I seem to have lost my stats, I forgot exactly which device I was playing with the most, back when I was doing it daily, but all my browsers are missing data now on the NYT one… would guess my vanity index was positive tho as I had plenty of 5/6 and 6/6 days

Has anyone posted Heardle yet? https://www.heardle.app/ Pop music version, very clever but much too hard for me. The first one I saw (yesterday) I knew I knew the song but could not summon it.

I’m pretty sure I would be an outlier. I seem to have only commented here when one was hard for me. I posted two 6/6, but I’d probably get a bunch of them in 3,4,5 guesses normally. My stats are slightly skewed though, either by playing on multiple devices/browser or by the fact once or twice somebody spoiled or partly spoiled it on me, and I got it like two, or one time I tested to see if it was the same word on both when NYT took it over and got it in one… which was a bit silly.

Funny enough, the route I took made it very hard for me to find the right word in the fifth guess. Even your comment that it is a not very unique word didn’t help, because I couldn’t see any word for a while that would fit :stuck_out_tongue:

I think sometimes your own guesses can make the word easier or harder than it actually is. The trouble with more unique words in that sense, I imagine, is that people can get to the end and have no idea what the word means and probably need a dictionary to help guess, or just trial and error to see if some combination of letters is allowed :slight_smile:

I’m not strictly playing on hard mode but I tend to just enjoy trying to use the letters I know in subsequent guesses rather than coming up with tactical guesses that might help me get it in one fewer or something.

Random side note:

Upon googling Wordle it seems like the google logo does a little Wordle animation, which is kind of fun.

This is why I don’t play on hard mode :smiley:

(made a strategic guess 4 to cover 3 different letters that could be in position 2)

I just hit a small milestone - 50 out of 50, no losses, all in “hard” mode (which I didn’t realise existed until recently). Unfortunately I occasionally forget to visit the site, so the “streak” is broken. My one criticism of the site programming is that it should only break a streak when you fail, not when you miss a day.

My streak ended today

I blew my 100% record yesterday, after 61 in a row. I had *OUND after 3 attempts, with 7 more possible first letters available. That’s a mean choice by the programmer ; it should be skill that succeeds, not blind guesswork. Boo !

So we have these 7 letters to check, and 3 guesses left:
FRHBMSW

Thus if we make the next two guesses HOMES and BROWS, we will always have enough information to solve it on the last guess :smiley:

(In “hard mode” it would indeed be blind guesswork, which is why that mode is objectively less fun :wink:)

I have always played in hard mode - hence the low odds of getting that one. There have been others where I just got lucky - *IGHT was another similar stinker, with at least 9 possibles.

Today’s Heardle!!!

This was very jammy, from the Archive website. Quite satisfying, though.
