My Wordle Journey:
I'll admit, my first couple of guesses weren't particularly inspiring. I opted for the classic "CRANE" for my first guess, which, while providing a couple of letters, didn't give me much direction. My second attempt was even less fruitful.
I knew I needed a different approach. Saturday Wordles often favor less common letter combinations, so I started to think outside the box. I needed to eliminate possibilities and pinpoint likely vowels. This is where my strategy changed. I focused on words that used consonants I hadn't tried, but also had common vowels sprinkled in.
My struggle highlights an important point: sometimes, the most helpful guess isn't the one that gets the most letters right immediately. It's the one that narrows down the possibilities efficiently.
Hints for Those Still Struggling:
If you're still grappling with Wordle #1512, here are some hints to point you in the right direction (without giving away the answer directly):
- Hint 1: The word contains one double letter.
- Hint 2: The word ends with a common letter often found in word endings.
- Hint 3: Think of a type of rock or a dark-colored surface.
My Final Thoughts:
Today's Wordle was a challenging but ultimately rewarding experience. It reminded me that a strategic approach, even if it means a few less-than-perfect guesses early on, is crucial for success. Remember to analyze your guesses, eliminate possibilities, and don't be afraid to think outside the common word choices.
