Your influence is strong, Mark, as shown by my trying TELLY before JELLY. Well done on getting it, and never despair over the 300-second minutes. It is interesting to hear your verbal analysis.
Mine was worse: I went via FELLY! But I did get it, eventually, in 6: shirt, gland, vowel, plume, felly, jelly. I felt lucky that I never thought of belly.
OMG Mark! I almost chewed my fingernails off watching your suffering. What a relief you finished in tact. Mine was somewhat less anxiety ridden with a 4 ASIDE ENVOY JERKY JELLY 🎉🎉🎉

CRASH -> NIFTY -> BUMPY -> GODLY -> JELLY After NIFTY, I thought it very likely to have a double L, so I tried to cram as many other consonants in before then. It paid off.
I tried not to over think this, and I've lost the fear of losing my streak (it's strangely liberating), so got an all green 5: PARTY NOISY FULLY BELLY JELLY
At only 36:00 seconds, Mark, after your third guess you said, "Jelly" or "Belly", and then paused to give it some serious thought. 😁 I, on the other hand, charged ahead (as usual), at virtually the same point (guess three), never having even considered, "Leggy" or "Beefy", and here's my result, fwiw: A L I E N N O B L E Q U E L L B E L L Y J E L L Y I did come up with, "Seemy" as well, however. But only while I was watching this vid! 😜
CRASH > MOUNT > GLIDE > JELLY. I usually avoid trying J because I believe J is the least commonly used letter, but BELLY sounded like a past answer so I tried jelly first.
CRATE FLESH JELLY I actually got really lucky that JELLY was my first thought after FLESH, so I tried it. I wonder if TALLY (on the 17th) had something to do with it.
SPARE -> BLEND -> EXTOL -> GUILE -> JELLY ...obviously guile was a mistake & couldn't have been it, I forgot I'd ruled out "e" with my first guess, but it did rule out everything else, so it was useful!
I use “rinse” “octal” and “dumpy” as my lead in words every day. Got them from a marathon video Simon put out a while back. They work very well most of the time. All vowels and no repeat letters. Then again, I don’t do hard mode.
Ha ha, got it in four, and pretty fast. Partly because could take the time to check that BELLY had already been a solution, and my third guess precluded TELLY: AROSE EQUIP TWEET JELLY
According to the analyser, the only available words with 3 new letters after DECOY are BEEFY/FEELY/SEELY/SELFY/FEYLY/JEELY/MESHY/SELKY/SESEY/YEUKY. Lots of really obsolete/obscure words, funnily enough SELFY and MESHY would have been accepted tries, eventhough Mark decided to discard them.

Good thing you didn't think of messy. That could've made it all a lot messier.
Good thing*
Yeah I thought the same haha.
@@DeJayHank ditto
That was my guess.
Love it when Mark gets Wordle in a minute, not in a minute.

This is incorrect as the word belay is impossible after ‘party’
Geeky can't be the answer after Beefy tho, because E can't be third
Yes, Meshy must be right after all. Thanks to both of you.
Why is Welly not an option?
@@thomaschezzy3308 Americans call wellies "galoshes". Wordle will let you enter WELLY, but it will probably never be an answer word.
It's uncanny how often Mark tries to talk himself out of the correct answer! Can't you hear all of us yelling at you, Mark?!😅
He was right to wait to try it though, strategically!
@@EricMillHow so? It took six tries.
Your influence is strong, Mark, as shown by my trying TELLY before JELLY. Well done on getting it, and never despair over the 300-second minutes. It is interesting to hear your verbal analysis.
Telly and Welly are Britishisms. They might be accepted as guesses, but would not be solution words in the American English used by Wordle.
Mine was worse: I went via FELLY! But I did get it, eventually, in 6: shirt, gland, vowel, plume, felly, jelly. I felt lucky that I never thought of belly.
@@Anne_Mahoney I think I also tried WELLY. My goodness, and I never thought I was an anglophile!
Kelly is also an option
@@emilywilliams3237 You hang out here -- doesn't that make us all at least partly anglophiles? 😺

