No, this is not a thread for you to post anything BUT Wordle. There is an actual game called "Don't Wordle." If you know the rules of actual Wordle, it's similar, but you're trying for the reverse. You are trying to NOT guess the word within six tries.

To copy the rules directly from the site:

Don't Wordle is just like Wordle but the opposite.​
​
In Wordle, the goal is to guess a particular 5 letter word in 6 or fewer tries. In Don't Wordle, the goal is to NOT guess the word.​
​
The catch is that your word attempts must respect the information you have learned in previous guesses.​
  1. 🟩 - Once you place a letter correctly, then future guesses must contain that same letter in the same position
  2. 🟨 - Once you place a correct letter in an incorrect location, then future guesses must contain that letter in a different location
  3. ⬜ - Once letters have been guessed and eliminated, then you can no longer use them
The number of valid words remaining appears at the top, and it will shrink with each guess. If the number gets too low, you can use one of your "UNDOs" to reverse course.​
​
Be careful! If you accidentally enter the Wordle word, the game is over even if you have some UNDOs remaining.​
​
So to start off, here is my Don't Wordle for the day.

Neat! I do love me some Wordle and sometimes it feels like I guess everything except the Wordle some days. Didn't even know this existed. Sadly, I accidentally Wordled:

Pretty fun but significantly more difficult than normal Wordle, feels a little like it's impossible to guess reasonably without a Merriam-Webster page open searching for words by certain letter positions. Though it is interesting the Undos are included in the copied results, almost like an extra layer of scoring on top of the actual puzzle.

Hmm, still trying to wrap my head around the best way to do these. Also totally fucked myself on that third guess but I didn't want to undo it.
 
Yeah, this is actually a super hard game. Basically I try to figure out what the worst words for wordle are.... and use those. This list helps.

Shiiit. Out of 13 words left, what were the chances? They were 1/13. Thanks, Stats class! :biggrin: I think I'm getting the hang of it though. Definitely recommend using something like this to help out when you're down to only a few possible words left.

Figured the last 4 included DENSE and SENSE, and assumed most people would guess the former.

The big one was the second to last guess, which was BENNE. Talk about digging deep.

Finally got one! I gave up avoiding the undos since I keep trying to get the word out of habit anyway. One thing that really helped was remembering that even if you did get a letter in the correct spot, you can still use it as a possible guess in another position if it hasn't been tried there. For some reason I kept forgetting that.

Last guess was SKEER and that's just what it was, a guess. 🤣🤮
Apparently it is the written form of an unusual pronunciation of, "scare."
