Magic: the Wordling

Frustrated at the random card name you didn't remember?
Need a place to celebrate your 3rd guess win?
Here's the place.


Today's game for me:

[void_nothing]

Damn, lost by a letter!

[Feyd_Ruin]

Damn, lost by a letter!

Since we just launched today, I've been looking at the database, making sure everything is flowing correctly, seeing how many people are playing, etc. With that, I can also see people's guesses, which is interesting.

You're one of three people who lost being off only 1 letter on guess 7 - and you're each off by different letters

[void_nothing]

And a win in 6.

[void_nothing]

Same performance again. Frankly lucked out on guesses after having 3-ish letters, on both sides.

One of the card images for the solution looks bugged, though.

[void_nothing]

Seventh-move win!

[Lorn Asbord Schutta]

Finally beat it by the seventh guess.
The two word combination makes it different then the one-word version in terms of strategy and old habits die hard.

[Feyd_Ruin]

Ok that left one wasn't nice.
I don't actually know all these card names.
I got it, but I feel like I've doomed myself lol

[chetoos]

Regular expressions work on gatherer

[SecretInfiltrator]

That was fun. I never tried Wordle, but I see the appeal now.

Getting a correct solution on one side when trying to maximize unused letters really helped with the more obscure other word. : )

[Lorn Asbord Schutta]

The right one is a funny coincidence today.

[Feyd_Ruin]

The right one is a funny coincidence today.

Lol yes it is.
I had all but one letter known and when I finished left and got the last letter I was like No Way… 🤣

Got it in 6!

[SecretInfiltrator]

Should have gotten it in four, but didn't double-check not to use a letter in a position it was already yellow before.

Took me a while to realise that left image is correct though. How does the system gather the names?

[SecretInfiltrator]

Weird bug where the whole first line was white (not even grey) on both sides despite matching letters on the right side (as seen below). Fortunately the keyboard showed the correct feedback colors.

I considered using the right-hand solution as my starting word today. Would have felt nice. : )

I'm pretty sure at this point you're a bug magnet lol
Apologies. I'll see if I can replicate.
If it happens again, you should be able to refresh and it will reload where you're at.

I feel kinda sad left took me so long, especially when I got right so quickly heh

[void_nothing]

Phew, got it in six. Right side was devious!

[SecretInfiltrator]

Phew, got it in six. Right side was devious!

Left side almost killed me for attempting to find out where any of the letters I had belonged.

Almost missed todays

Right side was devious!

I thought for sure it was "word" but then, after I tried it, I remembered we already had that word and it won't repeat any word for 2 years

[TheAmericanSpirit]

Damn, the names of legendary creatures being included is killing my score. So many odd names to guess, %$#% Thryx, the Sudden Storm will stop me cold if he ever comes up.

[RxPhantom]

I've never played Wordle and just played the Nexus game today. It took me a sec to figure it out.

in wordle you always feel conscious that your guess is an uncommon word and probably won't be the solution. it's more comfy with m:twordling cos the weird words can be the solution, like these two words were <3
