Re: Anyone else hooked on this?
Saw all the coverage of it on breakfast tv yesterday so gave it a go. They said that it gave you the first letter, as on lingo, but mine didn’t. Still got it in 3 but got lucky as my second guess gave me 3 letters in the correct holes.
Not really for me as I prefer maths problems to language ones.

Tried it after seeing the breakfast telly story yesterday.
Struggled with it today as I didn't know the same letter could be used twice.

Re: Anyone else hooked on this?
Start with a 5 letter word if you get a letter going green it is a correct letter in the right place, brown ( ish ) correct letter in wrong place and grey is incorrect letter.

Re: Anyone else hooked on this?
Just had a go. I got my first one in three guesses. I’m going to retire from it now, I can only go downhill from here.

Re: Anyone else hooked on this?
Got it in five but wasted a go because I didn't fully understand it initially.
Now I do, I reckon I'll have another go.

Got it in four, a lot like the game of Mastermind where you have to guess the location of the hidden coloured pegs.

Going to enjoy doing this each morning when I get to work to wake my brain up
Re: Anyone else hooked on this?
You can download this game as an app called ‘Wordlets’ and select 5,6 or 7 letter words, but as a ‘word’ of warning some 7 letter words have an ‘s’ on the end, so are really thought of as 6 letter words.

Re: Anyone else hooked on this?
Got it in 4 guesses on first try. Lucky to get two correct letters in the wrong place and then wasted a guess thinking orange meant they were perfectly lined up. Serves me right for skipping the instructions.

Re: Anyone else hooked on this?
Got it in 5/6. Hadn’t realised a green letter may be used again elsewhere so wasted a few goes until I worked that out. Will no doubt be a regular now!

Re: Anyone else hooked on this?
Sounds like you have already completed it. You get 6 attempts to get the word and you play once a day

Re: Anyone else hooked on this?
This is just the same game as the CH4 afternoon quiz Lingo, isn't it?
I got it on the 4th go with my first attempt. I suppose the secret is using words with 5 different letters to maximise the chances of a correct letter guess?

Had no letters even in the wrong place after my first 2 guesses today ended up getting it on the 5th attempt.

I also got it in two. Somehow. Only got one letter and that was in the wrong order.

Adieu is a good word to start off with that uses 4 of the 5 vowels.
