…finally got one!

Right on.

Couple other logic games I like to play...
Sudoku....most of you are probably aware of this one.
Hashi (bridges)...this is one I found when I got tired of Sudoku.

Anyone else got other puzzle games you like to play?

163

the game sets a hidden minefield and depending on its arrangement you have to make probability guesses

the less the faster you will solve

any patterns in wordle?

Not that I'm aware of.
Just that every word has a vowel....and that some letters occur more frequently in words than other letters.
Choosing words with different letters can help eliminate options.
One of the toughest I've done went like this...
A D I E U ...looks for potential vowels...every letter came back nada.
S T O C K ...checks high occurrence letters, and the remaining vowel...every letter came back nada again.
..............At this point I was kinda puzzled...no vowel and 5 common consonants eliminated.
..............Looking at what letters were still left on the keyboard I was able to come up with a third word with letters not yet used...
G L Y P H ...got lucky, got the vowel, and two consonants in the right position.
..............Then it was just a matter of staring at the letters left, and coming up with an actual word ending with PH.
..............Got lucky on my next guess...
N Y M P H ...ta-da!
