Nowadays, nights normally finish with me checking out the next day's newspaper headlines. Then I load up the latest "Wordle" puzzle courtesy of "The New York Times". A new "Wordle" comes on line at midnight every day, replacing the previous day's puzzle.
Above you can see a snip of last night's "Wordle" and how I reached the answer which was "UTTER". I reached it on my fifth attempt. Below is my overall record. I have only failed to reach the correct word on four occasions out of the 451 "Wordles" I have attempted so far. It's not a nice feeling when you fail to make it.
Recently, after finishing the day's "Wordle" I have then gone on to test my geographical knowledge by playing the day's "Worldle". It always starts with the silhouette of a country before opening up questions linked to that country. Can you guess which country is shown below?
It's Peru!
As with "Wordle", the day's new "Worldle" comes online bang on midnight.
I guess this is how retired people approaching seventy are meant to fill their time. It keeps us off the streets, occupied and out of sight. The mental exercise should help us to stave off dementia.
Your solution of wordle is almost identical to mine. I didn't use grape but the others are the same. Great minds, I say. I am now going to find worldle.
ReplyDeleteWithout Wordle and the other puzzles, we oldies would be grumbling to the newspapers about things that annoy us.
DeleteI got UTTER on my second guess. Ha!
ReplyDeleteBoasting is forbidden in this blog!
DeleteI do Wordle, Worldle, Statele, Statle and now a couple new ones-Wheretakenusa.teuteuf.fr and wheretaken.teuteuf.fr I love geography puzzles and did quite well on todays. (although the Worldle for me today was Somalia, not Peru)
ReplyDelete"Today" is different all over the world.
DeleteI didn't know you were a Wordler, though I should have guessed!
ReplyDeleteI do it every day and it's a big talking point at work.
I play on all different devices so I don't have a record of all my scores. I'm pretty sure you do better than I do :)
I am addicted to it and need my fix every day Kylie.
DeleteBy the way, I think you'd enjoy Globle, too
ReplyDeleteGloble sounds like a disease.
DeleteI hadn't heard of Worldle before. sounds interesting. You just gave me the answer for todays Wordle.
ReplyDeleteIt was yesterday's but I guess the time difference meant it was still current in Alberta.
DeleteI have never played Worldle so I may look for it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit like heroin Bob. Addictive!
DeleteSometimes there are questions like the Worldle one in our pub quiz. More often than not, the one who guesses them correctly is our team member Brian, who keeps travelling the world extensively, and remembers even the most curious facts about where he's been. I would not have known that the silhouette shown on your post is Peru.
ReplyDeleteGood old Brian!
DeleteThanks for spoiling those for me! We do them after lunch.
ReplyDeleteIt was yesterday's!
DeleteOops. sorry! I thought you said it was after midnight and I obvs didn't remember what the answers were from the day before!
DeleteHuh! No point in me trying today now.
ReplyDeleteIt was yesterday's!
DeleteI've only glanced at Wordle on odd occasions but never sat down to work it through. These days, with work to be done outside and painting (both house and recreational) to be done, and a new dog to settle in, I don't have time to do crosswords, let alone search for new brain teasers. Perhaps when winter comes I may have more time!
ReplyDeleteI'm not going anywhere near wordle. I feel stupid enough when I can't solve the daily crossword, which doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
ReplyDeleteUse it or lose it as they say.
ReplyDeleteI do Wordle and I do crosswords. I am not getting better at either.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
I have never tried a Wordle though I hear about them all the time. I have a hard enough time keeping up with blogging!
ReplyDeleteI suck at wordle and I tried worldle and I know even less about the shape of countries it seems:)
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have word games like these for the older folks, for when they're not skipping about on scaffolding.
I've never played Wordle and I would be no good at Worldle as I stink at geography. I do crossword puzzles everyday and I spend a lot of computer time playing Solitaire.
ReplyDeleteI tell myself I'm keeping my brain sharp but really I am just wasting time, Neil!
I hadn't heard of Worldle and I want to try it. Thank you! I'll have to tell my brother who is a geography junkie about it. We compare our Wordle results each morning. (nothing like added pressure)
ReplyDeleteI hope you do the bonus rounds on the Worldle, you have to guess the neighbouring countries, the capital city, the flag, the population and the currency.
ReplyDeleteI once missed my tram stop as I was engrossed in a quiz like Worldle. I was rather surprised at how well I did. I can only remember not identifying Turkey and a South American country.
