My first failure today as I couldn't believe they would spell the word that way!

Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!
Maybe one for the cruciverbalists

My wife sent them an e-mail complaining that they have a .co.uk website but used US spelling!

I was hoping that today was the day that I would complete the set and get it in 1. No chance when the answer has a spelling mistake in it though! Got it in 6. :evil:

I got a couple of good words, but I also had a bit of a double-take at the answer. Looking online, we're not the only ones that are a bit peeved at the answer being an American one :lol:

I have firefox and chrome on this machine.
so now I have a perfect score.
just kidding.
Kim Jong-Un took up Wordle, he scored 38 consecutive one-worders in a day and decided to retire from it boasting that it was too easy for him.

Needed Shakespeare's help on that one.

I first had to look up the meaning of cruciverbalists 
Not too shabby for a red-neck dutchman (first time)

4 for me today, but I also really struggled with it. I had the first and fourth letters in the correct places on line 3 but just couldn’t see the word at all, then I realised why…

I got the first and last two positions on row 3, but I could see two possibilities for positions 2 & 3. I guessed wrong first time so got it in five.

I had 3 letters place by 2.

Ooo, that's frustrating, Dave.
Back to the usual 4 for me.

Every day so far since some naughty person started this thread, I have done this in 3. Except today where I was ejected after 6 despite having three greens at 3. :lol:
Who was that then? :eusa-whistle:
Strangely addictive innit?

I think some of the fun comes from assuming that the choice of word is not random. By adopting the one-puzzle-a-day strategy, Josh Wardle stays in control of what we all see each time. So he can test us with double letters, US spellings, less common consonant groupings... and whatever else he has up his sleeve.

I'm finding one of my guessing strategies is becoming "What answer would annoy me the most?" :lol:

Time I dropped him a note to see if he can add one or two of those franglais words that have crept into the OED.
I use LATER then POUND which uses all vowels bar the 'i' and gives you 10 unique letters. Doesn't always help but often lands you at least 2 either in the right place or correct but wrong place. Not using the 'i' still helps because if the others aren't there that that almost has to be, and even if none of the other consonants aren't there then it helps because you narrow down what's left.
That's my technique anyway.

Miaou or Beaus. My first one originally was Mauve but v is a waste.
you folks are putting far to much thought into this.
:eusa-think: Wait, maybe that's why you are all better than me. :eusa-think:
I rate this game though

The last few times I've started with THOSE and DRAIN to get a good spread of letters, but earlier goes (including the most successful ones!) were picked more randomly.
