Anyone played Wordle?

This thread really doesn't belong in the Puzzles forum.
It's not setting a puzzle for participants to solve, it's a discussion about a topic of general interest, which just happens to be a word game. It could equally have been a discussion about cat videos or coffee.

I disagree, It is a word game that belongs in Posers & Puzzles.

So send feedback and STFU

Hard core sudoku style Wordle:

My daughter said since the NYT took over Wordle they removed 2 words P****, an obscene term for female genitalia and W****, an obscene term for a prostitute. She wasn't clear if they were words already used or were upcoming.
Anyone else shed some light on this?

Not sure where it says the number of the puzzle?

I use Opera web browser on a desktop PC -- maybe some part of that copies or pastes the puzzle differently than other browsers.

(P.S. -- I'm trying to get this post just right before the 5th edit.)

@Suzianne
If I have it right, you are looking for the last word to match the day's word and then use any word to start then go to the next box trying to get down to the last target word?

I see a game called wordle for my smart phone, installed it but it doesn't sound anything like the wordle you talk about, it gives a 3X3 matrix of letters you use to make as many words as possible.

Sounds like a rip off to me.

I play one called Word Planet and that is exactly the same, 6 or 7 letters and a crossword lineup with no words in it till you make a matching word.

Nice find, Crowley!
If wordle doesn't drive you crazy, "quordle" will!
I'm not sure why you called it sudoku style. I don't see a relationship.

But still, Thanks. 🙂

Haha! 2 tries, my best so far.

@sonhouse

In the upper-left of the wordle page, which now redirects to:
https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html

there is a question-mark icon that explains how to play.

The goal is to guess the five-letter word of the day; so yes, you do start with a guess and work from there based on feedback from the system.

An interesting thing that I didn't notice until I tried the quordle variant is that your guesses must be valid five-letter words, so you can't try something like:

ETAOI
NSHRD

for your first two guesses.

I played my first ever time. I got it in 4.
