You guessed the right _ouch word the first time, you lucky dog! I was having a hard time choosing between couch and vouch. Me too, but in my case I didn’t realize I had already ruled out the opening “C”. So that’s an error, but overall I’m fairly happy despite this going to six guesses. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The convention seems to go pouch, couch, vouch plus touch first for those who have not yet eliminated t. I think we were all thinking of couch when we typed that. Pouch just seems to spring to mind first. Maybe it is the anti double letter bias. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted May 25, 2022 Share #19 Posted May 25, 2022 after I got FOUND, I was pretty sure the consonent blend was CH to end the word, so I started going throught the alphabet. COUCH seemed to obscure to me and POUCH seemed to fit better. I did not proceed past P so , TOUCH and VOUCH were not in play yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually he normally does post the details of him trying to outsmart mr Wordle. Not today though 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What made you go with a 'V' instead of the more commonly used 'T' or 'P'? If you have read my previous comments on Wordle puzzle solving, you might remember that I use a method where I try to put myself in the chair of the Wordle word selector and pick the word out of all the possibilities that seems the most obscure or least likely to come to mind. You may also remember that this method has failed more often than it has worked. But I can't help myself. It is something that I have always done when playing any sort of word puzzle. I try to put myself in the place of the puzzle maker and choose the answer that I would select if I was him or her. As I say, it fails most of the time, but when it is successful, it results in a wonderful feeling of, "Hah, I win!!" If I was the Wordle guy and I was selecting today's word, I would have chosen VOUCH because I would have assumed that it would be the least likely to be guessed out of the TOUCH, POUCH, COUCH, VOUCH combo. Today my "strategy" worked. OTOH, it was probably just dumb luck. But I like to think that by using my meager intellect and my very limited knowledge of human behavior, I somehow managed to outsmart the smart puzzle guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to not do that because I end up like that guy on 'The Princess Bride' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
