      A 3 today, making that my most frequent score.

        A fellow 4.

          Continuing my run of 4

            I wonder whether a good benchmark of scoring is to treat a run of 18 games as if playing a par 72 round of golf.

            I didn't think of this until I'd gone beyond 18 games, so I'll look out for my 36-game score. If I don't solve a Wordle in six turns, I'll score it as seven if I have four correctly-placed letters by my final turn, eight for three correctly-placed and so on.

              I like it. My first round would have been a 68 then. Today's 2 will be the first score of my second round.

                I'm +3 after 15.

                  I'm a very satisfying -2 after 8 (4x3, 3x4, 1x6). Probably some beginners luck. I've been doing it across three devices so it's a pain to aggregate.

                    I prefer to see it as an endurance Squid Game, where everyone who fails to guess the word in six tries gets shot. The rest gets another word, until only one contestant remains.

                      Six today. Poor.

                        A total mare today at Amen Corner on my second round. Five shots dropped to par, as I had only two letters in place when my turns were up. Be warned.

                        That'll teach me to feel smug about having hitherto avoided the Squid Game bullet.

                          In 6 today.

                            After 7 x 4s and 4 x 5s I finally cracked par with a 3 today.

                            Comment


                              My first 6 today, felt like an absurdle game.

                                6 for me as well - I'd basically exhausted any other letters after getting two in the correct position on round 2.

                                  Bah.

                                  Wipeout

                                    4 today, tricky word but was helped by a complete wipeout on the first 2 guesses.

                                      A double bogey 6. I four-putted, basically.

                                        One 3, a couple of 4's and 5's. So far only one failure since I started playing.

                                        Finding Absurdle a bit tedious - too many double letters and some solutions are very obscure words.

                                          Five this morning.

                                          Still not wiped out, however.

                                            Got it in four today. Just the one failure out of 16 tries so far.

                                              Mine's recorded as a four but is actually a five, which is annoying as I will have to remember to correct my stats each time I see them. I had two guesses on one device and then later picked up a different one. I couldn't remember my first guess, so started from the second one and added one to the score.

                                              Actually I suppose if you don't get it in six you could use another browser, or a private/incognito tab, or a VPN, to carry on from where you got to after six if you wanted to carry on your golfing score.

                                              1 = 0
                                              2 = 0
                                              3 = 3
                                              4 = 4
                                              5 = 5
                                              6 = 2
                                              X = 1

                                                Got it in five today.

                                                    An astoundingly rare 3 today.

                                                    Still not enough rounds on one device to play golf though.
