Step-by-Step Replay of Wordle 11 Puzzle
Guess #1
Guessing with HEATH from Wordle 10.
Guess #2
One A revealed and locked. SOLID is next try.
Guess #3
I will try DRANK; could be the winner.
Guess #4
A D_AR_ or D_A_R word? Hey, it’s DWARF!
Alrighty 🙂
Step-by-Step Replay of Wordle 12 Puzzle
Guess #1
We begin with DWARF this round.
Guess #2
So D is in there. LIEUS should show us more…
Guess #3
Could be a word ending in LED, DLE, DEL or another combi. MODEL is tempting here!
How about that? Landed a nice “Wordle done in 3 moves” right there 🙂
Step-by-Step Replay of Wordle 13 Puzzle
Guess #1
Two vowels in MODEL, let’s see what gives…
Guess #2
Nope, must test for A, I, U next. SUPRA looks balanced 🙂
Guess #3
Got the A at the end. I is needed unless A repeats. See PRIMA but P is not in; ditto for DRAMA. Could the word end in MIA or RIA? Stop! Check for T and other commons… with TYING.
Guess #4
Totally nothing there, so the A is repeated. Now I see KARMA!
What a brain wreck this has been lol.
Was that third move a waste, given that the word ends with A; doesn’t start with M; and both M and R are floating? Something to think about for sure, but later.

Guess #1
What will KARMA bring?
Guess #2
Got a K, not fixed. Hope OILED brings more.
Guess #3
Not much help, only I showing up. __ICK, __INK, __ISK all look possible. Let’s see with HUNTS…
Guess #4
We now know all 5 letters are at wrong places. A bit of rearranging gives STINK as the answer.
Nicely done!
Step-by-Step Replay of Wordle 15 Puzzle
Guess #1
How will STINK do?
Guess #2
Did nothing! I will check more vowels with ADORE.
Guess #3
Good showing with 4 letters now revealed! I’m thinking either GRADE or DRAPE is it, so will try my luck for once… but will I make the GRADE? Lol.
Yes, I made the grade with just 3 guesses 🙂
And so, that was how I played Wordle 11 to 15 games in Challenge Mode (which was mooted before starting Wordle 2).
Not too shabby with a couple of 3-move plays in game #12 and #15; the rest came in taking 4 tries, which is the norm.
I will do the next set of 5 games soon. Do look out for my write-up about how that went.
