• 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

Felt like that was much harder than it should have been!

Help me out here, folks. I've found it at wordle-play.com, and am playing on my PC. I've just played 9 games in a row. Why are you talking about "todays", as if there is only one available per day?

Secondly, how does it deal with double letters? EVENT, QUEER, etc?

There IS only one puzzle released per day. You must be looking at historic ones somehow
I asked about double letter on page 16 and got some replies

Yes it can have double letters, if you put one in the right place it will go green, it won't tell you there is another instance of it.
Yes there have been double letters in the past and yes it's a pain in the arse.

yes it's addicitive and yes I can stop when ever I want. :p

As Dave says that isn't the right URL, you need the NYT one which is a single word per day.

Duplicates of a letter will, as Dave says, show up differently. Let's assume the answer has two E's in it:
1. If you play a word with one E, which is incorrectly placed in the answer then it will show as yellow.
2. If your guess has two E's in it and they're both in the wrong place then they will both be yellow.
3. If your guess contains one E in the right place it will be green.
4. If your guess contains one E in correct place and the other in wrong place one will be green and the other yellow.

That one's a nightmare. Shows double letters as both being correct when it's only actually one, which is going to lead one far, far astray.

And I hate to bring bad news, but apparently the real deal's had at least one triple letter in the past. :shock:

So that's at least 11 more potential days of intense irritation and annoyance then. :D

How many in the american language though? :twisted:
 
There's something odd going on today (No. 241). The LOML and I were doing Wordle on our respective phones, and I got it in 5. I leaned across to see how she was doing and there was an obvious right letter in the right place that was still coloured orange, and another that didn't appear at all coloured orange as well.

Without giving the game away, the vowel(s) was/were in the same places(s), but one of the consonants was the same but in a different place, and there was another consonant which was entirely different - so essentially two different words. It hasn't taken the NYT long to muck up a delightfully simple concept!
 
The problem is the NYT have messed with the code, wherein the answers are all to be found and which day they will appear. If you have the old one, you get one word; if you have the updated NYT one, you get the other word. Why some have the updated version and others haven't is beyond my ken. The Twits of Twitter seem to be quite upset about it. I admit, I may have laughed.

I'm not sure they've messed with anything, I'd be more inclined to think that the clock was reset when they moved it over to the NYT domain, meaning anyone who kept their cookies intact will carry on as before, and anyone who cleared cache etc (or has the old one cached in their browser still) will be running to a different timeline.
 
Well done Mark. Of course we don't know what word it is that you got in 3 now that there are different words going out on the same day. :x

I'm confused as to how this is happening, can you post the URL your better half is using?

We did ours at around 0800 today. I've just tried the link you showed and entered the word that LOML had and it is rejected as not a word!

Hmmmm, more and more I'm thinking she's using the wrong one and someone's made a copy...
 
That explains my confusion this morning. I had the last three letters but couldn't work out the first two so went looking for clues, accidently came across the answer but it didn't work with the letters I had.

Think I was trying to do the harder version, that's my excuse anyway.
 
I got it in 4. I doubt its a word many in the general populace actually know.

Are you suggesting I do not speak English proper?

Too long over here I reckon, I'm picking up bad habits.
