POG Pub 2022: Tolerance; Hope; And **** Covid (nsfw; nc; lc) - Page 9

I'm 2/2 and English isn't my first language
Seems fairly easy.

Say your first word is 4 misses and a semi hit (correct letter, incorrect location). What do you use as second guess? Do you try a word with 5 completely new letters (and therefore 0 equity to guess the word and not learning about the misplaced letter) or do you try a word that has that letter in it?

It might be different if they were random strings of letters but I really think you benefit from knowing exactly where a letter is when it's an actual word.

I try a word with 5 completely new letters and identify at least the possibility of 4 out of the 5 vowels within 2 guesses.

Spoiler:

I got today's word in 3 guesses.

If you want AEIOUY:

YOURS
TINEA

Seem a lot better than those two with regard to other letters.

I use ARIEL and SNOUT. Hits all the Wheel of Fortune consonants and all the vowels (not including y). This strategy is almost too easy though. Kind of a flaw in the game.

I really prefer the style of the old game show Lingo where you are given the first letter of the word and all of your guesses must start with that letter.

Almost, but I did luck into using a 2-u word on guess #2:

If the A was correct for the 5th position then what would the colours show for guess #3?

The first A would be gray and the second A would be green.

Out of potato salad? How is that possible? I've never ever even seen the supply low.

Did you ask when the new chickens were going to be finished? I've seen it where there were 20 people all waiting for them to bring a new supply out.

Why Portugal?

If they had a Costco in Portugal I'd probably go just to say that I did.

when i was in line at costco today, some worker with a portable scanner came up to me and asked to scan my card. i had to dig out my wallet and give him my card. i thought he was scanning it to save time at the cashier so i didn't have to scan it again. but he just wanted to ask me to sign up for the ****ing credit card. he was like "have you thought about signing up for the costco credit card?" and i was like "i applied and was denied". then he felt bad for asking
