see if anyone solved downs-only, no-instructions, or if inscrutable, but couldn’t help but see the instruction given prominently in bold in the first post

Pls remember the spoiler tags for this angle to Matt’s Week 1’s… I realize it was a copy/paste of Matt’s posting, but it was a bit of a spoiler for this solver

I would have missed the magpie, but I couldn't finish in Downs Only and had to take the easy way out.

Beamed up. Loved Matt’s humor in 59A. His idea for week 5 sounds scary!

Same here. But I'm still hesitant to submit, though I guess there's something to be said for losing a 50 badge on a Week One.

Thanks to a friendly nudge, I was led to see something I didn't notice. Guess it helps to read everything.

Maybe that could become yet another badge - biggest streak blown on a week one

I was delighted to get home last night and discover the week 1/week 5 switcheroo. It means I get to see that

next to my name for at least one week. I actually solved last night but decided to sleep on it before submitting just in case I was wrong.

I also debated trying to knock out the "love letter" badge this week but didn't want it to sound contrived. Maybe I shoulda read today's comics for some ideas before submitting...

I’m on Day 115 playing Wordle, which doubtlessly helped me find this puzzle so easy I was afraid I was missing something more complicated. I have a few friends with whom we share scores daily. One great thing about Wordle is that it’s never going to take more than a few minutes, and you cannot play more than once a day.

I also like Word Hurdle & Square Word, Quordle less so, and beyond that (Wordles times 8 or 16) not happening.

Octordle and Secdecordle have different thought processes entirely. Once you change to that sort of puzzle secdecordle rather easy (but intricate) and fun.

That's a word I don't think I've ever tried in Wordle as a first guess.

Posted: **Sun May 01, 2022 3:46 pm**

It has to be the answer, but I've not yet 53D's why.

It was a crappy/so-so/fantastic first word for today/yesterday/friday/tomorrow. I'd post my wordle results but that might allow someone to back engineer from today/yesterday/friday/tomorrow's answer to the meta. Of course anyone who is capable and willing to do that deserves the nudge and the win but....

Not going into that briar patch, nope.

Thanks to an explanation of how Wordle works by @ship4u I was able to suss the answer.

Will wait until Wednesday to submit, just cuz.

Even though I don't do Wordle, I'm on the leaderboard! It'll be interesting to see if my metanism is the officially "correct" one.

It’s quick, fun, and addictive.
