Eddie Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Yes, I've been dragged in. Not failed yet (famous last words) - 47/47. I prefer Nerdle - you have 6 guesses to determine a mathematical equation containing 8 terms or numbers, e.g. 7x7+7=56 Another good one is Quordle - you have 9 guesses to determine 4 5-letter words (and believe me, it usually takes 8 or 9 to get them all).

Are you talking about the one ending in ATCH? Could be hatch, latch, catch, match etc. Absolute pain in the arse ones like that, I ran out of guesses, and no clue to get the right one other than guessing. Stupid game. uttoxram75 and Ken Tram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Not sure what's going on, so did a little Googling... Folk are/were complaining about having to take wild guesses on the first letter of a 5 letter word ending "ATCH" (Due to the numerous options). Some even claim to have got those 4 letters on their first line. Complaints about guesswork over intelligence... but isn't that first line a complete random guess anyway, each and every time? ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) I've something similar (Identical?) on my phone. I've just checked and played for the first time in a week or so. My stats read (past tense) 145 games played. 97% success. Win streak of 3. Delving further, the stats showed 7 wins on the second line, 48 wins on the 3rd, 50 on the 4th, 29 on the 5th, and 7 on the 6th and final line. Thus far, I've (randomly) seen 4, 5, and 6 letter words (no idea whether the app does longer words). Don't recall any letters being repeated in the same word, or plurals. Is this the same thing? ...I then decided to play, and correctly guessed "TRAIN" on the first line! My first one! But the emphasis was very much on "Guess"! It doesn't make me intelligent!

There are tactics. If you have a good starting word, rather than just randomly guessing a word, it helps. apparently Orate is a very good starting word. And if that doesn’t work, then Fluid is a good second word. Then you’ve eliminated all the vowels and a lot of popular consonants, in two guesses. You’ve got a pretty good chance of getting it in 3 or 4 guesses then (unless it ends in ATCH). you also learn that certain letters just can’t go together, so they sort of eliminate themselves. If you’ve in got one vowel, there are only certain combinations of conservante that will work (like ATCH). and you can have plurals and repeated letters. POPPY was a nightmare. It’ll tell you’ve got P right and in the right place, but won’t tell you that there are others. Which I think is sneaky. jono and Mucker1884 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would then do in those circumstances is use a 'tactical' guess - one that uses up a few of the possible alternative letters without using any of the 'already gots'. e.g. in the above *ATCH, and BCHLMPW being available, I would probably go for 'BLIMP'. If I get a hit, then at least I've got it in 3. If not, at least I've reduced the possibilities. Highgate and Mucker1884 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Been doing it awhile (71 days it says) I don't get the competitiveness and the constant need for people to share their daily scores online It's literally a guessing game and your daily score is always one of chance dependent on how many letters you get right on the first 2 gos, In the end it only really tests how many 5 letter words you can think of. I'd be interested to look at the average distribution of scores after 100 games. As it stands I have scored 5 the most (23), then 3 (20) and then 4 (14) with only 8 going to 6 guesses and 5 flukey 2s I suspect most people's distribution will be similar jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get a hit, then at least I've got it in 3. If not, at least I've reduced the possibilities. Good tactic. I should’ve tried that. I’ll often go for Fluid as a second guess, even if I’ve got a couple of letters in Orate. It’s about eliminating as many letters as possible in as few guesses as possible, otherwise you end up chasing your tail using up guesses on just eliminating one letter at a time.
