It’s a record of your results - how many times you’ve guessed it in x turns.

Sixth go here as well. First time playing so my second guess was wasted as I misunderstood the colour code.

I got it on the 3rd guess! 8-)

I'm really enjoying Wordle. I like how there's only 1 puzzle a day, and we're all playing the same one. I've only been playing for 4 days, but have a 100% streak and 2 3rd guesses in a row.

American spelling is controversial though!

Yeah, this is quite a clever way of sustaining interest and adding a social element to a very simple game

A bit like a good chunk of video games then. Seems like a fun game anyway, even in the short-term.

Yeah, it's come out way too early in the year to be considered for GOTY as well - everyone will have forgotten about it by then!

Seriously, ADIEU is just boring. No one likes a minmaxer :capnscotty: Mix it up and start every day with a new first word.

I went with ADIOS for my first word, but I didn't really understand the game at that point!

ADIEU is the meta game

Is it the wordsearch type game, also called Wordle?

I have it on Steam and while I quite like it, the devs are bastards who won't be getting aanother penny of my money (they basically abandoned it during Early Access, started work on a sequel and did the same with that).

English language needs a balance patch, adieu is OP. I think it should get nerfed by changing the spelling to adew.
