Wordle
Does anyone play this?
I only heard about it a few weeks ago, so a bit late to the party.
I love word games but am thankful that there's only one game a day, otherwise I'd probably play it a lot more than I should!

Re: Wordle
I only got in to it lately too - 11 days ago according to the stats that pop up after a game. I go for any kind of puzzle but probably enjoy word and logic based ones most.
Know what you mean about it being a good thing there's only one a day, I've lost much of a lot of afternoons by starting some puzzle over lunch... then doing 'just 1 more'... then 'just 1 more'... and on, and on 🤷🤦♂️

Re: Wordle
I may have omitted telling you that there is a Wordle archive. 
I copied the url for you but it's showing my progress.
I came across it at the weekend there and I'm in the high 20s. Think there are about 200 games there.

Re: Wordle
I play it daily. Today’s was the first one I didn’t get.
Has anyone tried, nerdle? It’s the maths equivalent.

I got it in the last shot. I was really, and by really, I mean 'irrationally' annoyed at myself for spelling it with a w instead of a u! 
Have just done today's one. I still have half a coffee left, so I feel it would be rude not to Google needle.

Re: Wordle
I've had a couple of goes at nerdle. Thanks Ian.
I find it harder than wordle, but the mini version is perhaps a better fit for my mini-sized ability at it.
And I'm really sorry you mentioned the wordle archive HC!😕

Re: Wordle
I opened Nerdle yesterday and could actually feel my heart beating faster when I saw all the colours and boxes! I had a couple of shots (of the one game) and thought, I'll quit while the going is good and come back to it later! I'll maybe try after a couple of glasses of wine tonight! 🤡

I seem to do better with Nerdle than I do with Wordle.

Much more at ease with words than numbers.
Pleased that I got it in 3 today.

Re: Wordle
I've had a few where I've got it at the last attempt. Back to 4s and more usually 5s now.
You see HC, getting it at the 3rd is clearly going to be luck-based, whereas 5 shows calculated skill and logic.
Was 5th attempt today. 😉
