Wordle in a Minute - 23rd November 2024

Sometimes Mark can do #Wordle in a minute - Sometimes Mark can do Wordle, but not in a minute - Sometimes Mark cannot do Wordle ...

[@DrQuatsch]

Good thing you didn't think of messy. That could've made it all a lot messier.

[@DeJayHank]

Good thing* Yeah I thought the same haha.

[@j4v4x]

@@DeJayHank ditto

[@azrobbins01]

That was my guess.

[@coconuts2513]

Love it when Mark gets Wordle in a minute, not in a minute.

Mark’s opening word sequence currently: JERRY PETER CASTE REGAL RUBIO MUSIC SPRIG ROYAL EARLY QUARE TIMES TRUMP ANGLO TRADE NEVIS HALLO DANDY RHYME FRISK PARTY Theme: The 5-letter words in the names of winners of the Grand National horse race, in order As ROYAL Athlete (1995) was already used, the next two words should be ROUGH Quest (1996)

The Shrinking Wordle-verse Words left after Party - 182 After Veiny - 10 After Decoy - 7 (Belly, Leggy, Jelly, Beefy, Geeky, Messy, Meshy) After Beefy - 4 (Leggy, Jelly, Messy, Meshy) After Leggy - 1 After Jelly - 0 Messy and Meshy are not on the original list of 2309 legal Wordle answers. Belly, Leggy, Jelly, Beefy, and Geeky are. Skill: 79/99 Luck: 44/99 Data is from Wordlebot.

[@HWMREWesker]

Geeky can't be the answer after Beefy tho, because E can't be third

[@HaldaneSmith]

Yes, Meshy must be right after all. Thanks to both of you.

[@thomaschezzy3308]

Why is Welly not an option?

[@Jason820]

@@thomaschezzy3308 Americans call wellies "galoshes". Wordle will let you enter WELLY, but it will probably never be an answer word.

[@thomaschezzy3308]

@Jason820 what about giving something some welly, as in trying really hard. Is that not a separate usage of the word welly from wellington boots?

[@MarionFerris]

OMG Mark! I almost chewed my fingernails off watching your suffering. What a relief you finished in tact. Mine was somewhat less anxiety ridden with a 4 ASIDE ENVOY JERKY JELLY 🎉🎉🎉

[@emilywilliams3237]

Your influence is strong, Mark, as shown by my trying TELLY before JELLY. Well done on getting it, and never despair over the 300-second minutes. It is interesting to hear your verbal analysis.

[@andersweinstein]

Telly and Welly are Britishisms. They might be accepted as guesses, but would not be solution words in the American English used by Wordle.

[@Anne_Mahoney]

Mine was worse: I went via FELLY! But I did get it, eventually, in 6: shirt, gland, vowel, plume, felly, jelly. I felt lucky that I never thought of belly.

[@emilywilliams3237]

@@Anne_Mahoney I think I also tried WELLY. My goodness, and I never thought I was an anglophile!

[@KurtBorek]

Kelly is also an option

[@Anne_Mahoney]

@@emilywilliams3237 You hang out here -- doesn't that make us all at least partly anglophiles? 😺

[@TinkerTailor4303]

It's uncanny how often Mark tries to talk himself out of the correct answer! Can't you hear all of us yelling at you, Mark?!😅

[@EricMill]

He was right to wait to try it though, strategically!

[@TinkerTailor4303]

​@@EricMillHow so? It took six tries.

[@VaughanMcAlley]

With hindsight, BELLY would have signalled BEEFY, JELLY and LEGGY (I didn’t see MESSY either).

[@marilyngardner4269]

Good point!

[@chazjamesn]

Your longer solves are my favourites; well done! 😅

[@bethanyweber3989]

So much for trying building up a reasonable streak, I failed this because I went for WELLY and BELLY without even thinking of JELLY. :-/

[@TinkerTailor4303]

Also Telly, but I did get it in six. (I'm surprised our British friends, including Mark, didn't think of that.)

