Wordle in a Minute - 20th May 2024

There aren't many ways to get #wordle done in a minute without taking some chances occasionally ...

[roiporat]

Mark’s opening word sequence currently:

TRUTH KNOWN VIEWS FIRST FIXED MINDS OTHER THEIR HEARD ABOUT TAKEN CRIED YOUNG LARGE NORTH PLACE HOUSE THING GIRLS VISIT COMES WHICH STILL MIGHT PARTY WOMAN SHARE CASES

Theme: The 5-letter words from Jane Austen’s novel “Pride and Prejudice”, in order (SHARE and WOMAN were accidentally switched)

“In such cases, a woman has not OFTEN much beauty to think of.”

[nonumbersinusername]

great guess there, love Mark's reaction to unexpected right guesses

[poppymcdermott]

In some CASES, an OCTET sounds NICER than a quartet.

Stare > Loner > Nicer

Nicer was my natural next step to introduce the C.
I didn't think it'd be the answer though.
I was pleasantly surprised and glad I went for it.

[KeiFlox]

It's a delight when Mark is shocked by a right answer!

[jvx]

This took me 5, because I thought comparitives weren't allowed for the final answer.
Deftly done, Mark! 👏👏👏

[MarionFerris]

Nice solve in 3 Mark. Pretty nifty!
Mine in 4: PATIO-YIELD-SINGE-NICER

[pjay]

I always start wordle with
POINT
BUSHY
GLARE

15 distinct alphabets✅
Covers all vowels✅

No lesser used letters like X, Z etc.

[emilywilliams]

So amusing. Thanks for the daily fun, Mark.

[Railbird_]

The yellows and greens I found with my first two guesses almost forced me into the right answer.
GRAIN - RINSE - NICER

[jon]

I had some luck starting with slice and finished in 3. Slice>Cider>Nicer

[ZorlockDarksoul]

CHAOS -> WINCE -> NICER

Very useful second guess.

[TinkerTailor]

He certainly does rush through these at the end!

[RocksterOO]

Man, that was a rollercoaster, Mark: 😂
A L I E N
F I N E R
N I C E R

[Pomodorosan]

cases, octet, ricer, diced, the curse of double letters

[Ozzy.Kopec]

4 on my end. I will catch up, with a Mark’s starting words today.
⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛OUGHT
⬛⬛⬛🟨🟨SLAIN
⬛🟩🟨🟩⬛PINED
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩NICER

[Vitar]

OUGHT->PRICE->CIDER->NICER
Hopefully, this misalignment with the starting words ends tomorrow with OFTEN

[svensorensen]

I lucked out with "Rince" as a starting word. Took me a minute, because I didn't think "er" or "est" would be allowed.

[Freeman]

Because of you I started playing it and my mum also because of me
