Sunshine and Wordle



 Today it is sunny and although it is still very cold, if you are outside, you can feel the warmth of the sun.


I always like shadows on the snow. At this time of year in the countryside, things are very mono chromatic ( well maybe dual chromatic) with white and variations on brown dominating. 

I am enjoying the new internet game, Wordle. It took a bit of doing to find the original game as there are lots of apps and imitations out there ( at least, I think I’m playing the original one). This is a game where you must guess a five letter word and have only a few chances to guess it correctly. It indicates if you have guessed a letter correctly and if that letter is in the correct spot or not. I love word games and this one really appeals to me. You also get a summary of how you’ve done so far. Here’s mine.

  1. It hurts my brain to think about playing that. :o)

  2. You're playing the right one. I love it too. I play it every morning while I'm drinking my first coffee. Then I immediately text my sister to compare how I did with her.

  3. I've heard about the game, as it does seem to be all the rage. But so far I've resisted. Probably because I think I'd get frustrated if I couldn't figure out a five letter word. I'll stick with crosswords. :)

  4. I'll have to look up Wordle. I haven't heard of it. I do like word games like this. Presently I seem to have accumulated a lot of people who have challenged me to Word with Friends and have about 10 active games going. Fun but trying to keep it all straight can be a challenge :)

    Glad the sun is out! It never feels quite as cold with the little bit of warmth from the sun!

  5. I play a solo word puzzle and Spades. My daughter plays a word came with a few cousins.

  6. I love Wordle too and have hooked a few other people on it too, LOL! So far I've gotten every daily word, although some days it was nip and tuck. Today I got the word on the fourth try! Yahoo!

  7. This sounds like an alphabetic variation of the numerical Mastermind which I was mad about as a kid. Puzzles are so satisfying when they're solved.

  8. I love Words with Friends. I grew up playing Scrabble, but the app kept freezing, so I went to Words with Friends.

  9. Hi everyone, thanks for your comments. Yes, Wordle has been compared to Mastermind. I don’t know Words with Friends- maybe it’s something I should look into!

    1. There’s no “ getting “, you just go on the internet- it’s totally free, not an app. You can use the picture of my results that I posted to help you find it, perhaps.

    1. Yes, that’s the one I’m playing. I got today’s word on the third try! Felt smugly proud of myself. Biggest thing I’ve accomplished in days, haha!

  16. Sunny days do wonders for us, don't they?
    I've heard of this game. I might need to try it. I love words games as well!

  18. My daughter enjoys that game. I have not played it, so I'll ask her.

  19. Patience above! Another wordle fan! It seems this puzzle is everywhere, although I haven't met anyone who doesn't like it.
    I too like the snow and shadows; the white and black are lovely.

  22. Wordle seems to be all the rage. I, myself, am obsessed with the New York Times Spelling Bee (wrangle words) and their mini-crossword.
