Wordle in a Minute April 1st 2022

Is the 1st of April going to spring a surprise? Mark is in Hard Mode trying to figure it out #Shorts

[@PegasusGoshey]

That was really impressive. I would have just stared at the screen for ten minutes after guess 3 hahaha

[@Stratelier]

My first two guesses ended up rather badly today, with S_OUT and needing all six guesses to solve it.

[@AexisRai]

the Bad Case of hardmode

[@Stratelier]

@@AexisRai ...I actually wasn't playing hard mode, I just failed to anticipate how many possibilities there were (and by guess 5 I was starting to panic).

[@matthewringue9757]

‘Punch’ would be a good next guess, which would ensure you get it on the following guess. Rules out p n c and h, only thing it still could be is stout, but either way you would know

[@Coyotek4]

I always begin with STERN ... and my 2nd guess was SNOUT. Best I've ever had; pity no one would believe me today.

[@Circenn]

Wordle allows you to share a link showing your results as colored boxed, but one idea would be; upload your results to Twitter, then link your Twitter from here. Then it won't matter if people believe you or not since they can just click the link and see the results.

[@Coyotek4]

@@Circenn Thx for the advice; admittedly, I'm being a bit facetious; it doesn't really matter to me whether anyone actually wants to see evidence or not. :)

[@Circenn]

@@Coyotek4 Fair enough. Cheers!

[@Censeo]

It would be such a mundane thing to lie to total strangers about, so I just believe, for what it's worth

[@erikbergstrom4638]

Got lucky today and got it in two! Started with “notes” and got four yellows!

[@gauravmitra150]

I started with "about" and therefore had three greens.

[@lidicehm661]

I went shout, spout and finally snout...this was impressive !!

[@HowardTheDucksWong]

These vids are always suspenseful!

[@sounakchakrabortyc21]

Did you solve yesterday's Squardle? That was fun

[@emilywilliams3237]

Always fun to watch these. Thank you! (I will mention that my Wordle word for April 1 was not the one that was yours. Hmmm.)

[@LednacekZ]

what is wrong with april?

[@facundoolmos8349]

same question!

[@hummakavula3750]

She's the developer's ex

[@AlphaAlfaX]

April fools!

[@CaptainHandsome]

Wordle uses a specifically curated list of words that it allows as guesses, and it seems April just wasn't something the creators decided to include

[@Craznar]

What's wrong with Brian, or Kathy, or Miami ... they are all names - and once you include names you end up with billions of words.

[@Jupiterninja95]

I went with xylem first because i thought it'd be something annoying for april fool's and I lost my second ever wordle falling into the S_OUT trap

[@joshl90]

I began with Crane, then Louis and guessed Snout in 3

[@raffine_9705]

I end up with s_out and tried shout, scout, spout instead

[@roguestar7021]

You are amazing

[@nlatimer]

Today's was the worst for me, started with DREAM, no letters, went to SCOUT, SPOUT, SHOUT, STOUT and finally on my last hit SNOUT

[@StewartForsyth]

Similar thinking to me with the first word. I went for FOULS, in the hope it might have been FOOLS as I didn't have the bottle to guess a double letter word to start.

[@95triforce]

Wow. I’m continuously impressed with Mark’s word knowledge. Also April not allowed?? Bologna!

[@SoniCraft98]

This is the first wordle I failed :(. I was left with S_OUT and had too many possibilities

[@erwinmulder1338]

I had the same, but got it right in try 6 .. but yes S_OUT has so many possible words.

[@mjh277]

Same.

[@j4v4x]

For some reason I started with "vomit"... 3x "s_out" later, I got it. W00t!

[@kelperdude]

I like the word PIOUS.

[@mickeyjupp1]

Mark gives himself a hard time over this. Imagine if it was something important?!

[@TuneRMX323]

I tried to guess April for my first word, but it didn’t work, so I ended up starting with Fools.

[@FrancoisTremblay]

TIL April is not a word.

[@CyborgX7]

Proper nouns are not in wordle.

[@Coyotek4]

Try today's 'dordle', if you dare!

[@burrytellam]

Easy!

[@Wecoc1]

Curious, I thought he wouldn't be allowed to repeat the R.

[@faladu9991]

Hard mode only forces you to reuse yellow/green letters.

[@Wecoc1]

@@faladu9991 I see, thanks :)

[@michaelpdawson]

If only I had used my usual start word SNORT I would have easily gotten a 2. As it is I got a 3, using SNORT as my second guess!

[@stevesebzda570]

GOOD JOB, Mark.

[@Max1996YT]

Gee, I wonder why I decided to start with Joker? :P But I got it on my 5th guess, not bad.

[@mwoody_]

Well done MaGoo, a clutch finish. Wordle is working well for shorts keep it up

[@caitlinerickson7355]

3 for me; got lucky with my second guess - HEARD - SPOUT - SNOUT

[@highpath4776]

I got SNOU and was sure that snout was not spelled like that in my mind

[@Boyce18]

This was my first 2 in 85 tries! Venus -> Snout!! I was so proud :D

[@john-paulwallcraft9362]

Why was april disallowed?

[@nlatimer]

Not in the word list, I'd imagine since it's a proper name

[@shilohplus4898]

I got it in two. For the second time

[@BigAsciiHappyStar]

I needed six guesses on April 1st. My penultimate guess was 4 greens + 1 yellow. I posted on Facebook and nobody called fake #winningatlife :D

[@theonesparrowhawk]

Frond was my first guess, then I got Snout as my second

[@rabidsamfan]

I got to s blank out and lucky the next guess but I still had p and h on the board.

[@Stratelier]

I also got to S_OUT rather quickly, and completely blanked on the possibilities.

[@pinkreboot]

wow

[@KashMoneyKale]

i had LOWLY today, not snout lol

[@alisont.6940]

That was the day before - maybe your time zone?

[@KashMoneyKale]

@@alisont.6940 no yesterdays was stove for me. The one's he's been getting have always been in line for me, except today's for whatever reason

[@austinpatrick2682]

I thought you always waited for the next day not to spoil it

[@DannieRay23]

Is it by any chance midnight in the UK at this very moment?

[@KameikoPhoenix]

It is already tomorrow in the UK.

[@CaptainHandsome]

@@KameikoPhoenix The shorts usually go up around 10-11am UK time. Unless this is a very bizarre attempt at a late April Fool's, it's a bit weird.

[@joshl90]

Don’t watch it until you’ve done it??

[@KameikoPhoenix]

@@CaptainHandsome Even so it's not on a short. It's on a regular youtube video. Hopefully people wait to watch before they click it. Good to know, thanks!

[@scottjacoby2594]

Posted too early for the American audience. Please hold off until after midnight pst
