    The Wordle and its bastard offspring thread

    We now seem to have Wordle chat just living in the Little Things That Fuck You Off thread and now the football one in the News thread so thought we may as well have a thread for them.

    So this isn't just purely admin I'll post this one as I dunno if anybody has yet; https://www.heardle.app/

    I am very, very shit at that one based on the three attempts I've had and getting nowhere near the answer.

    RAISE is the best starting word for the original Wordle. If you get no letters first go, then TOUCH is good option for second word.

    My mate is insanely good at worldle. Has it on hard mode where it doesn't show the country outline the right way up etc and still gets it first time most of the time.

    I got today's in two which I was pretty impressed with.

    Heardle I had no clue.

    With Worldle I was bouncing around close but I never would have gotten it.

    Once you're at that then there's no point playing. The same if you're not including yellow and green letters in the next guess.

    When I play Wordle I play whatever vaguely good word comes into my head first and go from there. The people playing the same three words off the bat every day without fail are psychopaths.

    That's quite cool although basically impossible. Particularly when you think the 5 random entries that appear on the drop down menu are the only ones you can choose from. I got all the surrounding countries but burned the first two guesses on thinking I could only choose from the list.

    Wordle in 3, Heardle in 1 (that intro is too iconic) and Worldle was a fucking joke.

    Tradle in two.

    Wordle: 5
    Tradle: 4
    Are you meant to measure Heardle in guesses or seconds? 4th guess, 7 seconds.
    Worldle: lol. Fail.

    I nearly got Worldle but was hampered by the fact I had never heard of the place. I was all over the shop again for the trade one.

    My 4th guess was exactly the same as yours.

    Was kicking myself after it.

    6 on Wordle today, another 1 on Heardle (that was easier than yesterday), Worldle was a 1 (outline made it far too easy), Tradle in 3 (should have got it sooner) and Who are ya? in 3.

    Not a bad day.

    I got Heardle in one and it was the first time I've actually ever got one (of about four attempts.)

    Absolutely the right era for me to be sure of.

    So far with Heardle I either get it immediately or not at all, none yet where it's come to me after a few more seconds.

    I've been all or nothing with worldle, day 1 in 1 [assumed it was a joke as it was Guernsey], no chance yesterday even though I had 3 guesses at something 3500km south west of Lesotho or somesuch [wtf?], back to got it in 1 today, so I look forward to not getting some random tiny island tomorrow. Unless it's Jersey.

    My main problem with Worldle is that my brain sees everything as an island.

    My main issue with worldle is trying to figure out the distances accurately, which for my first three days I've been utterly useless at.

    Wordle in 3, Heardle in 5 guesses/11 seconds (I've not heard that song much), failed on Worldle, failed on Tradle and a 5 for Who Are Ya?

    Not a great day for the non-Wordle games.
