If you have a gold letter it means it’s part of the word, just not in the right place. Any letters you pick that show up grayish aren’t part of the word of the day and can’t be used again in your five other attempts. Until I settled on “heavy,” which is how I feel all the time. I could think of seven-letter words and six-letter words or 10-letter words, but my vocabulary was void of five-letter words.
Every word that came to mind was either too many letters or not enough. Suddenly I couldn’t think of any five-letter words. Just pick any five-letter word you can think of, my sister encouraged. I’m thinking did she say five tries to get a six-letter word or was that the other way around? Oh, the stress of following directions to do something new.īy then I’d already missed the next round of instructions. Me being me, driven to distraction, I already was confused by the six and the five. You get six tries to figure out what the five-letter word is before you get this message that reads “You lost!” which I guess entitles you to wear an “L” on your forehead for the rest of the day. It was invented by some guy not all that long ago, and it took off like a bat out of someplace in a hurry.
