Wordle Competition

[Slim]

I thought we might have another Wordle competition to mark the last UK bank holiday of the year. In the past we've run two types of competition - one which runs over a fixed period (say ten days) and is points-based, and one which is a knockout contest with players being eliminated if they fail to get the solution in four goes.

Please vote only if you would normally take part in one of the competitions, or intend to take part in the next one.

Thanks!

Thanks to those who voted.

So starting tomorrow we'll commence another competition with the usual cumulative points rules:

• Contestants are asked not to visit the Wordle thread (or other Wordle discussions) until their own attempt for the day has been completed.
• If you miss a day no problem, just use https://infinite-sword.github.io/ReWordle/ or similar when you can and submit retrospectively.
• The Reg Wordle Scoring System^TM will be used: 0 points if you fail, 1 if you get it in 6, 2 if you get it in 5 - and so on.

I suggest 10 days, but welcome opinions on that.

@dom you asked to be notified; I think you should get a messageboard alert from this post.

Thanks!

Good luck everybody😀

I've assumed everyone who normally Wordles in the other thread wants to take part but let me know if not, and I'll discreetly amend the spreadsheet I've just started. Thanks!

Here's the situation after the first two rounds. Note that the numbers in the blue column are the number of goes; the formula in the rightmost column (current score) does the maths. Just makes life a bit easier. The formula is: number of rounds done x 7 - sum of goes taken.




A live view of the spreadsheet can be seen here.

I suppose I should get the spreadsheet to sort itself into a sort of league table.

Slim and myself a hole in one, Picnic not getting the word at all and by the end of tomorrow we live in a changed landscape.
