Wordle type puzzles

[tree]

There are many clones of the original Wordle.

Facebook has one.

To me, the facebook puzzles seem slightly easier than other versions.

Here is one from today.

Spoiler

I use the same word to start on any version of wordle that I try. And often enter "lunch" if 'orate' wasn't specially revealing. My friend, for no discernible reason uses a variety of words. I don't see an advantage to doing that.

Discussion:
First word----orate
Second word---wanted to see where the 'o' might be placed.
3rd word, Since I got the 'r' and one of the 'o's placed correctly, and
the 'm' wouldn't go at the beginning, that left the second 'o' to go
at the end. "romo".....not a big stretch to imagine that 'p' was the
first letter.

And it was.

==============
Who else does Wordle style puzzles?

I done some of the ones that have 16, 8, or 4, to solve.

I like the 2 puzzle version, dordle.
Particularly the 'free' one.
You don't have to finish it all in one go.
Or in one day. Or week.
You can come back...whenever. And it's still there to work on.

I have done these. They're cool. Sudoku and mahjong are just as infectious to me. These game makers knew about us and that they had a built in fanbase, haha.

I love playing "Words With Friends" on Facebook. It used to be incredibly popular, around the Farmville era. But hardly anyone plays it anymore.

It's the loveliest everlasting scrabble game. There are three people on my friends list whom I don't really talk to much in real life, but we play Words With Friends several times a week, not speaking to each other, but we play the words. Sometimes a few times a day. But that's rare.

It's really nice to get that interaction too. When someone plays a word, I get so happy.

And then when one game ends, a little box pops up asking if you want to play another game. And there are a core few people I've been playing with like that for years. Most have sorta gone away though. But the big three are still there.

I don't wanna show their pics or contact stuff. But here's what it looks like.

I cut off the part where it shows our scores, cos there are photos of us right there.

I am not at all competitive. In fact, I often choose spots without triple letter or double letter scores on purpose, to let the other person win. I'm just in it to spell words (a special interest) and have human interaction.

I love sudoku too. I make my own sudoku games sometimes. Mahjong is a wonderful game. I like to play a variety of solitaire games with playing cards, some of which I made up myself.

I'm sick in bed a lot, and these kinds of games, along with the forum games help me pass the time.

I don't do these every day, but I did this one today.
