Friend of mine introduced me to this word-guessing game.

Anybody here who’s also playing it?

Good stuff to keep the brain working.

I’ve been playing it for a few months now. I seem to be averaging around four guesses. I’ve got a couple in two.

I play once in a while. It usually takes me 3 or 4 attempts to get the word.

Such games are good for the brain, gives it a good exercise.

I think the holistic approach is to have both physical and mental exercises, to keep your body in good shape.

The exercises themselves need not be strenuous, just enough for you to have a good workout (long walk for example).

And also eating healthy.

I stopped playing Wordlenpretty quickly, but I do play Redactle… it’s essentially guessing an article from Wikipedia (taken from a subset of “important” Wikipedia articles so there’s much less pop culture and such) and redacted so most words are blacked out.

I think my best was a lucky guess in the mid 20s: I’m often over 100 guesses even with googling terms to help home in.
