Wordle in a Minute - 5th March 2024

#Wordle has been a disaster area (or near-disaster area) lately ... let's see what happens today

[Paraninja]

I completed this yesterday and was watching thinking, "Yeah, the answer's MUNCH, hope he gets it". Suffice it to say some of us do not have a memory as good as Mark's.

I love these regardless of the length. But so many moments of terror lately, Mark!

[imarshall]

Lost my 50 day streak on this one PUNCH on guess 3 with LUNCH/BUNCH/MUNCH/HUNCH still available. 😭 Glad you’re still in it Mark. Worst part is I HAD a HUNCH it was going to be HUNCH but I didn’t do it.

[johndaily]

My first guess yesterday happened to be “LIMBO”, which was wildly successful at preventing hard-mode heck. I’ve never been so happy with an all-grey first guess.

Mark’s opening word sequence currently:

SIXTY FIFTY FORTY EIGHT

Theme: The 5-letter numbers, from largest to smallest

Next one down is SEVEN. (I somehow forgot about 7? How?)

[Anne_Mahoney]

Holding my breath! I saw it wasn't a short and immediately worried about it. The trap was obvious but you got very, very lucky -- as so often. I guess it's true: when you're really good, you make your own luck! 😺💚

My own solve was similar: shirt, alone, munch, bunch, punch, hunch (and sigh of relief), bringing my current streak up to a magnificent TWO!

[maxmustsleep]

that was awfully close! congrats on saving your streak!

[ZdzichuWiertara]

I love that I regularly forget what was the word the day before (I need to do screenshots everyday, not just for in-twos), I was on edge of my seat with this one!

[EvanSawyer]

Stare > Cloud > Punch > Munch > Hunch

Wordle getting dangerous again.

[jvx]

omg, Mark, you have to stop doing this to us!
I'm so glad you didn't try "bunch"... well done, a well deserved win! 🥳🥳

[robjames]

I had a very lucky day - HOUSE followed by HUNCH!
Then I realised how many words it could have been.

[CyeMourii]

This one stopped my streak, but I'm glad to see that yours continues on!

[larryholcomb]

I had 5 yesterday, was in hard mode heck! Heard the music this morning. 😱. Was worried. Nice save!

[parabolica]

I’ve had a run of 6s recently too but managed this one in 2 yesterday - a welcome reprieve!

[masitaj]

Lunch was the answer not too long ago, relieved to see you survived another day

[Malle]

The answer coming in clutch today! Good job Mark!

[andymerrett]

Lost my streak, which was only at around 10 due to another rotter a couple of weeks ago, due to this. I got to the *UNCH on the second move and guessed all the wrong consonants.

[ZorlockDarksoul]

CHAOS -> WITCH -> LUNCH -> PUNCH -> MUNCH -> HUNCH

Down to the wire. I thankfully remembered BUNCH had been the answer before, but I did not remember LUNCH.

[velvta]

The sad music had me fooled there, I admit it.

[drianski]

Another close call of losing the streak 😱
