Re: WITH SPOILERS - Wordle And Quordle WITH SPOILERS
That was the unexpected bonus of going with EAGER as an elimination guess. It was with GENRE in mind on one of the other boards as well. I just had an inkling, with so many RE along with N&As, that there’d be a sting in the tail. They’re such common and, collectively, unhelpful letters. I didn’t expect it to unlock double E in three words.

Bloody Donald… went for TRUMP for a 6 on Quordle, at least it gave me a bit more info to spot FRUIT next go!

Re: WITH SPOILERS - Wordle And Quordle WITH SPOILERS
Yeah, surprised that many got it in 3, expected to see some fails. Was my last resort 6th guess as I couldn’t find anything else, wasn’t even sure if I’d spelt it right or if it was an ineligible proper noun!

Bayou here too.
Looking at a couple of grids it appears some used weird starting words and got lucky! Maybe....

Re: WITH SPOILERS - Wordle And Quordle WITH SPOILERS
I was thinking not many 5-letter words have a Y in the middle, but you’ve just used an obvious one there…

I start with a Y in Quordle as they use it a lot - generally as last letter which is where I put it.Pirlo's Beard wrote:BAYOU here too.

Can't be many words with Y in the middle so you got lucky, maybe (there's one!) that is why you used double A and(!) double K in go 2.
I got to -A-O- after 2 goes. Took a while to find a legal word for go 3 and was amazed when HAVOC yielded nothing new. Go 4 took me ages.....

Re: WITH SPOILERS - Wordle And Quordle WITH SPOILERS
Yeah, my first guess eliminated the letters S, T, L, and E, which ruled out nearly every five-letter word I could think of with Y in the middle. KAYAK seemed to be the only valid word remaining at that point. Took me ages after that to find BAYOU.

ADIEU
SNAFU
BAYOU
A green U meant even a 2 was possible. So just lucky to start with a green U with that good old English/French word adieu. May have to change that word as that was probably the one rare chance at a 2. My second guess is usually forty to seek the other vowel.

Re: WITH SPOILERS - Wordle And Quordle WITH SPOILERS
I had the A position from my starting LATER, then my second NOISY told me there was a Y somewhere. Briefly considered WAGYU but thought was a bit obscure, so went KAYAK and then remembered BAYOU. Never was big on Roy Orbison.

I think my vocabulary is pretty good but I’ve never heard of Bayou.

Re: WITH SPOILERS - Wordle And Quordle WITH SPOILERS
Is the song 'Blue Bayou'?
Is a bayou some sort of swampy river??? Definitely only heard it in American language but maybe has roots elsewhere.

Started with something ending in a Y (can’t remember what) then went Layer for guess 2. Took ages to spot a word that fitted (luckily didn’t see kayak!)

Re: WITH SPOILERS - Wordle And Quordle WITH SPOILERS
Yeah I knew Bayou as some sort of Southern US “swampy thing” as murf said.
I got to it via ROATE giving me two yellows for OA, an unsuccessful 2nd guess which only ruled out a couple of places for the O and A, and then tried BANJO which rather luckily gave me greens for BA and meant I now knew O was in 4th place. Based on the other letters ruled out, after a lot of head scratching, I spotted BAYOU as the only option.

I also started with ROATE, can‘t remember the rest though.
No, just checked, I started with my other word

It was a fail on Quordle today, and the 4 words seemed quite appropriate - I wasn’t SAVVY enough (that was the one I missed), but got SPLAT, DROSS, and… MORON!

Re: WITH SPOILERS - Wordle And Quordle WITH SPOILERS
S was common today. I usually try and put that in my 2nd go but today I didn't so was quite bare. Got lucky using it on go 3 with DROPS which lead straight to DROSS.Hogmeister wrote:It was a fail on Quordle today, and the 4 words seemed quite appropriate - I wasn’t SAVVY enough (that was the one I missed), but got SPLAT, DROSS, and… MORON!

I was down to SAVVY or SASSY, but I thought surely no more S's (was fairly sure of DROSS)....
