Explain line 4

😅

To be fair, I’ve used letters that I’d already used to try and work it out if I’ve been stuck. Never a full line though. Anyway.

Explain line 4

I’ve got my “formula” that I use. First four guesses use most of the common letters. After line 3 I used up the 5 remaining letters and realised that letter 1 was a repeat of one of the other correct letters. If that makes sense?

it’s why my stats are so heavily weighted at 5/6 attempts

 

 

If this makes more sense 

Realise now it could only have been block or clock

Sometimes use THING instead of NIGHT and if the M is in play I’ll try BUMPY instead of BURPS

If I’m struggling after 4 guesses I’ll try WAVEY to bring the W, V and Y in. If U is correct I’ll look at the Q

Proper fucking geek am I

I dunno why, but putting BURPS after you’d all but solved it has properly made me giggle.

Youre one step away from flinging your own shit at passing traffic, lad.

It makes even less sense. 😁

I don’t have a formula. Just put in random words. Sometimes I’m brave and use the same letter twice. The same letter has been used 3 times I think. Can’t remember which word though. 🤷‍♂️

That sounds so familiar, it's almost eerie.

That's what I do 

Look and listen for inspiration 

Was in a coffee shop, some song was repeating the word hurry 

Went with it

Got it in one 

Another time my daughter was eating a munch bunch yoghurt 

 Munch

In one

Bit of doubling up today

Am not afraid to use a letter twice at any point

My aim is always to finish in less than sixty seconds, regardless of guesses

Wasn't expecting it to be accepted, but my mind went blank so I tried it anyway. Scottish word for a hornless cow or bull apparently. Should have just gone through the unused letters in my head and I'd have got it, but I'm an idiot.

Edited May 13May 13 by Cheese

Loads will fall on todays. I worked out 21 possible options from my second line. Whittled it down to a possible four by the sixth line. Fail.

Lucky two days in a row

Well done sir. I can recognise these ones a mile off now. They throw them in at intervals to chop the tall poppies down.

Suspected that my goose may be cooked when I had 2,3 and 5 in on the second line. Calculated 21 options before proceeding. I had whittled it down to a 25% chance of a correct guess by line 6.

Sounds a lot like mine today except I guessed right on the 6th go. Went for the word that included the most bastardly letter and got lucky.