With hindsight, BELLY would have signalled BEEFY, JELLY and LEGGY (I didn’t see MESSY either).
Good point!
Love it what Mark gets stuck. Seems more human somehow.
So much for trying building up a reasonable streak, I failed this because I went for WELLY and BELLY without even thinking of JELLY. :-/
Also Telly, but I did get it in six. (I'm surprised our British friends, including Mark, didn't think of that.)
@@TinkerTailor4303 He'd already ruled out the T in the first guess, so maybe even if he thought of it there wasn't much point saying it out loud.
Got this one in two. GRAPE, then JELLY. I was so proud, and then lost my streak this morning again 🤦♂
Grape + jelly is inspired, though.
Veiny jelly sounds lovely
Good work, Mark! Phew! I got an astonishing two today with ANGLE > JELLY!
TRAIN-CHOSE-JELLY for me. I got very lucky.
This one did for me, mostly from just not paying attention. Gutted.
Nice. This took me all six too
CRASH -> NIFTY -> BUMPY -> GODLY -> JELLY
After NIFTY, I thought it very likely to have a double L, so I tried to cram as many other consonants in before then. It paid off.
PARTY-SLIMY-BELLY-JELLY. Next up, we’re going to have a ROUGH Quest (1996) as our starting word.
I like when wordle in a minute is relatable.
Don't forget about MESSY
That's what I was thinking too.
Word puzzles do weird things to your brain, in no other context would someone think of MESHY multiple times without the thought MESSY even occuring 😂
PARTY->SOULY->JELLY. Got through relatively lightly, it seems
It took me six attempts too.
Space - Tower - Denim - Geeky - Belly - Jelly
Well saved!
I got it in 6 too Mark, tricky one I thought
I tried not to over think this, and I've lost the fear of losing my streak (it's strangely liberating), so got an all green 5:
PARTY NOISY FULLY BELLY JELLY
I kept wanting him to put in selfy. 😂
You could also have had Kelly. Like the color Kelly green.
Stare > Lined > Cello > Jelly
I was very lucky with my choices there. I'm specially glad I went with Cello even though it has a double letter.
Stare - Liken - Jelly
@ Okay. Now I’m less glad i went with Cello.
You went straight to Jelly with basically the same info as me.
It's raining outside where's my other WELLY?
Same hard mode pattern for me, ended up getting it in 5.
CHEWY - MEATY - NERDY - BELLY - JELLY
I'm very glad you didn't think of MESSY, I got this in 4 after trying SPELL, lucky me!
Congratulations, Mark, and thanks for the video!! Phew!! 👏👏👏
Nice, SPELL was answer a couple weeks back
Got it in 4
Snowy -> Privy -> Delay -> Jelly
I never put Y last on my first guess on hard mode for this reason.
At only 36:00 seconds, Mark, after your third guess you said, "Jelly" or "Belly", and then paused to give it some serious thought. 😁
I, on the other hand, charged ahead (as usual), at virtually the same point (guess three), never having even considered, "Leggy" or "Beefy", and here's my result, fwiw:
A L I E N
N O B L E
Q U E L L
B E L L Y
J E L L Y
I did come up with, "Seemy" as well, however.
But only while I was watching this vid! 😜
CRASH > MOUNT > GLIDE > JELLY. I usually avoid trying J because I believe J is the least commonly used letter, but BELLY sounded like a past answer so I tried jelly first.
The fact that it is uncommon is why I think Wordle would use it!
I've paused playing wordle as nyt tech workers are on strike.
CRATE
FLESH
JELLY
I actually got really lucky that JELLY was my first thought after FLESH, so I tried it. I wonder if TALLY (on the 17th) had something to do with it.
I also got 6 guesses yesterday
Wordle in three.
probably good You didn't see messy ;)
SPARE -> BLEND -> EXTOL -> GUILE -> JELLY ...obviously guile was a mistake & couldn't have been it, I forgot I'd ruled out "e" with my first guess, but it did rule out everything else, so it was useful!
DC CHARACTERS ALPHABETICALLY DAY 48
SHIFT-DOWNY-BALKY-JELLY
Can anyone tell me what the background music for those videos is?
Forgot to record my guesses but I did eventually get it. Think it was a 5 or a 6.
I had been watching too much Letterkenny so i tried Celly before Jelly
MESSY was also a possibility…
Usually when Mark takes this long, it was on a hard word. But jelly wasn't all that hard was it?
I think he thought it had been used before.
I didn't it was that bad. Steam>Probe>Filed>Jelly
Didn't think of Messy?
It could have been "Messy"?
I use “rinse” “octal” and “dumpy” as my lead in words every day. Got them from a marathon video Simon put out a while back. They work very well most of the time. All vowels and no repeat letters. Then again, I don’t do hard mode.
I use that same approach. I lost my streak today trying belly and kelly
@ sorry.
Could the last word have been WELLY? Is that a word? Like a wellington boot, or to do something with welly, with vigour?
I'm sorry to report that WELLY isn't a word with which we Americans are very familiar, so it's very unlikely to ever be the answer.
Ha ha, got it in four, and pretty fast. Partly because could take the time to check that BELLY had already been a solution, and my third guess precluded TELLY:
AROSE
EQUIP
TWEET
JELLY
"Wordle ten an hour"
BELLY as a 4th guess would have been good because it would provide information for BEEFY, LEGGY, and JELLY.
I'm sure LEGGY has been an answer. I may be wrong, but I think it was one of the answers you failed on? Or was it Rangsk?
MESSY!
If he had followed the, "If you think of a word, put it in" rule, he would have finished in 4 and in under a minute.
According to the analyser, the only available words with 3 new letters after DECOY are BEEFY/FEELY/SEELY/SELFY/FEYLY/JEELY/MESHY/SELKY/SESEY/YEUKY.
Lots of really obsolete/obscure words, funnily enough SELFY and MESHY would have been accepted tries, eventhough Mark decided to discard them.
JOLLY was the answer on 4/21/2024.
I thought about belly and jelly after my 4th guess. Luckily, I chose the right one first:
