Wordle

Post by dtaai-maai »

If you're interested in word games and puzzles and you haven't come across this yet, give it a try. My only problem is there's only one a day...

Hint: after line 1 the app is telling you that none of those letters feature in the target word (because of the grey colour), so you shouldn't use them again. The R in line 3 is the right letter in the right position (green), so keep it there. P and C the right letter in the wrong position (yellow). Ypu got the right answer somehow, but God only knows how! :laugh: :laugh:

This is a game show that's been running on TV since the 80's in various forms.

Still running today on ITV - LINGO.

I believe it's available to play online.

Yeh this one gives you first and last for 6 letters. 1 letter for 5 letter words.

There are lots of other sites where you choose the level of difficulty. You are in control.

Has nobody watched Lingo on ITV? Every Monday I believe.

'Is there any connection between Wordle and the TV quiz show Lingo? Or it is just a massive coincidence that they are exactly the same, right down the choice of colours?'

Another said: 'So this Wordle thing everyone's doing, it's just Lingo, right? Someone just stole Lingo and made it an app?'

While a third added: 'Hold up. So this Wordle thing I keep seeing recently is actually just Lingo?'
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... LINGO.html

You can find it in many places in exactly the same format.

Motus on French tv has been around for ages and is the same as this - only with more letters

Having said that, regardless of who invented it, it is quite addictive.

Didn't realise I was spelling in Welsh for the first 3 tries FFS! :roll: :wink:

Made it in four though. Quite enjoying this, must admit.
