I lost Wordle yesterday after a 145-day streak. Who else plays this stupidly frustrating game?
Photo: Screenshot of my Wordle stats: 180 games played, 99% won, current streak 0 games, maximum streak 145 games.

Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”
The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!
5. Have fun!

I just noticed that I hit 200 today with 100% record. But that’s not correct because I definitely stuffed one up in there sometime and I’ve also forgotten one day. So the longest streak is only 76. I have to figure a way to stop this stupid addiction.

Even if you missed a couple, well done! I think the only way to stop playing is to change our habits. Morning coffee reminds me to play … I ain’t giving up coffee, though, so I may be doomed. 😛

I’m hoping that missing a few in a row might somehow break the addiction, or maybe getting to 150 in a row or something might make it feel right to retire. Because I’m not giving up coffee either.

I’m going for 365 in a row. So yeah, I need the coffee. Best of luck, whatever you decide. 🙂

365! A bridge too far. I can’t even be confident of drawing breath long enough to achieve that!

I play it when I have time. Not every day. It may say it is a game I view it as mental gymnastics and nothing more. I try to vary my first word. If you choose well it gives clues which way to go. If not oh well !

I’m hooked! So far doing okay but I’ve never gotten the word in less than three tries.

The one I got off the bat was the starter word I’m still using. I tried changing it (because obviously it’s never going to come up again as the word of the day), but I did so much worse without it that I switched back. My two-guess puzzles were lucky guesses as were a lot of my three-guess answers.
It’s so addictive!

I lost yesterday, too 😦 I didn’t have a long streak going, I had lost once in June. I hate it when you have the 1st, 2nd and last letter and you can think of 8 words that work.

When I have more than one guess left, I use as many of those possible letters in a throwaway word that can’t possibly be correct, but that will show me (hopefully) what I’m missing. That often doesn’t work when there’s a double letter in a word, and that’s what tripped me up yesterday. 😛

Yes Wordle is very frustrating. Initially I played along with the kids and we were definitely competitive. My longest streak is 63 I think but my eldest son took great delight in posting a screenshot of his 100 % record and 100 streak which beat all of us. I think he got up to about 130+ before finally failing.
