Wordle - Quordle Thread

Today when doing Quordle I started thinking the bottom left was related to "Jonny, no mates" - "Wordle, no letters"!

Close shave on both puzzles this morning for me...

Wordle 484 5/6

Daily Quordle 265
7️⃣6️⃣
9️⃣5️⃣
 
I've been doing Wordle for some time now with a group of relatives in the USA. I'd tried Quordle and got hopelessly confused, but I've just tried Nerdle for the first time as I was always better with numbers than letters. Pleased to have got it in 4 - not bad for a first attempt. But bragging rights go to Wordle today - got it in 2 for only the 5th time in almost 200 days. I use PIANO and STEAM usually as starters but tried something different today for a change.
 
Wordle in 5 this morning. Quordle in 7, 6, 8, 3. Just slid in on the last go, on Octordle, score 72.
Do you all play the regular or the hard version of Wordle? Son makes me play the hard version, where once you’ve got a letter correct, either gold or green, you have to use it in subsequent goes.

Whelp! I just asumed that's the way everybody chooses to play it: green = use same letter in same place; gold = use same letter in a different place; grey = don't use letter at all. Otherwise you're just not using all the info available & it's harder/longer to win, no?

Sometimes there’s an advantage, say you got four out of five letters correct on the first couple of goes, and you can see more options for words than you’ve got spaces left (happened to me yesterday). By choosing a completely different word next go, with a lot of the last unguessed letter options in it, you can eliminate enough of them to go on and guess the word correctly before you run out of lines.
 
A very mediocre 4 for me with Wordle today (did it last night before bed) and 6 4 9 and 8 for Quordle. Not attempted Octordle yet.
I have considered doing what @Robin suggests above to try to get or eliminate options when there are too many for the final word but I haven't actually tried it and didn't know that there was a version where you couldn't deviate from the correct letters you have already got, so to be honest I don't know which version I am playing.... just the one that comes up when I click the "Wordle New York Times" option.

If you press the cog symbol for settings, there’s a button to press for hard mode. Also,if you’re in hard mode and you accidentally forget to use a guessed letter, it objects!

I always pick my start word from the book I’m presently reading. The first five letter word from the next page I’m due to read. It throws up some stinkers sometimes but it’s a challenge. Today I stupidly got the word, which spookily was the same as yesterday, but I inputted it wrong and got it in three. Happy with that.
 
In 3 today

Ok, that's clear - thanks.
 
Aahgh! Wordle in 6, too many options again.
 
@MikeyBikey 45 mins!! Blooming heck! Usually takes me about 5, maybe slightly less today. Scored 60 today whatever that means. Maybe you just need to get used to the format and then you will get quicker.
@NotWorriedAtAll posted a link to a 64 one the other day if I remember rightly..... that took me a bit longer 🙄

The score is just the summation of all your guesses with a default of 14 if you fail to guess a word. The lowest possible score is 36 and the highest 112 - the lower the score the better you are doing!

P.S. Are you from Yorkshire?
 
Oh if you want more....
