Looks like it officially moved to NYT today:
https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html

Clicking on the old link auto redirects you. And my stats carried over so that's cool.

And to kick it off, I got it in 6

PARTY
BRIDE
LOVER
RULER -- at this point I knew it was _L_ER with U either first or third and I couldn't think of any words beginning with U until it was obvious and almost too late
GLUER
ULCER

It’s kinda fun when your guesses form a sort of a story, isn’t it?

Bombed this one. I suck at these.

So, found a trick which I tried 5 times and it worked every time.

Use up your first 4 turns with those words and every time I got 4 or all 5 letters. In one case I did not need the 4th turn. However, though this looks fool proof I do like th eidea of trying my best to get it in fewer turns. But I guess if you are really stuck, these words will help.

5 today. I'm getting worse at this

4 again. That’s my most common number.
1: 1
2: 3
3: 8
4: 14
5: 3
6: 4

I tried what i suggested, used the four words while of course trying to guess along the way. It took all 6 tries though as i thought I had it in 2 guesses.

By this time all 5 letters are there, so
Ultra.

Wordle 238 4/6

I thought I had it in 3 today.

SPACE - Not the greatest start, but at least I got one yellow letter
TALON - Using the A in a different spot, as well as 4 new letters I thought this was a solid guess if I do say so myself. So what words have TAL in them? My mind when to ALTER and LATER but I knew E was out, so maybe it ended in TAL so I came up with what I thought was another solid guess
VITAL - BOOM! Gotta be it. V and I solid sleeper letters. Nope. T in right spot, but A and L still not in the right spot. But valuable information: A not in spot 3, 2, or 4 so the word either started with A or ended with A or maybe both. L was either 2nd or 4th. I couldn't come up with a word that ended in TLA or started with ALT with the letters I had already used. Maybe it started with a vowel, but I only had a U left. Wait, could it be...
ULTRA - and done

Got it in 3.

I blame lack of coffee - didn't even notice I'd repeated 'C' in CONCH.

I like this game but I am not very good at it. Even with the magic 4 words I had to sit there awhile thinking about it.
