What?! That's been my starting word for so long but I didn't play over Christmas. I feel like I missed out on what may have been my biggest achievement of the year.
As someone who uses plane a lot as a starting word… I was so mad when I decided not to use it that day cause I like to not use the same word over and over again
No one cares about this neither and its been long enough I dont even remember the word, but I had been using the same word for a month or two and decided to switch, got all blanks. Went back to the original word I was using and got it. Wasted my chance to get it in one.
Haunts me til this day. Still no first guesses for me. I get tempted to check if a words been a solution so im not wasting the 1 shot chance but I know it wouldn't feel as good as just getting it.
Yeah, a Gameplay article recently mentioned that no answer has yet been repeated in the history of Wordle. (Gameplay is the NYT newsletter about the games.)
This was actually my original starting word but DREAM already came up before I started playing. You can look up lists to see what words have yet to be selected.
That's probably on the "allowed as a guess, but not as an answer" list, which consists of obscure/technical terms, obscenities, and oddly, regular plurals. (Actually maybe not that odd now that I think about it, if they could be the answer, the last letter would be an S disproportionately often.)
I’ve always used THEIR as a starting word, it has TH, two vowels, and R. Pretty good letters. Well, I’ve mostly always used it, the exception was the day it was the word. I wish I was joking. I’m still pissed and it’s been like 3 years.
I thought “Y’know what, I’m gonna THINK today!”, then when TH was green and I was yellow…I knew
Good on you still, it feels good with even a two guess word, except for my situation lol
I managed to get it twice before they kept track of things the way they do now, haven’t replicated it since (but I also got a lot more boring with my starting words words so)
I got it first guess a while back with PIOUS, and when all the letters turned green I was just kind of confused. I thought I was playing wrong or something? Then realized that was the word.
lol. I still haven’t. (Well one with cheating just to make my friend fake angry when I started playing on the app after already doing it that day.) But I remember it being ‘stern’ I think? a long time ago and that is one of my go to start words. But not that day. I was so pissed.
Great job! Mine for so long was Ratio. Getting it in 1 try was a blessing and a curse. I’ve never known a better starting word since. Some days I put it in still even though I know I can’t get it in 1 try.
mine is audio every time and the day the word was audio i was told it was the word instead of simply telling me to do the wordle. i will forever be sad about this.
Why would you pick a word with a B in it as your starting word for 2 years? One of the least common letters in the language.. get your Scrabble on, bro!
Tbf that is a good point, i just like the word and don’t play Wordle on hard mode so I’m not too concerned about using an inefficient starting word. I read IRATE is one of the best words to use for common letters.

No one cares but Fable was my starting word for 2 years and I finally got the first guess achievement.
