Got lewdle in 3 today. Thought it can’t be that and it was then said the site said ‘where did you learn that word!?’ and I’ve no idea. Must be some sort of profanity savant.

Had to go to my last guess for the first time today ...

For someone who hates reading and is so incapable for anything to do with language I can't believe how much I'm enjoying this ...

If you think it's too easy, try finding a game in another language than your native. That's what I do when playing in English. :D

Got it in three today: very happy with that.

Clever choice of first word :mrgreen: and getting the last vowel in the right place on the second line left me with only 2 viable options for the 3rd line. I picked the wrong one so 4 today. Still 100%

MrT6 has English as a second language (he's a Scouser), I'll see how he gets on :lol:

:thumright:

Does the Swedish version (I assume there is one) treat the inflected vowels (a/å/ä and o/ö ) as different ?

Yeah. Try doing one in Mandarin! :oops:

Apparently it’s not catching on. They’re not keen on crosswords either! :lol:

Which is why sudoku was invented. A crossword for people with no vocabulary! :lol:

Å. Ä and Ö are vowels in their own right, so different from other diacritic marks. "É" is for example not its own letter, it's just a regular "E" with an actute accent. The same goes umlauts on "U": not its own letter. Accents, tremas and circumflexes on vowels are really only used in loanwords. As many languages, Swedish (unlike English) also considers "Y" to be a vowel.

I don't know if there's a Swedish version of Wordle yet. It wouldn't surprise me. As I wrote some pages back, we had a gameshow in the 90s with the exact same rules.

The letter "W" is special in Swedish: it's used (sparingly), but in dictionaries it's considered the same letter as "V" and we don't say it if reciting the alphabet. It has its own pronounciation in the radio telephony alphabet that we use when using Swedish phraseology.

There's more to say, but I doubt anyone except @kanga would be interested. :lol:

Sudoku was reportedly invented in the US, but it got its name and widespread popularity in Jaoan where they, as you say, aren't big on crossword puzzles.

There appears to be some debate whether Maki Kaji who died last year or Howard Garn (d.1989) was the inventor of Sudoku,
