Definitely reminded me of one of my favorite Friends episodes.
Solved it in two. That'll probably never happen to me again.

A friend told me about Dordle, which is double Wordle. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how this works and the strategies involved, but it seems interesting.

I think the strategy is to focus on the left side and use any clues you get on the right side as a bonus once you actually get to solving that. I struggled a lot with the first one (which shouldn't have been so hard for me) so that made the second one a lot easier as I had exhausted so many letters.
It's not bad, but I can't deviate much from the strategy of throwing out as many different letters as possible (RENTS, CLAIM, BOUGH) and then putting together the words if all 5/10 letters light up, or thinking about what's missing (D, W, Y, double letters) if they don't all light up.
I think my interest would burn out quickly.

I prefer not to publicize my daily dordles.
Thought I was finally going to get one in two...you can see how well that worked out.

I definitely overthunk it today. My wife yelped with glee when she guessed in 2. She plays the same first word each day (a habit from playing Jotto for 30+ years with her family). So knowing that I tried to figure out how to guess it in 1. Then I guessed overly complicated letters/words from there. If I didn’t want to beat my wife’s score so badly, I could have guessed her same first word, and would have surely gotten it in 2 also. Serves me right.

OMG! I have been getting these all in 2-3 tries…but here was today’s. I was soooo confident on my second guess. I think I would have gotten it sooner if I hadn’t gotten so close on the first try.

Why hard mode is actually hard. There was still at least one more valid guess available, though I probably should have made the correct guess sooner, based on word and letter frequency.
Edit: Funny. TO and I posted at nearly the same time. Good work to both of us!

That one got me too. I was sure I had it in three and ended up being lucky to make it in six.
