Official. Waiting for someone’s solution without two compound words.
I felt like I solved three times today.
Radiowave-embraceable was accepted.
Dreamworld-divorceable (Divorceable not accepted.)
Cowardlier-removable.
Oh my god. I found RADIOWAVE, WILDCARD, REMOVABLE, WORDABLE, REVOCABLE and COWARDICE but couldn’t manage a 2. Ended up with COWARDICE EMBLEM MOVE.
WAVICLE – EMBODIER 15/2. Other finds: LIBERO, WAVE(R), (C)OVER, COVERABLE, CRAVE, WOMB, [WOMBIER], LIVE, DIVE(R), (AD)VERB, VERBID, OVERDRAW, ABDICABLE, [CREAMWOVE], DROVE, MORBID, WILD, [AVOWABLE], [AMBROID].
LBF score: 7½ (6/12 letters guessed). Keeping the same one once more:
RZU AIX VEN JOQ.
Great! More finds: BRAVADO, OVERWORLD
Cheers, Steph!
My favorite dead ends VAMBRACE COMBOVER
my word list: BELIEVER BOILER BOWLER CADAVER CLEAVER DREAMER MORBID REAVOW RECOILER RECORD WORDIER
BOMBARDIER!
One shy: COWARDICE-EMBLEM
Always surprised they don’t allow COVID. (Or WORDLE.) Birds: CROW and DOVE. Foreign food: RAVIOLI (almost).
I spotted WORDLE as well but thought LETTER-BOXED has no chance of making it to Wordle so, heigh-ho, it’s only fair.
Not to mention LETTERBOXED having no chance of making it to Letterboxed…!
I do, in fact, wonder if WORDLE is a word in 6-letter Wordle (I’ll let you know as soon as I’ve tried that out).
Wordable is accepted. New one for me.
Indeed, WORDLE is -rather self-importantly- a playable word in 6-letter Wordle. Anyone interested in trying their hand at 4 to 11-letter Wordle (as well as other Wordle variants), feel free to visit
https://wordlegame.org/
although I myself haven’t gotten stuck in any; a few of them seem to be unnecessarily complex, plus I figure the puzzle’s originator got the 5-letter length just about right (or it’s what we’ve now come to be used to).
My favorite Unlimited Wordle site is wordplay.com – it has alternatives (at least, the 6-letter one), and best of all, you can change and delete letters instead of having to erase the whole thing…
Yes, that too. That feature of being able to keep parts of the words is particularly helpful, indeed!

Add Bromeliad (plant) and Bream (fish). 🙂
It wouldn’t cross my mind in a billion years. A lot of those UN-, RE- & -ABLE words seem largely fabricated &, frankly, ‘unrethinkable’.
(in response to Jo, 1:45 PM)
I tried it on a whim and was surprised it existed. Alas, still didn’t help me solve the puzzle in two.
Noted, however, for future use. 👍
COWARDLIER — RECOVERABLE
But COWARDLIER wasn’t accepted! Boo-hiss!
whoops I meant COWARDLIER — **REMOVABLE**
Missed today
Seemed to get close each time with OVER- and -ABLE but couldn’t make those fixes work.
Btw, SB pangram was almost there in LB
I play SB in an unorthodox way. Since I play the free version, I try to put in the biggest word possible right on the first try. If it’s big enough the game will block you from playing further. I take that as a victory in SB. 🙂
Mark can you sign back on thru incognito and just keep playing?
Yes. If I close my browser (Chrome in Incognito mode), then reopen it, I can play again. Same with LB.
As long as you have it set to delete cookies when exiting.
You can also use different devices, Phone, iPad, desktop, etc. I sometimes forget if I solved Wordle or not.
My method with SB is to see how many pangrams there are, find and write them all down, and if there’s multiple pangrams, use them from smallest to largest, as possible, to reach a score exactly one point below “Solid” (because as soon as you hit or exceed Solid, the game shuts off if you don’t subscribe). Then throw the biggest pangram on top, for the largest possible score for a non-subscriber.
Nope. Although I saw all the separate words (wild, bomb, etc.), I never put them together. Somehow, compound words often don’t register for me.
I had high hopes for BROMELIAD (goes in Mark’s plant collection). Also, COMBOVER and OVERBOWL were accepted. The latter seems fairly old school. No idea why the former occurred to me 😃
Oh good one with BROMELIAD. I certainly did not see that one! Didn’t know it either, until now.
Love bromeliad. If you are a Terry Pratchet fan and have not read the Bromeliad Trilogy you are in for a treat. RIP Terry
I also got Wild and Bomb/er but wouldn’t think of Wildcard as one word, or Divebomb. Got several 5- and a 4-word answers earlier today; just now found a 3-worder: COWARDICE EMBLEM MOVE.
When I first tried today’s puzzle, the letters were AOL RMI WED VCB. When I returned late this afternoon, I found LRC EGK HIB NTA. Any idea why?
I got that as well. It’s the letters for 7th April. I solved it anyway, but I’ll wait until this page catches up before I post.
Okay, my solution for LRC EGK HIB NTA was BREAKING GLITCH which pretty much speaks for itself. It wasn’t as I thought the new set for 7 April, but a 2nd set for 6 April.
