What pissed me off about 'bloke' was that Wordle clearly uses an American dictionary (favour and that other one) buy 'bloke' is a slang word that's not used in the US. Grrr!

Wiki says: "Bloke is a slang term for a common man in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa."

I know, I know, it's only a game. But grrr!

Perhaps 'bloke' was to throw us Brits/Aussies a bone after the moans about missing out the u from humour. It'll be interesting to see if it annoyed America.

The word list is pretty much the same one that was originally devised, so BLOKE would certainly have been on it. The guy who wrote it is Welsh so I'm waiting for CWTCH to appear :lolol:

I was woken at 4.00 by the dog being sick so I started Wordle early today - took me ages but I scraped a three, when I chose correctly on a 50/50. Av 3.66

It took me forever to figure out any word that would work after all the exclusions revealed in the first three guesses. Tough today.

Just noticed that German Wordle works out your average for you (but only to one decimal place) - that's German efficiency for you

I also note that the French and German Wordles have different keyboards but ß isn't present on the German one. Welsh wordle uses QWERTY and, again, has no Welsh letters but it's not possible to put in non-Welsh letters: tap in V or Z and nothing happens.

Interesting how the game has been tweaked for non-English speakers

A toughie today, resulting in a five.

As usual, guessed wrong to save a par……...

Good save considering I only had one yellow and one green after 3 goes, but I all about the elimination leaving no other option (at least none that I could think of).

Tough Five. After three lines I’d unearthed ONE letter, so happy just to get through it!

Streak 60, average 3.87

God knows how I saved par there - total mess off the tee, fourth shot was literally the only one I could think of with what I had left.

Nervy times at the start when the half-century was at stake!

Current & Max Streak: 50

Average: 3.97
