@freemo Oh man, I'm too full with stamppot andijvie to enjoy the sight of this food, because otherwise this looks delicious. ;)

@freemo And you had to choose the last of the 3 words to get it? :P

@freemo Heh, while the start with my 2 words I mentioned yesterday gave me the first letter pretty quick. ;)

The 3rd word was my determining if it was still CVCVC... I shouldn't have bothered. ;)

For tomorrow, code orange is announced at the coasts due to storm Corrie. The rest of the country will be code yellow.

My province is half code green. My prediction of my city tomorrow: lolwhut? What storm are you even talking about?

@izaya Huh, never thought about that, but that does sound like a neat idea. I know an author or two that I wouldn't mind donating/feedbacking something to if there was an easy way to do that and mentioned right there in the book. Making them more accessible, basically.

@freemo No, I didn't use adieu at all. ;) I did the different approach since adieu didn't really work out for me in previous words.

@freemo I went with 'marks' as that's all common enough consonants and vowel. Then 'towel' based on what I got from the first word, all letters are different. The W and R gave me a huge clue which led me to solve this.

@freemo Ok, say, today's word. Adieu. If I only know the 'u' and it's in the wrong spot, it honestly isn't telling me that much yet.
What's your 2nd word for this to tackle?

@freemo Just to hook up to 'two letters with one sound'... rk is one sound? 'r' 'k'... huh? The 'ck' I can see it, that's just pronounced as 'k' basically.. but r and k?

@freemo Verbs and plurals are words too, though.

Marks, harks, barks, larks, rocks, socks, mocks, ticks tocks.

@freemo Except in the English language, I find it's more likely that words have 1 to 2 vowels in those 5-letter words. Not 2 to 3.

@freemo I know the shape doesn't matter.. just my today's shape is the answer to you in our disagreement, lol. Only today's shape, mind you. Check my last post about wordle.. :P

And yes, actually, your description is actually coincidentally what my today's shape shows as well, rofl. Except those weren't repeat letters on the first 2, just 2 wildly different words with useful consonants that led me to the right word.

@freemo Well, _of course_ one's tactic is almost never to lose! Psaw!

@freemo Meh, you do you. And if you disagree more, look at the shape of my today's wordle as answer. ;)

@freemo If you only have 'one letter in wrong spot' from the first word, you might as well make a second word that contains none of those letters to have a bigger hit chance on the remaining letters to find. The chance of you hitting it rich at the second word this way you might as well go buy a lot from the lottery. :P

@freemo But if you start with adieu, you basically kinda just repeat letters in the 2nd word unless you choose a word with only 'o' (and y) in it as vowels. And then you haven't hit the useful consonants yet.

@freemo See, and that's where I do a mix. First word has 4 consonants and a common vowel. If any, the second word will have 2 vowels and then the next common consonants. So I found today's word in 4 turns. The 3rd was right word but wrong vowel, so the 4th had the leftover vowel heh. Could've been the other way around there too.

@freemo I've given up on your 'adieu' start, it wasn't informative enough for me. Consonants are pretty important too, turns out. ;)
