Between The Wheels

As discussed in the Wordle thread, but I thought I'd post something separately so it doesn't get lost in the noise: there will be an Easter Wordle Contest during the ten days leading up to Easter Sunday, so that'll be Wordle 1392 (Apr 11th) to Wordle 1401 (Apr 20th).

There'll be a 5-day warm up from March 10th (next Monday) to March 14th (next Friday). That's Wordle 1360 - 1364.

• Contestants are asked not to visit the Wordle thread (or other Wordle discussions) until their own attempt for the day has been completed.
• If you miss a day no problem, just use https://wordlearchive.com/ when you can and submit retrospectively.
• The Reg Wordle Scoring System^TM will be used: 0 points if you fail, 1 if you get it in 6, 2 if you get it in 5 - and so on.
• An online spreadsheet will record the number of goes per day per contestant, do the maths and display a league table.

All comers welcome

Currently I have the following as taking part (I assume in both the warmup and Easter, although of course it's not both or nothing)

Matt
Nop
Fishy
Dom
Picnic
Slim

Any more?

Can we start nop on -5 to give everyone else a chance of winning😀🙄

I will try and boost the numbers. I've just got out of the habit of doing Wordle.

With only two points separating bottom from top, looks like we're headed for a tense climax!

I'm in please guys

Nice to see you here! I'll put you down for the Easter one. Thanks!

Thanks Slim, it feels warm and homely !

Congrats to Nop on an outstanding performance in the warm up - got it in two four times out of five, very impressive.

And thanks to everyone for taking part.

I feel warmed up, and flunk out with 5 tries today. I guess I need the pressure!

A reminder:

The Easter Wordle competition begins on Friday, with Wordle 1392. All welcome, please let me know in this thread if you're taking part (or not) otherwise I assume:

Nop
Dom
Picnic
Reg
Slim
Fishy
Matt
Pricey

I am. Taking part that is.

Count me in please.

Oh yes!

Please!

Yes please  :)

OK the league table for the Easter Wordle is here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AurcPWdvx7NhOk-6EDQ1ls8wTO3S4gQR3rSUAaX8YUk/edit?gid=566419384#gid=566419384). Thanks everyone.

Only three points separate the first five places. With two rounds to go, we're heading for a dramatic climax.

Apologies, I've just realised the spreadsheet was faulty, I extended it from the warmup without adjusting the formulae so the last couple of days weren't summed in the total column. Fixed now.

The actual table looks like this as I type; obviously I'm only on top because I've done all ten days. Sorry again.

Huge congratulations to @Matt2112, our new Easter Wordle Champion - brilliant result, well done Matt!

Well done Matt! Congrats!

Well done Matt.. 👍😀

Thank you all; an especially pleasing result after two consecutive finishes at rock bottom!

I just hit a patch of good form at the right time and look forward to the next competition.  Big thanks again to James for putting it all together.  :)

Another Easter Wordle competition, everyone?

I propose ten rounds, starting on Friday, March 27th and concluding on Easter Sunday (April 5th).

Yes please.. I'm in

I'm winning this!

Yes please

Apologies for the idiotic post. I had a very, very bad yesterday night.

Sounds good !

Aye!

The pressure is killing me guys.

I'm in, likely as an also-ran, but we'll see how it goes. :)

EDIT:  Shit, I didn't realise it's been about a year since I won one of these competitions. Tempus fugit..!  Even more mind-blowing is that I'm the defending Easter champion..!

OK thanks everyone, so the competition will start on March 27th with Wordle 1742 and conclude on April 5th with Wordle 1751.

I have the following entrants:

Dom
Fishy
Matt
Nop
Picnic
Slim

but happy to add more.

As usual:

• If you miss a day no problem, just use https://wordlearchive.com/ (https://wordlearchive.com/) or a similar service when you can and submit retrospectively.
• The Reg Wordle Scoring System^TM will be used: 0 points if you fail, 1 if you get it in 6, 2 if you get it in 5 - and so on.
• An online spreadsheet will record the number of goes per day per contestant, do the maths and display a league table.

I'm aware that I did make an error with the scoring last time. The spreadsheet shows the number of goes each entrant takes for each day so please check that if you have time. The formula is definitely correct so no need to check the calculated score.

Good luck everyone.

We doing a last day double points?

I thought not this time (myself) but I would be happy to follow the consensus view. I'll start a vote thread (why not).

So as discussed in the poll thread we are doing double points for Wordle 1751. The league table spreadsheet is here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17g_Ebzps0uwLIcqDnv29xCs9BFwdXCXMROmxSDwsFrM/edit?usp=sharing

I'll put it in my sig tomorrow, will update it as and when I can.

Right after the first two rounds the table looks like this:

Pretty sure I've entered the data correctly but I would encourage players to cast an occasional eye over it to ensure that the numbers of goes recorded match your actual performance from time to time. Many thanks! Live table (or as live as I can make it) in my sig.

Can we stop the competition now pls😀

You've got this Fishy. Hang in there.

With three rounds to go, the table looks like this (hopefully, please do check your numbers of goes for each round)

No Noppers has it...I will crumble

Right so with the final results in, the final table looks like this:

Congrats Nop! The Easter '26 Champion.

It was pretty close, bravo to Fishy for a strong second place. And as always, thanks to everyone for taking part.

Thanks and thank you as always for the score keeping. Looking at this it was very close, nice!

Well done, Nop!

How about a two day start for a mere mortal next time? 😂

Well done Noppers😀

And thanks everyone else👍

Well done Nop, an enjoyable competition as ever.

I can take consolation that I could be described as the strongest competitor, given I was holding up the rest of the league throughout. :)
