Wordle - Quordle Thread

My starting word lead me astray on Quordle. One of those teasers where you have 3 letters and the 4th can only be one letter but the first letter could be one of 3. So there is a temptation to go for a 2 or it could end up being 4 if you are unlucky, but those 3 guesses at worst only get you a couple of extra letters or eliminate those 2 letters. I tried to resist the temptation and use my normal second word as I couldn't work out an elimination word that would work with the 3 possible first letters. Typically my normal second word gave me nothing so I went back to the word I almost had and then wasted 3 lives to get it anyway! Grrh! As a result I flunked!

Decent enough result here (3+20+54=77). Lately I have been using TREAD as my starter word, which has been quite lucky for me.

Another decent result this morning (3+21+56=80). A couple of 50/50 calls didn’t go my way, but overall I can’t complain.

Scoring for Octordle is the same as Quordle - just add up the numbers for each of the eight grid cells. What makes it a little confusing is that the app shows a clock symbol for 11/12, for some odd reason. I use TREAD as a starter word. If that comes up blank I try NOISY as the second word. Between those two I cover most of the vowels and the most common consonants. Not sure if that makes sense but it works for me…

Octordle for a reasonable 56

Congrats to @saffron15 on your great Quordle score today.
 
Decent enough result for main three puzzles (4+18+56=78).

For the weekly challenge I picked DELTA as the starting word and ended up with a score of 24.

Maybe I will get to try the Weekly Challenge tomorrow but Quordle is proving to be my nemesis at the moment.
