Someone in my board game group was recently on Countdown . His episode is yet to be broadcast but he really doesn't like us referring to maths or spelling whenever we can.

Which is now all the time.


Ohhh, how did he do? A friend's brother went on a TV quiz and he's very bright and generally good at quiz things but got quite nervous and overwhelmed and did really badly :facepalm:

He's keeping very quiet about it. We can't wait for the broadcast.

A much easier set today - I do wonder if there are better ways to do some of these (using less steps?) however I got the exact same steps as you

Same, so I’d guess that this was the simplest way.

I’ve played that one on occasion, but the habit doesn’t stick for me.

For the original Wordle game, Russell, my brother and I have a WhatsApp group where we each take turns to pick a starter word the night before and each day we all use that to start the solve. Never was there so much excitement as the day we got it in one.
Mine is usually Wordle, Heardle, Framed but with Heardle being retired, it'll now be Wordle, Framed and Digits I guess.

Sometimes do Worldle with Olly too - he solves it first guess most days and I wonder how I managed to produce an offspring so smart.
Have you tried the knock-off Heardle Decades?

I feel like my solution for the 4th one was needlessly convoluted, but I couldn’t spot another way.
