![]() To play Danger Word: Christmas Edition, start by printing out the word sets (free below) and cutting them into strips, folding them, and putting them in a bowl. How To Play Danger Word: Christmas Edition with Free Printable Seriously, if you have not seen Ellen’s Game of Games, check it out on Hulu.īecause I have created this game for holiday parties, I have instructions for large groups below. When a team loses, the guesser gets blasted with food from a canon. Ellen usually has two teams, each with two members, a clue giver, and a guesser. The concept is easy, the execution… maybe not.Įither way, it is a fun game. ![]() Getting people to say the winning word and avoid the danger word may actually be quite tricky. Seems simple right? Because it is … at least in theory. If you're done with Wordle for the day, try these other addicting puzzle games.The game Danger Word is basically a game where two teams are trying to guess a winning word, but there is also a danger word, and if you guess that word, you automatically lose the round. Plus, New York Times Games has released a new way to play Wordle. But I almost always find myself in a good place after two rounds of guessing.įor more Wordle tips and tricks, here's a roundup of excellent strategies. Since these attempts aren't really words, there's no danger of me accidentally hitting enter and wasting a guess by mistake. I choose an X because I like to type it right into the Wordle grid, and X seems the most like a blank to me. That might give you a better view of possibilities. If the Xs make it too confusing, you can also just write down the options using blanks. Remember, the Xs don't stand for X, they stand for "I don't know this letter." If I know there's another letter, say an B, somewhere in the mix, I might try typing it in all the empty spots - BXXON, XBXON, XXBON - and see if I can picture what words work. (I don't enter these words as guesses, I just look at them for ideas, then backspace over them and delete.) Then I study the unguessed letters in the keyboard and mentally picture them where the Xs are. If I know the word ends in "ON" from my guesses, I type in XXXON. So I type in the correct letters I have, plus Xs for each letter I have no clue about. If I have just a couple of letters in the right spot, I personally need to see how the word looks. Remember, too, that there may be more than one of the same letter used. Danger Word is a wildly funny, intense, and unpredictable word guessing game based on the Danger Word Game seen on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and her primetime. If you know that you have an F but not where it goes, guess a word with a lot of Fs, like "FLUFF." That way, you can at least determine if there's an F in three of the five spots. If you've got a correct letter, but don't know which spot it should go in, you can have some fun with your third guess. Then I'm able to look at the keyboard showing me which letters I haven't yet guessed, and choose a word that uses any correct letters plus any major consonants I haven't yet guessed. But believe it or not, that helps me, too. Sometimes, though, I get zero correct letters out of CLOSE. It gets two more vowels out of the way, and C, L and S also turn up in the top 10 most-used letter list. And it's an easy to remember starter word for sure.ĬLOSE as a second choice is interesting. All five of the letters in TRAIN are among the top seven letters used.Īll I know is that nearly every time I use TRAIN as a starter word, I get a couple correct letters, often in the right spot. TRAIN is pretty self-explanatory if you've studied which letters are most commonly used in English words. Hop on the 'TRAIN'īut these days, I'm starting every Wordle round with "TRAIN," and then moving on to "CLOSE." I may go back to it if I feel I'm in a rut. I was a longtime user of "ADIEU" to get in a ton of vowels, and I would often move on to "STORY," to get the two other vowels (sometimes Y!) and some other major consonants going. I stuck to the same starter words for a long time, and they'd usually work for me. The online game gives you six chances to guess a randomly selected five-letter word, and if you get correct letters, they show up in different colors, depending on if they're in the right spot in the word or not. The puzzle was invented by Josh Wardle (Wardle - Wordle, get it?) and bought for big bucks by The New York Times back in January. If you're reading this, Wordle needs no explanation. My win streak is at 32 now - a personal best for me. Wordle has become increasingly more satisfying for me since I developed a two-step strategy that seemingly works every time.
