There is also Taylordle for all you Taylor Swift fans. Quardle if you want to try to solve 4 words at once or Octordle for 8 words. My daughter does those three.
I tried it too. Took me seven guesses. It's a lot different when it doesn't start with the word already chosen. Did it again and got it in six. Going to try to do better. I don't think it picks a word till after your 2nd guess...at least after the first so you can't get it in 1.
If you read the rules, it can/will change the word at any point based on your guesses. Its whole goal is to evade your efforts without breaking the rules.
Oh at any point dang. I try to use the most letters I can to give it fewer options. I start with a word, the use a a word on my second try of completely different letters. Then a word with the letters remaining for the third.
Impressive. I've gotten in 6 4 of 5 times... haven't had a 5 yet. My first absurdle word had 2 duplicate letters ("level")... my first taste of how evil they can be.
I used to love playing chess against tbe computers, then got into Words with Friends for a season. I love the challenge of Absurdle. Thanks for sharing it!
