Entries for next tournament accepted by e-mail (pgoyetche@yahoo.ca )
Click here to play the New York Times Wordle and then send me your results using the share button.
An Asterisk beside your name indicates that you are playing in Hard Mode. Which means: Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses.
A grey rectangle on your score means I didn't get your email and therefore gave you the worst score plus one (max 7).
If I get your email late, I will adjust the score accordingly.
Some people's emails are not getting through sometimes, so I will correct for that too.
A blue rectangle means you didn't use the correct starting word and are assessed a 1 or 2 stroke penalty (depends on score of the day)
Like real golf, this competition is based on the honour system.
Using any kind of 'enhancements' like online word searches is not permitted.
Looking up previous Wordle solution words from historical websites also frowned upon
although you are allowed to look back at past tournaments for solved words.
It's actually easier to cheat at Wordle than Golf, so don't!
** The difficulty of each puzzle is determined by averaging the number of guesses provided by a small panel of testers who are paid to solve each puzzle in advance to help New York Times catch any issues and inconsistencies. They add a score of 7 when testers do not complete the puzzle.
Difficulty only appears the next day with the NYT solution.
