Well, hello everyone! It’s Tuesday, November 5, 2024. I’m Doug, and we’re back with another Wordle adventure. Today’s puzzle kept me on my toes, and I can’t wait to walk you through my guessing process. A warm shout-out to David and Helen (4657); it’s always great to have you with us! Let’s cut to the chase—literally, as my first word for today was "Chase"!
Today Wordle Hints
- Number of Vowels: The word contains two vowels.
- First Letter: The word begins with the letter ‘O.’
- Repeated Letters: There are repeated letters in today’s word.
Example Hint:
- It’s the term used for a group of eight. Think about a number that comes right after seven and would typically appear in a pack, like in sports, science, or the arts.
If you want the answer then you can read the article the answer is at the end of the article.
The First Guess: Chase
Starting with Chase gave me a promising start. It revealed two letters—C and E—but both were out of position. This was a decent foundation, though it left me with plenty of possible arrangements to test. My first thought was to see if I could move those letters around to make a word that would help narrow down their positions.
Second Guess: Recon
For my next guess, I chose Recon. This added R, O, and N to the mix, which I felt could be useful letters to try. While Recon wasn’t the answer, it did reveal that the letter O was in the puzzle, though still out of position along with C, E, and now O. A tough board indeed!
Narrowing It Down
After my first two guesses, I was facing a bit of a dilemma. None of the letters had found their places yet, and I was struggling to figure out where the tricky E might fit. I kept thinking about different positions for the C and E, but nothing was quite working. I was tempted to test words that would help me rule out unlikely positions.
The Hail Mary: Full Evaluation Attempt
At this point, I was stumped. I decided it was time to take a chance and go for a full evaluation word, even though it’s not my preferred method. I chose Guilt, which helped me rule out U and I as potential players. It didn’t seem like the best strategy initially, but it revealed that T and E were in position at the end of the word, giving me a breakthrough!
The Aha Moment: Octet
With T and E secured in their positions, the pieces finally started to fall into place. I realized that the letters C and O likely belonged at the start of the word, leading me to Octet. This was it! After two full evaluations, Octet turned out to be the answer.
This puzzle was a classic Wordle brain-teaser. For the second day in a row, using a complete evaluation word saved the day. It’s a strategy I don’t usually rely on, but sometimes it’s exactly what you need to find the solution. Octet isn’t the most common word, so I imagine some of you had similar struggles today.
