Been getting 2 more often recently, which is interesting, because I always use the same starting word

Quote from: Snarky on Sat 23/09/2023 09:06:54I play Quordle more, and recently got into Octordle

I also often play Quordle. I tried Octordle once but didn't really like it.
I played Redactle a few times, but only on PC. On mobile, this doesn't work for me at all.

I'm content, but it could easily have gone badly.

Spoiler

CHAIN, PITHY, LIGHT, SIGHT.

There were sooo many other possibilities for the first letter: fight, right, might, eight, tight, bight, wight...

I think it depends whether or not you have Wordle set to dark mode.

I'm rereading TLOTR, so my first guess was SHIRE.

Some time ago I stumbled over this word and thought it would be an interesting Wordle solution.

Interesting or evil?

I actually experimented with lots of QUE*E strings without spotting the valid one, until I finally saw it when I entered QUEYE.

New Redactle record: 4th guess with 100% accuracy

Spoiler

water, power, flow, river

water is still a good starting word

(although I recently also had cases where it took me 100-200 guesses and sometimes I couldn't figure it out at all)

Redactle #606, 10 guesses:

Spoiler

History of South Africa

battle, king, empire, british, war, africa, south, republic, capital, history

(Date ranges and headings such as "XXXX against the XXXXX" made me think of wars. After a few guesses I had "between the XXXX Empire and [...] the British Empire," and the only four-letter empire I could think of that fought the British was the Zulu. I should have got it at that point; "republic" and "capital" were unnecessary bad guesses.)