[@SimonSideburns]

@@TinkerTailor4303 He'd already ruled out the T in the first guess, so maybe even if he thought of it there wasn't much point saying it out loud.

[@Catra7]

Good work, Mark! Phew! I got an astonishing two today with ANGLE > JELLY!

[@HenkPeels]

I tend to just sacrifice one go. Go for ‘smell’ to probe for some of the prime candidates

[@peterh.3036]

Veiny jelly sounds lovely

[@mickeyjupp1]

Love it what Mark gets stuck. Seems more human somehow.

[@ZorlockDarksoul]

CRASH -> NIFTY -> BUMPY -> GODLY -> JELLY After NIFTY, I thought it very likely to have a double L, so I tried to cram as many other consonants in before then. It paid off.

[@pianoish]

I like when wordle in a minute is relatable.

[@sonalita_]

TRAIN-CHOSE-JELLY for me. I got very lucky.

[@leglessAlex]

This one did for me, mostly from just not paying attention. Gutted.

[@missioncardiac7599]

I tried not to over think this, and I've lost the fear of losing my streak (it's strangely liberating), so got an all green 5: PARTY NOISY FULLY BELLY JELLY

[@Murdog_YT]

Nice. This took me all six too

[@archivist17]

Well saved!

[@dibot]

Don't forget about MESSY

[@phileo_ss]

That's what I was thinking too.

[@Taversham]

Word puzzles do weird things to your brain, in no other context would someone think of MESHY multiple times without the thought MESSY even occuring 😂

[@EvanSawyer4]

Stare > Lined > Cello > Jelly I was very lucky with my choices there. I'm specially glad I went with Cello even though it has a double letter.

[@michaelmurray6187]

Stare - Liken - Jelly

[@EvanSawyer4]

@ Okay. Now I’m less glad i went with Cello. You went straight to Jelly with basically the same info as me.

[@dibenp]

I kept wanting him to put in selfy. 😂

[@sianmanton5168]

I got it in 6 too Mark, tricky one I thought

[@marcograzioli4642]

It took me six attempts too. Space - Tower - Denim - Geeky - Belly - Jelly

[@Vitar1988]

PARTY->SOULY->JELLY. Got through relatively lightly, it seems

[@Max1996YT]

Got it in 4 Snowy -> Privy -> Delay -> Jelly

[@guanyin19]

Got this one in two. GRAPE, then JELLY. I was so proud, and then lost my streak this morning again 🤦‍♂

[@Anne_Mahoney]

Grape + jelly is inspired, though.

[@annastevenson7296]

BEEFY, MESSY, LEGGY, JELLY, BELLY, GEEKY were left after DECOY.

[@blcmd]

PARTY-SLIMY-BELLY-JELLY. Next up, we’re going to have a ROUGH Quest (1996) as our starting word.

[@KurtBorek]

You could also have had Kelly. Like the color Kelly green.

[@RocksterOO1]

At only 36:00 seconds, Mark, after your third guess you said, "Jelly" or "Belly", and then paused to give it some serious thought. 😁 I, on the other hand, charged ahead (as usual), at virtually the same point (guess three), never having even considered, "Leggy" or "Beefy", and here's my result, fwiw: A L I E N N O B L E Q U E L L B E L L Y J E L L Y I did come up with, "Seemy" as well, however. But only while I was watching this vid! 😜

[@jimmybelanger1888]

I never put Y last on my first guess on hard mode for this reason.

[@shantamorshed594]

I also got 6 guesses yesterday

[@ripha8215]

Can anyone tell me what the background music for those videos is?

[@marilyngardner4269]

CRASH > MOUNT > GLIDE > JELLY. I usually avoid trying J because I believe J is the least commonly used letter, but BELLY sounded like a past answer so I tried jelly first.

[@TinkerTailor4303]

The fact that it is uncommon is why I think Wordle would use it!

