I'm Scott Strosahl, and today I'm solving a new #Wordle variant called "Word 500". Word 500 is a lot like Wordle crossed with the classic game 'Mastermind'.

- Initial guess for line 4 of puzzle 1 is WISPY (haven't seen the answer yet) Didn't work :( the word was FISHY - Placing guess for puzzle 2, line 4 - DELVE Guess #2 for question 2 (it wasn't DELVE): PRIDE (PRICE works equally as well, but it's not my guess) After him guessing CLICK, PRICE is no longer possible, but PRIDE still stands! He guessed PRIDE, now the only other possible word I see is PRIZE, which is my guess. I missed it earlier GG! Got it right!

Hey Scott! I know that nasty liver gumbo has become sort of a tradition. Also it sounds pretty good. But playing today i noticed that gumbo uses some rather rare letters like g,m,b. What I first thought of was cough as a replacement, but maybe dough is worth consideration. They still use g, but including h and d or c seems profitable. What do you think?

When you did CLICK you Said something smart about not to use extra letters so it would have been smart if you wouldve use L or I in a different position instead of the ”right” one bc if so you could se witch one was right or not, i know it also could have been C that was yellow or smt like that i just think that wouldve made it easier

You can play word500 in 8 different languages. Expert mode is solving it in a language you don't speak. Seems impossible but it's totally doable. 7 random guesses and then logic on the last word. Doesn't matter if you don't speak Portuguese, you can still guess "zebra" "pasta" "hotel" "email" "viola" etc and then solve on turn 8
