I must have guessed luckily today.
Almost completely impossible. You had no strikes, and would have one for any letter in luckily besides C
I got a few strikes after the first couple of letters today before the words started to take form. However, that last word gave me issues. I had all but the first letter, but none of the letters left seemed to fit. I eventually put the right letter in just because I couldnât see any of the others left possibly being a word. When that letter was correct, I thought I was going to learn a new word, but then my brain finally kicked in and I realized I was just pronouncing it wrong. 
Ive never previously used two of those words in sentences before.
In sentences? I donât think I had ever heard of two of them, though I had heard of the singular Opus
Well, that, too. Theyâve also never been in my kitchen.
Unusual game today. Normally get a strike while guessing common letters rather than specific words. Here today I had 5 of a word already, then took a strike trying to complete it (still with a good bit missing on other 2 words, and it wasnât a letter in common with them). Then eliminated 3 letters, and finished without a second strike.
I had no strikes until 5 letters left. 3 in first word and then 2 in second word. Th problem was I could think of about 10 words that the first word could be and none for the second word. Ended up guessing 3 wrong letters in a row and then solving it.
:swear: only 305 on the latest game. Because I hit the wrong key by mistake. The letter I intend was a sure thing. The key I hit was a strike. Then with two words remaining, two letters missing in each, I knew a possible word for each, and didnât spend much time on alternatives or strategy. Maybe it wouldnât have mattered. Unfortunately my guess at the first word was wrong. My guess at the second would have been right, and in the process it would have told me the first was wrong and probably what it should be.
Same score today. Did well at the start, but not enough to know any of the words. Got 4 strikes almost in a row and then got a key letter that made all the rest easy. Strikes came so quick together that I didnât even get to use the remove 3 letters.
No strikes today until just one letter left to go. In Wordle or similar, would not expect they would use a word like FARTED, but here it seemed like a reasonable guess. Not familiar with WARTED.
RANT from many days ago. JESUIT? capitalized words are allowed? Or the WOTR dictionary thinks itâs not capitalized?
Found a gap in the gameâs logic. Normally it wonât let you play the same puzzle twice (on a single device), but yesterday wasnât normal for me.
As is not rare (conditionally not rare), if up past midnight (that is sort of rare), I may play WotR, almost surely getting the top spot on the daily leader board. I did Saturday. I was traveling, had a night flight, changing time zones. In air, passed midnight (per original time zone). Landed, before midnight (new time zone). Went to WotR (not even realizing it was now before midnight). It let me play Saturdayâs game again. I wasnât expecting that, so I started with some of the same mistakes. But I realized it and got a 335. Checked the leaderboard, wondering if both scores for Steve would be there. No, only the new one. Thatâs âonlyâ as in âonly one score totalâ. Conceivable, since very few people are playing these days.
Then less than 5 minutes later, I passed midnight in the new time zone, so I played Sundayâs game and became #1 on the new daily leaderboard.
Time zones are a problem with all games that have some sort of daily challenge, puzzle, or metric. There are several games that I play that I set the clock forward or backward to get more lives or otherwise game the app. I would probably have put more thought into it if more people were playing. While I am a fan of the game and you play daily, as you mentioned, it has not really caught on.
I finally was able to log back into this site. I am not sure if I forgot my password or what, but the sign me in link, the forgot my user id and forgot my password all said they sent me an e-mail that never show up. The contact us link on the site just takes me back to the main page. I finally just got back to it after a few months and tried the sign in with google and that worked. Go figure.
I looked at the user stats on the back end as I thought it was a problem with the game. However, the user has definitely played enough games to get that total. Got even more points yesterday if you look at the all time total.
And in just 4 minutes today TrinityChani has 2,570 points? (at 12.04AM he has 2,570 for today. Doesnât that mean he has those in 4 minutes, even if his time zone is different from mine?
Havenât really thought about it that much. The day in the game is controlled by the date and not a single 24 hour period. I would think if they were an hour ahead, they would already have had an hour and 4 minutes to play for the day. My wife thinks that player is a bot, but I know from some of my other games that there are people who will sit there and play a game they like most of the day. If it is a bot, it is impressive work by whoever created it. If it is a person, I am glad they like the game.
I am just upset that I am the only one that didnât get 725 today. I didnât find it that easy.

I have no idea how hard it would be to create a bot. But the possibility that he started an hour (or more?) before me raises questions about what the Daily leaderboard and reaching #1 on it means. Suppose, my day starts at midnight eastern US time (as it does, presumably, when I am here in the eastern US. At least Iâm sure thatâs the first time I can start on Todayâs puzzle). Also, my daily leaderboard score is 0 shortly after that. Suppose further than his day starts at 11 PM eastern US time. So he has an extra hourâs scores on me, for almost all of Today.
What would happen to my leaderboard at 11PM. Presumably mine is not 0, having all my scores from midnight-11PM. But does his reset to 0 then, on my daily leader board? And if so, would I then potentially get the badge credit for reaching #1 on the Daily leader board?
BTW, he continued to rack up points at a high rate. About 10,000 for the âdayâ by 12:35 AM. And over 103,000 by around 8:30 AM. Thatâs more than 1/3 my lifetime total. Then a brief slowdown, (perhaps 30ish minutes with no points) but another 1,000ish points in the past hour.
If a bot, I donât know why the slowdown. If a person, I donât know why playing so much. Yes, itâs a good game, in moderation.
You only have to play 5-10 games to get 1000 points. Although 100k in a day is impressive. I like the game, but not that much, but to each their own. I am not entirely sure how it would work, but in my head, a person an hour ahead would get a 1hr head start on the leaderboard, but you would get 1hr at the end to catch up. Probably not the only caveat, but one that comes to mind is I only store the daily score for your current day. If the person does not play in the first hour of their next day then their score would be there for the last hour of your day. If they play in that hour, it would overwrite the day you are on to their new day and they would show up at 0 on your daily leaderboard as there would be no record to pull.
