42 tries today, and still feel like it was a lucky guess because my next highest guess was 876. Checking the nearest words list now and there's almost no chance I would have guessed any of the top 100.

I will never top that so no reason to ever do one again.

Got today's in 36 guesses. Wish I understood what I'm doing or what it's trying to tell me with its feedback.

So it's kind of like synonyms, but not exactly. Synonyms would score similarly high in the rankings, but so will antonyms. It's telling you which words tend to be used in the same context as the secret word. A common example is "king" and "queen" would have a strong similarity score because they are used in similar contexts.

What was Saturday's word? I had "fortunate" which had a score of 993 but couldn't get any closer than that and quit after a while

I tried this game a couple of days ago and kept getting almost answers but never figured it out. Today I saw the thread pop back up and tried to play today’s puzzle and the first word that popped into my head was the correct word unbelievable!

ETA I have been playing wordle daily for months and this has never happened to me

Grateful. The FAQ tells you the last few words.

Glad I didn't play yesterday.

Got it in 15 today, but the scoring algorithm cost me a few guesses again. I don't see how the word at 986 is not the nearest word, in any context.

Still a fun game though!

you must have gotten different words than me. my 986 is basically the same word as the secret word

I had the same word. That's just my point. The lower score sent me down a different path temporarily. That 986 should have been 999, and I'm bitter about those extra 2 guess

Got it in 28 today. I got lucky that my first guess was at least in the ballpark.

My 29th guess was the 999/1000 word, and I've probably guessed 20 words after that, to no avail. Argh!
