Four. Picked the wrong first letter.

There used to be a game like this you could play with other people, sort of like Battleships, except words. It’s called My Word, and for word game junkies, it’s a fun one. You pick your own word the other person has to guess, taking turns. I’ve seen it used on EBay, etc.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Got it in 3!

Three is probably the best I’m ever going to do.

I did four today.

Someone on my Facebook friend's list got one a bit back in one! And she got yesterday's in two. How lucky is that?

Very lucky considering how many five-letter words there are!

My husband didn’t get it today. Heh, heh, heh.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I got it in 3 today. I think DD said she got it in 4.

 

[Lari]

Today was three!

Does it count as playing if I am using a dictionary and excel spreadsheet to help?

Word games are really not my thing in general. I can never think of words from the letters provided. With clues is a little better but random letter scrambles or Wheel of Fortune type stuff is a no go for me. Give me a card game or strategy game and I am good but word games are not it. But with just one puzzle a day I've tried it. I've gotten it in 2-4 guesses the last week but it is doing a word or two then opening up a dictionary of 5 letter words and going through the list to figure out from what I've gotten so far. Today's I got to number 3 and was drawing a blank so I did an excel spreadsheet with the words, eliminating based on the letters I knew until I got down to 4 possible then picking from that.

.... but not sure if that really is in the spirit of "playing"

I told DD to try to work it out on paper. We’ve been starting with the same 2 words and then working it out from there. It does help to look at the keyboard on screen and kind of work through there.

I played Boggle with my grandma a lot when I was a kid. I tried with DD a few years ago but it didn’t catch with her. It might now though.

I got it on the last try today. DD didn't get it but I think she was close.

For practice, or if you just want to play all day , look at this. . .

You’re exercising your brain and working it out. Seems like playing to me! The keyboard at the bottom helps, but I do use paper and pencil to write down various options. I can’t do it in my head. Excel would work; paper is faster for me!

Took me four today.

 

[Lari]

There's also apparently Byrdle, which is related to choral music. That one took me six tries.

We used to play something like that as a board game when I was a kid. Forget what it was called, but it was fun.

Of course I had to find it and start playing it. So far there is a bit of a pattern to the ones I have solved.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

DD and I both got it in 5 today. I keep playing it before bed since I'm always up late.

 

[rubysmama]

Got it in 3 tries today for the first time.

 

[Lari]

It took me all six tries today. I thought it was going to be my first failure.
