Because it neither rules out the most words, on average, nor uses the most common letters.
Plus, you leave yourself with fewer usable words in hard-mode because you've eliminated so many vowels with so few consonants.
You should remove as many as possible out of: >S, H, P, E, A, N, C, D, R, T, I, L
But in a way that leaves as many usable guesses as possible at the end.
Words like: >Pecan, Shape, Drain, Chant, Crane, Slate, Trace
All work better than Audio for this purpose.
There's also an argument for going in with a personal strategy that you use which may not be ideal, but zeros in on the word more consistently by eliminating common letter positons >Plant
for example is a good way to rule in/out all "-ng" or "-nt" or "-ne" and other common letter combos like second letter L and middle letter A.
I just start with the first 5-letter word that pops into my head because I can't be arsed to play mind games with some random NYT editor about which letters are most likely to show up in a puzzle.
Do you guys do any other dailies? Wordle, connections, mini crossword. Which new dailies should I add to my list?
>not starting with a new word every day that you come up with on the spot because it is relevant to your current situation
I had cereal today, so I used bowls
You won't win on the first turn if the word isn't audio. You'll always be a homosexual who needs at least two tries, whereas I have 34+ first try successes.
It's not even a puzzle. "Word association" is too high brow for this shit. They literally just make shit up. >Names of birds with one letter missing >The first three letters of a planet's name

Stupid fricking bullshit.

connections is for the superior israeli mind only
that's literally the point of the game otherwise it'd just be a word search
find 4 likely matches, then check the remaining 12 and see if there are any potential additional matches. if there are, you're likely being bamboozled and should think laterally from a different angle

I do Wordle, Spelling Bee, Connections, Strands, and The Mini. I used to do Letter Boxed but I got sick of it, should probably dump Spelling Bee and Connections too honestly.
I used to do a bunch, but cut it down to just Wordle. Not sure if I'll stick with it, but I found Betweenle the other day, which has you figure out a word by proximity in the dictionary.
don't you mean
>beat boss with 1hp left
?
Cynic?
How the frick can dicky not be in the word list it's a perfectly valid word to refer to a rabbit
DON'T DO IT VINNY
Oh yeah forgot about this game
Did the nyt ever actually make it subscription only?
You can play it free but they don’t keep your score now without an account.
give me a reason why you shouldn't always go with "audio" as the first word
Min-maxing is boring and skilless.
>throwing random shit at a wall with no guarantee you'll get a single letter right
>somehow the more skilled option even though it's actual RNG
because winning with PENIS is funnier
I like to mix it up sometimes with b***h or prostitute
Based
Movie eliminates most of the bullshit
for me, it's "plain"
Oh, that's a good one. I always go with "clear" and "pious." I think I learned that combo here, in fact.
because finding a single vowel is worse than finding 2 consonants
There's value in knowing letters are not in the word. Even if "Audio" turned up nothing, you'd know there was E. Really tightens it up.
no, it's inefficient. use something like "stern" and you knock out everything common and can easily guess the vowel with what you find
>Even if "Audio" turned up nothing, you'd know there was E
TRYST
BRAINLETS LOSE AGAIN HAHAHAHAHAHA
For me it's CRANE. If that gets no hits then PIOUS.

Octordle.
U is a shit vowel to start with
best word is SERAI but I always go with a new one for fun
>not starting with a new word every day that you come up with on the spot because it is relevant to your current situation
I had cereal today, so I used bowls
>Not starting with sneed.
It's like you don't want to win.
>their
>gets rid of "th"
>gets rid of "r"
>gets rid of "e"
All letters common in five letter words
inferior to
>flame
>brick
>shunt
>podgy
I guess I just ruined wordle for anyone reading this post
Pious, then Later or Rated depending on how I feel that day

I use STEIN. Three common consonants and two of the most common vowels.
I like SARGE. G isn't really a high priority letter but eh.
Wordle 1,011 3/6
Your fourth guess should have been all new letters rather than repeating the ones you have correct
>he doesn't play on hard mode
Oh no no no no
how come it lets you guess words in mexican
MAYOR
is the word for the 26th enjoy bro
That's okay, I was only playing for the password game 🙂
I got this one with
>Paint
>Galls
>Sally
>weak looking monster is invincible
After the first attempt, you should have simply filled up the boxes with random consonants.
>not playing on hard mode
>not playing to win
Hard mode is a setting on the game that literally prevents you from making guesses that don't include characters you already know are correct.
>game has artificial difficulty

moron-kun...
>guessing shake first
>no shade
You are a moron
I'm glad someone else is talking about it. what the frick was this shit?
Wait I thought Wordle didn't accept proper nouns. So what the frick is a Sally then?
it's a verb, almost always seen as "sally forth"
that happened to me too. who tf uses sally in anything other than the name, and wordle doesn't use names
>zoomers don't recognize words that aren't in video game youtube essays
Grim.
Sally forth, young anon

>five matches for stadiums
so there's likely some tomfoolery going on. which of the 5 can you eliminate as being part of another group entirely?
This. It's by far the best game on the site. I fricking love connections.
It's not even a puzzle. "Word association" is too high brow for this shit. They literally just make shit up.
>Names of birds with one letter missing

lmao did they reuse that? I swear the first time I saw that answer it had NEP

Anon am I moronic? I don't get this clue
>Am I moronic
Short answer, yes.
>Brat, blow, grow, swell
Subtract one letter from each
>Bat, Bow, Row, Well
>All four are homonyms.
it's an example of a shit connections clue
who the frick pronounces brat like bat?
Everyone?
broht vs bayt
doesn't make sense to me
You say brat like fricking BROTT?
What?
Neither of those are right you fricking animal.
?
Bat and Bat are homonyms, ape.
As in
>Brat
>Remove one letter
>bat
>Bat as in "baseball", bat as in animal with wings.
Also, how the frick do you pronounce brat?
Huh? Brat and bat rhyme. The only time brat is braat is when you throw a bratwurst on the grill.
Brawt
Bayut

Am I dyslexic if I read Palestine in this jumble of words
The wordle game would FILTER ESL’s on here pretty hard.
Imagine it as the captcha. Probably better than the
>please wait a while before making a post
that I keep getting.
There is only one way to play this game.
yeah, playing on hard you casual
only gays use words in plural
>using letters that were already eliminated
Shiiiiet
that's not a word. Sally is not a fricking word
It is tho? Part of a phrase anyway. Not sure if it is by itself.
>sally out
Me so sally
Thank you to the Chad who recommended Octordle. Shit almost broke my brain.
heh
Wa La
>double letter in the second guess
>brings back an already eliminated letter in the penultimate guess.
i have poor voab because i'm an ESL, gomenne
I didn't even think Sally was a word but something told me to try it 3rd guess
I bet a lot of streaks ended yesterday
READY
MOIST
PLUCK
Is my usual opening combo
This was bullshit on 4 I had SA__Y and guessed Savvy. Im going to sally forth and punch someone
