The moment you realized at 0:48 was epic! I am one of the 6% today. After 1056 games played I finally have a 1 in my 1 stat 🤩 And now we all need a new starting word 😂
Someone said that 6% had grown to 7.5% by the end of the day, meaning a lot of people either played very late in the game or there were some people hearing it was Stare that heard about that and jumped on board the bandwagon before it was too late. Either way... I can't believe Share was on 12/25 and Stare on 12/30... but I guess it's not the first time similar words have been just a few days apart on the Wordle list! ;D
When I first started playing Wordle back in January 2022 along with my wife, my sister, and my mom... I too mixed it up for the first few days. And then I discovered Stone had everything I wanted in a starter. I used that for over a year till it hit in September 2023. And then took Stare until it hit yesterday. Trying to think of what word I want to hitch my wagon to for the next 12+ months and change, based on past history! ^_^
I got the Wordle in one, and then the answer for Fibble was also STARE and it took me five... I really don't know what I'm going to start with tomorrow. I am so used to stare that I kind of forget those letters even exist if I haven't tried them on the first go.
I already responded to someone else but you could do SHALE, might be good to you since it’s quite similar as well (I got SHARE in one last week and someone suggested this, might as well share - eheh - and we can all have another common starting word) 😊
@@nicasraissa I'm the Stare Starter that suggested Shale for you back on Christmas when Share was the Wordle. I am STRONGLY considering taking my own advice and going with Shale as well, but it's the lack of T+R that makes me have second thoughts. I was just SO used to both T+R being in my beloved Stare... but I really can't think of anything better! Gonna have to come up with a good 2nd word to follow up with (as needed, not every day)... by the time I do the Wordle today. Yep, I'm on here reading comments and procrastinating my choice(s)! ^_^
Good Wordle! Two for me in about 14 seconds: AROSE, STARE. I was tremendously lucky: it could have also been SCARE, SHARE, SNARE or SPARE. I saw 3 of these possibilities immediately. All were equally likely. T is the most common letter of these in general but in this case it didn't matter; each word had an equal chance (unless it has already been an answer; I don't remember past answers). It might have been something else too; I didn't do a comprehensive search of the answer list (after the fact of course; I never use external sources while playing). Congrats to all who got this in one!
The scream I scrumpt when I realized what the word was!! And don’t worry, I started with SHALE and still got it in four (I did SCARE and SPARE first cause I thought “no way it’s the obvious one”) PS: thank you so much to the kind person who suggested SHALE as my new starting word when I got SHARE in one, but right now it’s hurting my sole, cause I would most likely have gone with STARE if no one commented and that would make two in one week 🥲
You're welcome! Although I kinda wish I had just suggested you (and anyone else who had just won with Share) had joined us Stare Starters... many of my fellow Starers were acting like it was gonna be forever till Stare was the Wordle... imagine our surprise when it was just 5 days later. ;D So yeah, it would have been a very short stay, in any event. Anyway, I suggested Shale for you since it was only one letter away from your Share. Come to think of it, Spare hasn't been the Wordle yet either, so that's another option for any of us who love S-words as a starter! I've decided to choose between Steal and Shale depending on what 2nd words I can think of that go nicely with either/both of them (mostly by RSTLN+E method)... but who knows, maybe I'll think of a 3rd option before I am forced to hurry up and play by tonight!
I got it in two, but more interestingly - when I checked the bot, STARE was the #1 first guess by a couple percentage points, whereas literally every other time I've checked the bot it's been ADIEU. So there really are enough people cheating to make a difference, which is kinda sad.
I am... erm... I was a Stare Starter and my wife switched from Audio (when it hit) to Adieu and has been using it for the 1+ years since. It was fun to find out that we were using the #1 and #2 most days, but... like all things, it was never gonna last! ;D
My wife was an Audio starter until it hit... in August 2023, IIRC... She switched to Adieu after that. She also has like 4-6 words she usually uses depending on which letters are green/yellow in Adieu that day. I kinda envy that style she and you share, but... I prefer having a starter I ALWAYS use... and a 2nd word I just sometimes use (if I'm not choosing to play hard mode that day and go for it. I make the choice depending on how my starter does each and every day).
I had a similar experience in January 2024. I had been starting with ROUTE and SNAIL each day for over a year. The day before ROUTE was the answer, I posted my Wordle results on another UA-cam channel. Someone replied to my comment, letting me know that I was going to have "an amazing Wordle experience tomorrow". I don't believe the comment was intended to be malicious, but why spoil the moment?
@@stella_blue yeah, someone sent me a DM in the middle of the night last night saying "Todays your day for Wordle." By that point I had already made my video, so they weren't the one who spoiled it, but they didn't know I had already done the puzzle. Why ruin it?
STARE Starters rejoice! I was having a very wakeful early morning when I played at like 6 AM. It left me smiling for most of the rest of the morning and filled my day with more energy than usual (maybe the coffee helped! ;D). I was a Stone Starter from January 2022 to September 2023 and then it was Stone. I was a Stare Starter from September 2023 to December 2024 and then it was Stare. Time to choose my next word (while I would consider words starting with R or T, I REALLY do loves me an S-word... and especially an ST-word... so Steal might have the advantage over Shale and Spare and so on... argh! so hard to decide)!
I don't have a standard start, and I didn't get it one today, but I actually don't like getting it in one. I don't want sheer luck, I want to solve a puzzle!
That is also Rangsk's feeling on the matter. But for those of us with a standard start, it's not like 1s happen that often. Been using a standard starter since January 2022 and have gotten... 2 1s now. ;) My wife was using multiple starters but one of them was Earth and the day the W was Earth she used one of her other starters... the feeling of FOMO was so great that she switched to only Audio until it got her her first 1 just 1 month later (excellent timing!) and has been using Adieu ever since. My mom keeps using 2 starters. My sister has no real starter but she sometimes uses one of like half a dozen "usual suspect" words to start on most days.
My first hole-in-one today.
Congrats!
Got it in one today but I enjoyed your face at 0:48 even more!
The moment you realized at 0:48 was epic! I am one of the 6% today. After 1056 games played I finally have a 1 in my 1 stat 🤩
And now we all need a new starting word 😂
Congrats! I think trace is a good word that hasn't been the answer
@@Rangsk TRACE was the answer to Wordle 179 on December 15, 2021.
@@stella_blue huh, I could have sworn I'd checked that several times

Today was the day! No idea what I'm going to start with tomorrow though. Might mix it up for a while.
I got SHARE in one last week and someone suggested I change to SHALE, might be good to you too since it’s quite similar as well ☺️

My 2nd ever 1 today! 🎉
Congrats!
Good solve! A 2 for me.... ORATE STARE
I thought a lot more people had STARE as their starting word.
Elated to have gotten it in one!!!
Happy dance day. Stare is my second 1 guess solve.
Congrats!
Got as close to getting in one without actually getting it in one. Got the anagram as went with STEAR - STARE

I got a hole in one today. I'm thinking about steal as my new starting word.
Well done!
Reminds me of the one day I forgot to do Wordle ( couple of years ago ) and the answer was STAIR, which was painful for me !
I finally got a wordle in 2! Started with store
The scream I scrumpt when I realized what the word was!! And don’t worry, I started with SHALE and still got it in four (I did SCARE and SPARE first cause I thought “no way it’s the obvious one”)

An easy 3... Slate Round Stare. Took me under 15 seconds to solve!
I start with audio, but stare is my second guess if there is an “a”.
