I must be a dumb son-of-a-bitch because I've read the rules 100 times and I still can't figure out how to play the damn thing!~ :-) [Reply]

Maybe think of it as taking someone's Wordle squares and figuring out which words could have been used to find the correct answer.
So if this Wordle was 'sugar', you know I got the 2nd letter all the way down, a letter in the wrong spot, and 3 letters correct on the 2nd to last try.
The big thing is you don't have to play top to bottom and can even fill in the known letters first... so what word could I have used in the 2nd to last row that is _ U _ A R? Maybe it was fubar, then the previous word would be one with U in the right spot and another letter that's off (without repeating wrong letters). That could have been g U S t y, then the first guess only has a U in the right spot without using the other letters in sugar, fubar, or gusty.

I'm going to need to try again as this is a little better but something is just going straight over my head! Not sure I really get it YET.
