I am creating a wordle thread for this forum!
RULES:
1. You can only guess a word once every 6 hours. (Unless a new round begins during the 6 hours)
2. If you get the word right, you have 24 hours to post a word.
3. If all 6 guesses have been used up by guessers, the first guesser gets to do the word.
4. The chosen word is preferred to have something to do with roads/this forum, but any appropriate word can be used.
5. The Wordle "Hard Mode" is always in effect.
6. Guesses must be responded to in under 12 hours, if no response has happened after 24 hours, a new round can start.
EMOJIS:
:) = Letter is in correct spot.
:-| = Letter is in the word, but wrong spot.
:angry: or :no: = Letter is not in word.
Let's start!
Available Letters:
All 26!
Word:

NORTH
The first one went well!
This is going to be like the many "Guess the..." challenges, but even more dependent on the author to respond quickly. Like right now, I'd make a guess, but I'd rather wait until we have information about the previous guess before I do (in fact, it's not specified, but I may actually be required to wait until then).

Do the words have to be in the Wordle dictionary?
Can they be proper nouns?

The difficulty can be anything the word poster chooses.
The words do not have to be in the Wordle Dictionary.
Yes, but it's not required to use a proper noun.

No, I mean the "hard mode" setting that the player chooses in Settings on the original Wordle game ("Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses"). Are you saying the GM can set this on a per-word basis?

No, the original wordle hard mode is required, so no using guesses just to get letters.

As webny99 noted, this game will work best if the author answers quickly.
On a separate rules-related issue, not that it fits this go-around, but would TOTSO be considered a word, or just an acronym? Radar, for example, is an acronym that has been turned into a word. This forum has turned TOTSO into a word.

In most of our forum games it does, so I see no reason why this one should be any different.

The word does fit the road theme at least somewhat. I didn't choose a random word from the dictionary.

Green letters: F, I, _, T, _
Continue guessing. I intentionally made this a hard one.

There should really be a URL-based way of generating the image the same way that the "guess the state" maps and the custom VMS messages exist.

This was the actual Wordle word a couple of days ago.
I think that was the actual wordle on the day this game started, so while it was on my mind, using the same word as the wordle game would be 'giving it away' in my opinion.
I don't use the emoji at all when I'm GMing because I find it makes it harder to keep track of which letters are which color in which position.

I was going to guess this on mine, but on the first clue, you said 'R' was not in the middle, so it couldn't work. I was trying to come up with some kind of place name that was _O_UR and couldn't come up with anything.

I thought there was something wrong with it, just couldn't tell what. Major error on my end. :banghead:
Feel free to post the next word

I'm fine with that. Knock yourself out.
Nah. All good. Jlam, hit it up. I just spent a few too many minutes trying to come up with a city that ended with -ur. :bigass:

Let's add another "victory" guessing thread for Chris, I guess.

Huh, it doesn't show that you edited the previous post. Probably a thing with the update.
ADOPT
It looks like 1 (or whatever his new handle is now) deleted his post. He had guessed 'BAYOU'.

Ah, just saw it. An edited post shows that it has been edited in its upper-right corner now, not at the bottom.
