Wordle in a Minute - 27th June 2024

#Wordling consistently over months is a very difficult thing to achieve - so a 50-day streak is not to be sniffed at

[roiporat]

Mark’s opening word sequence in full:

STUDY THUMB NOBLE BERYL BLAZE CLERK GREEK NAVAL FINAL HOUND EMPTY HOUSE BLACK PETER THREE ABBEY STAIN LODGE PLANS DYING STONE LIONS PLACE

Theme: The 5-letter words from Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes story titles, in order

And that’s the end of this sequence

My situational Wordle triumphs again. 😊
Was at work when I played and noticed a patient had brought in a large bottle of CIDER. The first thing to mind after that was ORDER for a lovely 2 score today. 🙂

I wonder why I never think to start with denim? I wear it every day. Thanks for the video, Mark.

[ZorlockDarksoul]

CRASH -> DRONE -> ORDER

We had CHAOS just about a month ago, and now we have its antithesis.

[StoneColdMagic]

"Bored" was the word that got me to order as well, albeit one guess more than Mark.

STEAK -> DEVIL -> HORDE -> BORED -> ORDER

[marcograzioli]

Crone - Error - Order

I spent maybe 5 minutes before trying Error, I couldn't think of anything else. After that, Order was a natural follow up 🙂

[jvx]

You make it look easy, Mark! Well done!!

[TheBT]

Funnily enough Bored was my first word that day so I got it in 2.

[poppymcdermott]

'We PLACEd our BORED DENIM in a suitable ORDER today'.

for this one my streak was 66, i was pleased to see that the answer was ORDER

[shirleyhenderson]

Offer and odder were guesses 4 and 5. 😮Yikes. 6s are scary. Streak is intact. 🎉

[MaxYT]

4 guesses for me.
Train -> Brush -> Prove -> Order

[EvanSawyer]

Stare > Loner > Offer > Order

I kept trying to find O**ER words to try and not repeat a letter with Offer but didn't consider that R could be the one that needed repeating.

[ZdzichuWiertara]

Here COMES my OGLED family, although in slightly ODDER ORDER

My chain of words:
Watch (3)
Never (3)
Again (5)
Still (4)
Would (3)
Break (4)
Chain (4)
Comes (4)

[jon]

This is weird without the music. I struggled to make traction on this one and scraped through in 6.

[Railbird_]

Wasn't sure about trying a repeated R this early but I'm glad I did.
MOTIF - SPORE - ORDER

[blcmd]

PLACE-TRIED-ORDER. Next up is a new unknown sequence. I’ll give LEAST a whirl as the starting word.

[gavindeane]

STORE - LONER - ORDER

Could have got this in two. I felt ORDER was likely after my first guess, but I didn't want to go with a repeated letter so early on. Should've gone with my gut feeling in the moment!

[johndaily]

I got very lucky with my first word; “money” eliminated all but 20 words. Yet it still took me 5 guesses, alas.

MONEY / OTHER / OLDER / ODDER / ORDER

[TinkerTailor]

Such a common word, don't know why I made it so hard. I always seem to think of everything but the most obvious.
