Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

is that ^^ good?


The majority of results being reported seem to be 3, 4 or 5 attempts.

I think someone mentioned collating the results reported here, although I'm not sure how easy that would be.

If you play regularly, the wordle site will report your own cumulative scores.

Would be cool to see the stats distribution for all players so far that day, I'd estimate a smallish % fail to solve each puzzle (and I doubt they are generally keen to show everyone their failure, that's just human nature)

Has anyone actually failed a day?


Yes I failed yesterday, though that was mostly because I rushed. I couldn't think of a word with the correct letters so duplicated some knowingly incorrect ones, then on the final guess as I had the sudden realisation of the first letter I rushed the answer, if I'd checked I'd have known it was wrong.

TRO - I did the day it had a duplicate letter (Banal) as I thought each letter could only appear once

Having played a couple of weeks now I view 6 guesses as a fail/below par, 5 guesses as par, 4 or less guesses as success or a birdie etc in golf-speak.

So I'm going to score myself:
Fail = +2
6 guesses = +1
5 guesses = 0
4 guesses = -1
3 guesses = -2

I'm going to score like that from now until the end of the month, see if I can score less than zero.

11 Jan: score -1 (starting with yesterday's 6/+1 and today's 3/-2)

Should make it interesting.....

Interesting, TROSaracen . I was wondering about what might constitute a "par" score. I guess you could equally well choose to set it at 4 guesses, which would have the effect of making it more challenging to achieve an "under par" cumulative score. But your approach is good.

[I've never understood why, in everyday language, "under par" means not good, whereas in golf (and maybe now Wordle too) it is a good thing. Anyone know?]

Oh dear, I think I have found a new obsession. Was there a quiz program on recently based on this?