[@Railbird_]

Same hard mode pattern for me, ended up getting it in 5. CHEWY - MEATY - NERDY - BELLY - JELLY

[@jamesp1844]

I've paused playing wordle as nyt tech workers are on strike.

[@andrewgrant6516]

It's raining outside where's my other WELLY?

[@ubersham]

CRATE FLESH JELLY I actually got really lucky that JELLY was my first thought after FLESH, so I tried it. I wonder if TALLY (on the 17th) had something to do with it.

[@chizzicle]

I completely forgot to do wordle on satuday, so I never had to deal with this. Trying to think how my guesses would've gone but since I would've gotten a yellow L from my first guess FLAIR, I dunno where I would've gone from there, and impossible to simulate it since I know the answer already.

[@dianeweiss4562]

Wordle in three.

[@abletochangeone]

MESSY was also a possibility…

[@gammaknife167]

Could the last word have been WELLY? Is that a word? Like a wellington boot, or to do something with welly, with vigour?

[@michaelmurray6187]

I'm sorry to report that WELLY isn't a word with which we Americans are very familiar, so it's very unlikely to ever be the answer.

[@firesandflowers]

SPARE -> BLEND -> EXTOL -> GUILE -> JELLY ...obviously guile was a mistake & couldn't have been it, I forgot I'd ruled out "e" with my first guess, but it did rule out everything else, so it was useful!

[@j4v4x]

I'm very glad you didn't think of MESSY, I got this in 4 after trying SPELL, lucky me! Congratulations, Mark, and thanks for the video!! Phew!! 👏👏👏

[@sbm1978]

Nice, SPELL was answer a couple weeks back

[@MarekNowakowski]

probably good You didn't see messy ;)

[@stephennichol3620]

I had been watching too much Letterkenny so i tried Celly before Jelly

[@longwaytotipperary]

I use “rinse” “octal” and “dumpy” as my lead in words every day. Got them from a marathon video Simon put out a while back. They work very well most of the time. All vowels and no repeat letters. Then again, I don’t do hard mode.

[@smahoney1212]

I use that same approach. I lost my streak today trying belly and kelly

[@longwaytotipperary]

@ sorry.

[@QwDragon]

I'm sure LEGGY has been an answer. I may be wrong, but I think it was one of the answers you failed on? Or was it Rangsk?

[@coyote4237]

Didn't think of Messy?

[@mikekeenanphd]

Usually when Mark takes this long, it was on a hard word. But jelly wasn't all that hard was it?

[@TinkerTailor4303]

I think he thought it had been used before.

[@jon540]

I didn't it was that bad. Steam>Probe>Filed>Jelly

[@andymerrett]

Forgot to record my guesses but I did eventually get it. Think it was a 5 or a 6.

[@grant50]

MESSY!

[@mikemcculley]

BELLY as a 4th guess would have been good because it would provide information for BEEFY, LEGGY, and JELLY.

[@hidalgobuscato7957]

It could have been "Messy"?

[@castelodeossos5042]

Ha ha, got it in four, and pretty fast. Partly because could take the time to check that BELLY had already been a solution, and my third guess precluded TELLY: AROSE EQUIP TWEET JELLY

[@JourneytoIxtlan]

If he had followed the, "If you think of a word, put it in" rule, he would have finished in 4 and in under a minute.

[@rainerzufall42]

"Wordle ten an hour"

[@kimh6979]

Can you turn down the music or better yet, get rid of it altogether

[@ninjafruit816]

JOLLY was the answer on 4/21/2024.

[@Sponsie1000]

According to the analyser, the only available words with 3 new letters after DECOY are BEEFY/FEELY/SEELY/SELFY/FEYLY/JEELY/MESHY/SELKY/SESEY/YEUKY. Lots of really obsolete/obscure words, funnily enough SELFY and MESHY would have been accepted tries, eventhough Mark decided to discard them.

[@medal45]

I thought about belly and jelly after my 4th guess. Luckily, I chose the right one first: ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ OTTER ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ CHEAP ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ FEIGN ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ DELVE 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 JELLY
