Worked fine for me

Took me ages and when it finally loaded the screen was tiny so had to turn phone sideways.

It also think Honour and Colour are spelt without a U

Because it's American, owned by NYTimes

Yep. Almost missed it the other week because they drop the E from blonde.

You'd think after being over here for 40 odd years I'd get used to it, but I have decided that it is one of my life's missions to correct their egregious spelling (except when it come to getting Wordle right).

Why were you trying to play Honour and Colour in a 5 letter game?

I’m not playing 6 letter words, but as I’m English I’m not automatically thinking that words such as those are 5 letters

Isn’t it an abbreviation?
Abbreviations aren’t allowed

dougcollins · Post by **dougcollins** » Fri Jan 26, 2024 7:45 pm

Acronym. But they're probably not allowed either.

Was very slow to load the web page again today, but it eventually came up ...

aclaretinstevenage · Post by **aclaretinstevenage** » Sat Jan 27, 2024 11:07 am

The site also links to Connections - as in Only Connect wall round - and I'm often stumped by "Americanisms" on that game.

Bigger issues in the world I know.........just saying.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jan 27, 2024 11:49 am

I got the first, third and fifth letters this morning with my first selection but only got it with the last chance

CharlieinNewMexico · Post by **CharlieinNewMexico** » Sat Jan 27, 2024 7:31 pm

I got it in 4 but struggled a bit. I don’t like on the first go when you get one in exactly the right place but nothing else. I find when that happens I’ll draw another blank on the second one.

Seems they have sorted the slow loading ... page loaded straight away today

PoshClaret · Post by **PoshClaret** » Wed Jan 31, 2024 4:01 pm

As well as the NY Times version of Wordle, I also play Wordling! (4, 5, 6 and 7 letter versions). And, for something a bit different, there is Worldle which invites you to guess country names from their shapes. What an exciting life I lead!

yTib · Post by **yTib** » Thu Feb 01, 2024 5:51 pm

got it on guess two today. i think that's only the fourth or fifth time i've done that (out of 344 rounds).

ClaretOfMancunia · Post by **ClaretOfMancunia** » Thu Feb 01, 2024 5:59 pm

Guess 4 today

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Thu Feb 01, 2024 6:34 pm

Saw that one last week. My starting word is always aisle. Not occurred yet.

Bullabill · Post by **Bullabill** » Mon Apr 15, 2024 1:04 pm

Louse followed by dairy is my strategy. All the vowels plus y and a few handy consonants. It seems to work OK. The other first timers were before using louse/dairy, one was appal and I can't remember the other.
