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.

First time I've tried it, didn't get it, I might try again tomorrow if I remember

TheFamilyCat · Post by **TheFamilyCat** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:14 am

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.

Seen it on fb being shared but haven’t played til just now.

Got it correct on my last guess.

Terrier · Post by **Terrier** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:27 am

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.

Got it in three but Spot reckons he got it in two. He's like that... Billy two sh!ts

RMutt · Post by **RMutt** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:33 am

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.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:41 am

Enjoyable, have a streak of 9 currently! Got yesterday’s word in 2 which I was very happy with.

Struggled today, got it 5/6.

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:47 am

1st attempt today ... I named that word in 3

Gordaleman · Post by **Gordaleman** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:50 am

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.

jos · Post by **jos** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 12:10 pm

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

StuffyClaret · Post by **StuffyClaret** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 12:56 pm

Got it in 2! Helped that I managed to get 3 letters on my first go

Going to enjoy doing this each morning when I get to work to wake my brain up

jos · Post by **jos** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:45 pm

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.

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:52 pm

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.

It was developed in America. I found this out a few days ago when there was an American spelling.

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!

Got it on the 4th row. Do I have to wait 10 hours for the next one?

ClaretinJapan · Post by **ClaretinJapan** » Fri Jan 21, 2022 4:40 am

Seems like it is a "daily word game" so I guess so,

clarethomer · Post by **clarethomer** » Fri Jan 21, 2022 7:17 am

Today will be a well known word for some on here who use it quite frequently

Sounds like you have already completed it. You get 6 attempts to get the word and you play once a day

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Fri Jan 21, 2022 7:34 am

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?

clarethomer · Post by **clarethomer** » Fri Jan 21, 2022 7:41 am

Yes and use of vowels for me

Burnley1989 · Post by **Burnley1989** » Fri Jan 21, 2022 7:52 am

Stupidly didn’t get it yesterday, hadn’t realised you could use the same letter twice for some weird reason

Did it in 3 today

SalouClaret · Post by **SalouClaret** » Fri Jan 21, 2022 8:11 am

Had no letters even in the wrong place after my first 2 guesses today

ended up getting it on the 5th attempt.

Bet Owen Coyle got it straight away

I got it in 2 and it think it was being quoted by a certain poster that helped me solve it

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Fri Jan 21, 2022 8:33 am

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

Terrier · Post by **Terrier** » Mon Jan 24, 2022 9:44 am

Tough today, got it in 4 but had to look the word up first!

I got it on the last guess despite having 3 letters (wrong place) from the second word

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

I had a 2 as well which is the best score you can get. If you get it in one, then it's just a guess.
