Wordle in a Minute - 27th April 2024

Trying to make a short out of #Wordle in a Minute can be tough sometimes ...

[@Houndzable]

Love the way you get annoyed with yourself. Thanks again for the only thing on KZbin I deliberately set out to view everyday.

[@Railbird_]

Gleam is one of those random words that I use quite often and it finally paid off today. MIGHT - GLEAM

[@andymerrett]

I find it fascinating that Mark often knows when a particular guess is correct before it is fully displayed.

[@hassanatwi673]

Seems bit weird without the music and with the editing

[@Nartymer]

And the subway surfer gameplay on the side

[@JourneytoIxtlan]

Yeah, this is the first time that I've ever noticed a jump cut.

[@roiporat8833]

Mark’s opening word sequence currently: TRUTH KNOWN VIEWS FIRST FIXED MINDS Theme: The 5-letter words from Jane Austen’s novel “Pride and Prejudice”, in order Sorry for the delay, comments were disabled for a while and I didn’t check back “…that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or OTHER of their daughters.”

[@poppymcdermott837]

There was a GLEAM in the MINDS of the GAMER group as they upped the TEMPO of the attack.

[@dibenp]

Good one. I found it tricky to make a sentence because “gleam” is usually the root of a verb for me, as in “their eyes gleamed”.

[@poppymcdermott837]

@@dibenp I just love how flexible English is in its anthimeria. 😅

[@David_K_Booth]

​@@poppymcdermott837Yes - almost any noun can be verbed. 😊

[@sechabaxc8320]

you edited the video 🙂 that's cheating, prof.

[@Paraninja]

STARE GLEAM Honestly no idea how I come up with guesses like that but happy when I do!

[@michaelmurray6187]

I had Stare > Clean > Gleam

[@j4v4x]

I also got it in 4, but I think it took 20 minutes. 😁 Well done, Mark!! 👏👏👏

[@dibenp]

My third guess is FLAME after Mark‘s first two words.

[@Colossal_Donut]

Got it in 3. MINDS -> THERM -> GLEAM

[@potato4dawin1]

I got it in 3, almost 2. HORSE -> GLEAR -> GLEAM

[@emilywilliams3237]

I enjoy these shorts so much! Thanks, Mark. (I might have to start with TWERP today, so amusing!)

[@TinkerTailor4303]

I love that word, it's so expressive!

[@sidrat2009]

My starting word is STEAM. I just like it. There's also JOINT for a vowel variation.

[@fakjbf3129]

Minds > Ample > Camel > Realm > Gleam. First time I’ve ever had four yellow letters and needed multiple guesses to find the right combination.

[@Max1996YT]

Got this one in 4 guesses. Royal -> Clean -> Pleas -> Gleam

[@Skyfaill]

A solid 3 with only greens. CHEAP -> STEAM -> GLEAM

[@missioncardiac7599]

MINDS FRAME GLEAM

[@Anne_Mahoney]

This one took me 5, but I did get there in the end: shirt, alone, flake, plead, gleam. I don't think flake was particularly good.

[@EvanSawyer4]

Stare > Decal > Gleam I was struggling to remember if this was 3 and Vapid was 4 or the other way around.

[@jon540]

I wasted a guess going for a plural but I was feeling a bit stuck. It gave me what I needed to finish in 4. Wheat>Bread>Fleas>Gleam

[@Ozzy.Kopec1]

If you had Mark’s world knowledge you would have probably tried FLEAM instead of FLEAS 😅

[@castelodeossos5042]

The way Mark has GAMER and knows at once that it's GLEAM is why he's the champ and I"m not. Got it in three but pure guesswork: BUILT LOSER GLEAM

[@azrobbins01]

I prefer these when there is no music!

[@thad1296]

The ny times wordles are always so easy. Im not even a native speaker and I literally never got one wrong

[@manc_lass]

I literally have no idea what's happening here 😂

[@TinkerTailor4303]

Such an odd word, but he gets it in four anyway!

[@RocksterOO1]

I was kinda slow on this one: A L I E N S L A T E B L E A K C L E A R G L E A M

[@guestgreenstein4726]

2. BLAME 3. BLAME Caught the cheating

[@tahurrrrr1801]

I had already used N in a previous guess but mistyped GLEAN instead of GLEAM resulting in a 5 instead of a 4 🤬

[@EdithKFrost]

Gleam is such a random word. Are they finally running out of 5 letter words?

[@TinkerTailor4303]

There's always Glean!

[@castelodeossos5042]

Very sorry, how is GLEAM any more random than any of the previous solutions?

[@poppymcdermott837]

Assuming you're not being sarcastic, Tracy Bennett, the NYT Wordle Editor, says they have enough words until 2027.

[@TinkerTailor4303]

@@poppymcdermott837 Then what?

[@user-zn1fx8yu4t]

Maybe they will up the ante and go for 6 letter words?!​@@TinkerTailor4303

[@medal45]

MOUSE - MEATY - CAMEL - GLEAM. Messed up a bit by accidentally trying the M twice in the first spot.

[@ZorlockDarksoul]

CHAOS -> FAULT -> LEAKY -> ALGAE -> GLEAN -> GLEAM Not my finest work. Repeating the A in spot three with LEAKY was rather sloppy of me. But then Mark repeats M in a similar fashion here, so at least I'm in good company.

[@simonwood3638]

Always enjoy these but I preferred it without the music today

[@TinkerTailor4303]

To me it feels naked!

[@SweDennis]

Don't know if this has been brought up before, but the thumbnails for these shorts really bothers me. More often than not they reveal most of the clip, if not all. If a thumbnail shows all of the final letters, if not all, why should I watch the clip? Whenever I see a new short, I almost try to cover my eyes in order to get it started without my having seen it ...

[@Paraninja]

It has come up before. You cannot select a thumbnail for a short is the answer so he has no control over it.

[@TinkerTailor4303]

But if you didn't watch it you would miss Mark's commentary, which is at least half of it.😊

[@SweDennis]

@@Paraninja Ok, perfectly answered and case closed, many thanks.

[@Paraninja]

@@SweDennis No worries. I had the same question myself once, which is why I know the answer.

[@blcmd]

MINDS-SMELT-GLEAM. I accidentally reused the S, but it worked out well. Next up, we’ll try OTHER as the starting word.
