^ That's awesome.

One Gordle related question that I couldn't find in a quick google search: do we know what the answer was to Gordle #1? I started on Gordle #2, and used Laine as my opener every single time for the five letter ones (haven't missed a day), and it was never him, so I feel like he must have been day 1, though I haven't been able to confirm it.

Went straight to Down Goes Brown.

Let's make this fun.... Why don't you guess and I'll play along.

Not sure I would have gotten that in four, but with guessing at least one of a D or a K in line four pretty sure it would have been a five.
Thanks!

Still undefeated at 152/152. On Gordle 153. Anyone else still going?

To be clear, this is a situation where Eskimo Brother has the Datsyuk-intentionally-shot-the-puck-off-Darren-Helm's-behind-on-purpose-and-it-went-in style assist. I was just Darren Helm.

Nah I have one wrong. It was Michel Jordan.

I'm at 93%, a number with which I'm very happy.

Not sure any of you have an official subscription to NY Times...
But they now have a wordlebot... which officially gives you information on your guess.

Tells you, step-by-step, how quality each guess was... both by "SKILL" (how many options you limited it down to) and "LUCK" (how lucky you closed in at by guessing what you did).

It's both GOOD and BAD.
As somebody who absolutely LOVES numbers and all things tact, algorithm, planning... I love this kind of thing.
But... one also knows from the first screen what kind of "SCORE" they get with their opening guess.


I've been playing out of same office as my wife for 5+ months.

Her opening word scores a 97, per wordlebot.
My opening word scores a 81, per wordlebot.

Doesn't matter... I came up with mine on my own and helps me avoid a 6. Never missed.
She has more "3" guesses than me, though - and I've told her that her opening word is really great.

If anybody wants an intel "score"/SKILL on their opening word - send me a PM and I'll see where your opening word ranks, per wordlebot.

btw. I also gave it to the wordlebot and nytimes on twitter for acting smug on getting it today on 3.
B.effin.S. They gave me enough information to suggest they would've got it on 4, not 3. Liars! Haha.

I still use a different word every day. More fun that way
