OK. Where, or what is my clipboard. I don't think that I've ever needed it before. You are speaking to one who was self taught on a MicroBee.

Mind you, I was using an electronic calculator years before most of you lot. It was mains powered and cost hundreds of dollars but was way ahead of the abacus and logarithms.

I'm not seeing identifying numbers on mine. Where do you find them? OH - it showed up when I pasted but was not on the puzzle page.
Tonight's was a squeaker - took all 6 lines with only one green square.

Wow I find these so hard to do in English. In Dutch, the game is more or lees fine but in English my mind Just blanks and I can't think of any follow-up words after the first one.

THat 'american spelling' clue didn't help, because I just kept remembering every -our word I'd ever learned but couldn't use, rather than focussing on the letters I DID have.
I'm in complete awe of anyone doing this outside their mother tongue--I just don't have the vocabulary recall to do it.

There was a short article about wordle in the newspaper yesterday. It was developed originally for private use, but since it's now so popular I wonder if anything Will happen with copyright etc.

I don't see how they can copyright it when there are a bunch of games that use the same concept that came before, We played one using colours rather than letters when I was a child, there's been TV games already etc. And he might have trouble trademarking the title "wordle" because there were tools called that that generated word clouds.

The article suggested wordle may be infringing on the copyright of the original Lingo game. I'm not sure to what extent that is a realistic risk, especially since no one is making money off it at the moment.

I caught a glimpse of a knock-off called BYRDLE, which promises to use words relating to choral music. Won't last long, I fear.

I just found a 'wordle' tool on a concordancer I use, but it pre-dates the game. I will investigate.
It's a way to view the results of a word search, but it isn't working.

In the last 1960s, my college friends and I played a similar game called Jotto. Two people played each other, with the first person getting the other's secret word the winner. By our rules, you only learned how many of the letters in the word you proposed were in the secret word, not which ones and whether any wee in the right locations. No repeated letters allowed in the secret word, so you could wind up guessing STALE and being told that all five letters were in the secret word but that that was not it, and then guessing STEAL before hitting on SLATE.
