Who is playing Wordle? And have you seen Quordle???

[Guitarchaeologist]

I started playing the daily New York Times Wordle puzzle. Five guesses to solve a five-letter word. It can be challenging.
Today I was introduced to Quordle... nine guesses to discover four distinct five-letter words. Next-level fun!

Who else is playing???

I do play wordle as well as word master which is the same but not limited to 1 word a day.
As for quordle, looks like I am not going to play it.

I'm playing NYT Wordle as well. It's good fun, but can be very frustrating at times.

Just tried Quordle, and my head is spinning

I tried Wordle for the first time today and got it on the fourth try! It was very fun

Yes I discovered Wordle a couple of weeks ago. Great fun. Being a competitive beast I always wonder how I'm doing against the average but I can understand why they don't want to do that.

If your settings allow, you can "share" the results to some social media accounts. I don't do that, so I am not sure which accounts you can share to, but I have friends that share to Facebook, so I know that's apossible. Probably WhatsApp also. Since everyone gets the same daily puzzle, it only shows the colored boxes and the number of attempts to solve.

Haha no way I'm sharing...thats a bit close to boasting. But would like to know for my own interest.

Yeah. I'm in. Better before the NYT started editing the dictionary telling me LYNCH was not a word.

Quordle is good too.

I love puzzles. My day starts with The Times (UK) puzzles while I have my cuppa tea in bed.

I wish I could play guitar as well as I can solve puzzles.

I’ve been a subscriber to the NYT Crossword puzzle for many years, and I remember when they had leaderboards, posting best solving times. But a bunch of people figured out how to cheat the game, and were posting times as low as 10 seconds. It took the fun out of it, and they killed the leaderboard quite awhile back. I’d guess the same guy is still running the NYT Games department, and probably feels he learned his lesson.

I started playing Wordle a couple weeks ago. Then I found the archive site and did 228 more of them over the next couple weeks to catch up. Now I do the one daily Wordle, and I'm staying away from the other games because I don't want to get caught up in them too!

Quordle seems like a multitasking nightmare!

I do play Wordle and the Ukrainian-language clone of it called Kobza, named so after a stringed musical instrument for some reason.
I've been playing for a couple of weeks and only failed once in Wordle.

The winning tactic seems to be all about efficiently eliminating most commonly used letters with a few words like LEMON, BATHS, PRIDE... and then actually guessing based on the clues.

Agreed. I play Wordle on my phone, Quordle gets play on the computer so I have a better field of vision.
I played one practice round (got 3/4 words), then the daily game for three days and solved all four words each time. Not sure I could have done that on the smaller phone screen.

 

[WhiteWabbit]

I’ve played it 13 times, never been stumped, I’ve got it in 3 tries 6 times including today, never got it in 1 or 2.
