Ask HN: Do you still play Wordle?
- genjii931 3y agoYep
- sema4hacker 3y agoEvery morning. It's my self-administered test for Alzheimer's.
- romanhn 3y agoNope. Losing the first game after a 71-day streak cured me completely of the addiction.
- mikewarot 3y agoI stopped playing when NYT required a signup. I've never played since. These days I spend a lot of time playing untangle[1], usually at 100 or more points. It has nothing to do with word guessing. [1] https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/untangle.html https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/unta...
- yen223 3y agoI could play Wordle on NYT without a signup even now?
- beardyw 3y agoMy wife and I together do Wordle, Waffle, Xordle and my own take on Octordle every day. We are retired and in our 70s. My wife is getting better at it and I am getting worse. Xordle daily is favourite for both of us - solve two words at once. Use https://xordle.org/ https://xordle.org/
- happyrock 3y agoXordle is the most fun variant, the association between the two words is a nice little clue and they seem to come up with good puzzles every day
- mcdonje 3y agoI do the daily crossword and wordle is one of the games in the app, so I often end up doing it.
- cableshaft 3y agoThere's a Discord group I frequent that has a competitive 6-letter Wordle variant bot where you are all working on the same one at the same time, but you get one guess every 15 minutes and get points for getting new yellow or green letters revealed. And if no one solves it in an hour it resets with a new one. There's also a leaderboard for who has the most points. I find that one pretty addicting, in trying to make the best guesses or solve it out from under the other people playing. Since you only get one guess every 15 minutes, you have to make it count. That being said, I haven't played it as much recently, but I usually place a guess whenever I visit their chat.
- perilunar 3y agoOften, but not every day.
