Wordle in a Minute - 8th February 2023

Sometimes it is emphatically NOT Wordle in a Minute - get the popcorn ...

I'll be honest it's nice to see you struggle a bit once in a while as well. As a non native speaker i often end up in these situations where i'm just aimlessly combining letters trying to figure out the word. So this was to me very relatable

0:57 “Llama! No, can't have another A.”
2:49 “It could begin A at the beginning.”

[SnowTheJamMan]

Even though i'm not a native speaker, and Mark is a much better wordsmith than me, i was able to guess flail faster, i consider this one of my proudest achievements haha.

Thank you for having the guts posting the not so well done tries as well. It shows you are at last a human being as we, the mortals, are as well ... and it shows even a crossword world champion sometimes struggles. No matter what, that makes you great and that is what people love about you and the CTC channel in general. Keep up!!

Once again, Wordle mocks us. Bad, bad Wordle!
So now Mark knows what Wordle is like for the rest of us. This video, exactly. 😉 (...Except for the obscure Scottish word. That's all 200 IQ stuff 😁)
Bravo, Mark, you got it in 5 guesses, and that's a win. Thank you for the video! 💝

It’s very cool how you do all your processing in your head. I have to type partial ideas in to see them. Sometimes I use x as a placeholder to let me type in downstream letters.

I'm out here yelling FLAIL 🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice~!

[davidkomai]

I flailed at this one as well. I laughed watching you go “no that’s not a word!” That’s usually how my guessing goes when I get stuck.

[zackrobat]

I loved this video! I love when you get them easily too but it's nice to see how well you handle the difficult ones. It's in keeping with how well you and Simon handle Sudoku mistakes when you have to backtrack in front of everyone.

This is the kind of word where being a gamer really helped me. Didn't do it yesterday but when I saw you solving, after plate I instantly got to flail.
It's truly surprising to me - at times - how many words I only know through gaming. But then again; I heavily struggle with everydays words and especially animals other than "snake" 😂

[Alex_Meadows]

Well done Mark! This ended my streak of 123 yesterday. Not because I couldn't find the word, but because I forgot to try 😬

[emilywilliams]

It took me a while to get this one. I had that same stack of green letters that you did and had to go through the “that’s not a word” litany. I’m so glad you kept your streak going! Thanks, Mark, for this Wordle in a minute!

[SeamusGunther]

Don't be upset at a bad attempt. You're still better than 99% of the people who play. I had to use a solver on my last guess to get it. Double L is rough

[TinkerTailor]

Poor Mark! I feel for him. Am sure I'd have been in the same boat had I not guessed llama early on. Don't beat yourself up too bad, Mark!

Mark’s opening word streak currently:

ADDAX BISON CAMEL DINGO ELAND FOSSA GENET HORSE INDRI JENNY KOALA LORIS MOUSE NYALA

Theme: 5-letter mammals, alphabetically

There are a few options for tomorrow’s word, like OTTER and ORIBI (another species of antelope). My favorite of them is OKAPI, the only giraffid that is not a giraffe

[TheEvanLewis]

This was me to a tee 😝 “FLAIL” was so the right word for puzzle!! I got F quite early so I managed it in 5 turns.

[OonaghTanner]

I watch you 2 days later here in NZ, makes me feel like part of a team - thank you 🌸Scare- Thank- Flail - look of bemusement that it was right!

[benwhite]

It would indeed have accepted ALAMO as a guess. I was afraid for Mark to try it given we already knew it wasn't a repeated A.

[alexbove]

0:52 "It's going to be a repeated letter, is it? Not a repeated 'L'!" Famous last words.

[elveleite]

Took me a long time too. Thanks for the upload! Have a nice day.
