Whatever you do, DON'T SOLVE THIS WORDLE!!!

Solving today's #DontWordle for Monday, October 10th. DontWordle is like the opposite of #wordle, where the goal is NOT to solve the wordle.

Scott had a very hard time trying to fail a Wordle

[@thechosen9035]

I like how you see how quickly the possible answer list gets smaller with even 1 or 2 letters confirmed/eliminated, therefore showing that getting a proper wordle quickly isnt neccesarily cheating (it went from over 3000 to just 160 something in just 1 guess)

[@janpaolocanteras4086]

This is now on my "must play every day" list.

[@MelonMilotic]

I started with puppy for Don’t Wordle today. Had to change that.

[@StroSolves]

Probably not a bad start most days.

[@LuigiFan1akaStar]

When you "solve" a Don't Wordle: *Congratulations! You failed!*

[@anenglishvillageforroberti2863]

Actually it will say like this : "Oh no, you accidently Wordled!!"

[@gibranadnan5788]

My first word was Phpht and was a little surprised with the double P, and decided to undo. After that I went with Xylyl and was extremely surprised to see both the Y and L, so had to undo again. It did help me avoid the word for the entire game though

[@StroSolves]

So the point of the game is to fail to solve a wordle, and by initially failing to fail, you managed to succeed. 🤔

[@The_Potato_Fam]

This is a fun challenge to play! Now this, this is going to be my daily game! Thanks for suggesting, Scott!

[@JimmyjacobsOG7]

It's so interesting hearing Scott's thought process

[@thogg11]

Love Don't Wordle! Would love to see more of them. If you click on the numbers on the side, it will show you all the possible words you could have chosen.

[@joshkindy4826]

Thats fun, more please.

[@Craznar]

I've tried to do this a few times on the wordle grid, glad someone implemented it. Except my version you could reuse grays, but your score was based on how many greens and yellows you got without getting the final answer.

[@rokojakovic2001]

Hey Scott, i don't know if you knew this, but notice how the numbers at the right changed to the blue when you solved the game. If you click on them, they tell you what were the possibilities left after that guess.

[@BorisGamingChannel]

You could have done xylyl too

[@heberth.reinstein]

I guessed PUPPY as my second guess, had to undo 🙃, there was only two valid words after puppy, but the advantage was that I knew the answer, so it was easier.

[@QwDragon]

Undo on green allows you to avoid this place and letter in future guesses to win. Still waiting for periodle (heptaveegesimal).

[@FightingForceSoulless]

Those obscure words like XYLYL should be the way to go for this one. That and XVIII, PIZZA and other wordle "nonsense"

[@StroSolves]

XYLYL would be a good one. I'll have to try that next time.

[@dietdrphilm8473]

Not this one because L be green and Y be yellow.

[@joebogle3172]

My strategy is to find some greens and undoing and avoiding one of those letters

[@benjulesrun9057]

wow I wanna try this tomorrow and see if I can do as well/poorly as you did

[@dietdrphilm8473]

Slyly be a good one

[@johnmcverry]

Also can you start with Bases and Balls because of the mlb postseason

[@keychera]

Wow interesting rule! Now the next rite of passage is to use the same day wordle answer as the starting word!

[@j-man4317]

Good job I used 2 undos and I think another good starting word is QAJAQ, like MAMMA but uses less common letters than M, and also PZAZZ, a lot of Z's

[@TDR445]

Here is a good word to start with QAJAQ as long as there is no a

[@finlandtaipan4454]

Gotta try this game.

[@theredsparrow4882]

You should try a game called Caesardle

[@zcmini000]

This was fun, but I think it would be better without the "undo" option. *SPOILERS* I guessed "PUPPY" on my 3rd guess, and it told me I had to undo since there were only 2 options left and I had to get 3 more guesses. Scoring should've just been "you made it to 4/5/6 guesses".

[@tornadothetwixter3186]

Nice job!

[@heatherwendt9213]

if doing a don't wordle start with xylyl for over 8000 possibilities left

[@Blackfromstickworld]

Fun fact: the last 2 words were gulpy (I think) and pulpy

[@krzysztof-michalak]

It would be nice to see the wordle keyboard (even a little one at the corner) for the people who use it to be able to play along

[@seahawkzsk3461]

For a don’t wordle, you could start with NYMPH. No vowels and has some uncommon letters like y, m, and maybe p.

[@waicheng1227]

When the word is pzazz xylyl crwth or cwtch

[@blanket_pillow8073]

Scott should start a normal worldle with the first three words of don’t worldle that he uses

[@anirudhgovada2753]

For some reason when I play wordle I fail and when I play dontwordle I fail by wordling

[@leonardowoo3056]

I did puppy as first word and I thought I just lost on first guess.

[@FigBug]

I play pretty regularly, my starting words are COCCO MAMMA SUSUS XYLYL VIVID WHERE

[@conorpillay4315]

I feel like another approach could be to do like a 3 word start to get as much information as possible about the word, then undo those and avoid the letters you know are in it. Great solve!

[@Nulono]

Reusing letters that are found is mandatory.

[@birdtweettweet2306]

Nice not solve! What if you started with xylyl next don’t Wordle? Might be a good starting word considering it has an x.

[@Danny15]

did this one for the first time today as well, Reeve > Mamma > Dizzy > Slyly > Loony > Bulky

[@rainbowswordgaming]

You do not have to reuse the yellows. Just don't use the same alphabet in the same position, you can literally just not use it until you're out of ideas.

[@StroSolves]

Except you definitely do have to reuse the yellows. It's quite clear in the rules.

[@locomotivetrainstation6053]

3:10 don't know why it's so popular for people to copy to wordle answer list, wordles answer list sucks they have words like "sooth" and "gipsy" and they don't have "panda" or "squid"

[@StroSolves]

I kinda wish no one could see the answer list.

[@locomotivetrainstation6053]

@@StroSolves I don't mind seeing the list, I ignore it anyways unless it's my 6th guess, also my predictions for the list weren't insanely far off from reality

[@derpyderp1991]

Well I've finally failed a don't wordle I guessed chill though I only had 5 other words to choose from

[@joshr_x]

Sadly guessed Xylyl and got the green l and the yellow y :(
