Wordle / Nerdle Thursday 22 June 2023.
2023 年 6 月 22 日星期四的 Wordle / Nerdle 文字和数字游戏。

The above is our record of wordle games played over for the last 116 days. Before that, we played but because of a change of computer, the precious record was lost. The Wordle APP also fails to carry on the “Current Streak” counts properly and in many cases it reverts to 1 for no reason whatsoever. Suffice it to say that our own record show that we should be a current streak of 116 and a maximum streak by this number 116 too.
以上是我们过去 116 天玩过的文字游戏的记录。之前我们玩过,但因为换了电脑,珍贵的唱片丢失了。 Wordle APP 也无法正确进行“当前连胜”计数,并且在许多情况下它会无缘无故地恢复为 1。我只想说,我们自己的记录表明,我们目前的连胜纪录应该是 116 场,并且也是这个数字的最大连胜纪录 116 场。
Returning to today’s Wordle, we started off in our usual manner with a word AUDIO, a five lettered word with four vowels of “A”, “I”, “O”, and “U”. The result is that only “A” qualifies towards a solution but is colored yellow, meaning that the letter is in the wrong position.
We test for the missing vowel “E” next with the word ENACT. Here the result is that we have now three yellow letters “E”, “A” and “T”.
It is easy for us to work out logically that the letter “T” should take the lead with the vowel “A” placed in the second position. The work we choose to use is TAKES.
The result of this is: Two green colored letters in ” T ” and ” A “, and two yellow colored letters in ” E ” and ” S “.
It can now get the right solution to this game by the fourth attempt.
回到今天的 Wordle,我们以通常的方式从单词 AUDIO 开始,这是一个包含四个元音“A”、“I”、“O”和“U”的五个字母单词。结果是,只有“A”符合解决方案,但颜色为黄色,这意味着该字母位于错误的位置。 接下来我们用单词 ENACT 测试缺失的元音“E”。结果是我们现在有三个黄色字母“E”、“A”和“T”。 我们很容易从逻辑上看出,字母“T”应该在前面,元音“A”放在第二个位置。我们选择使用的作品是 TAKES。 结果是:“T”和“A”中的两个绿色字母,“E”和“S”中的两个黄色字母。 它现在可以通过第四次尝试得到这个游戏的正确解决方案。

Now for today’s Nerdle: As usual we start with the equal sign placed in the sixth position, the addition sign in the second position and the multiplication sign in the fourth position. The five different digit we choose to form an equation are: 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9.
4 + 9 * 6 = 5 8.
现在轮到今天的 Nerdle:像往常一样,我们从第六个位置的等号开始,第二个位置的加号和第四个位置的乘号。我们选择组成等式的五个不同数字是:4、5、6、8 和 9。 4 + 9 * 6 = 5 8。
The result: (a) The addition and the equal signs are in their second and sixth order of placement - a definite plus toward the right solution. (b) The multiplication sign is not in the solution, unfortunately. And, with two digits as the answer to that equation, there is not going to have a division ( / ) or a deduction ( - ) sign in the solution. This also means that the seventh cell has to be a number less than 2. (c) We put our second equation as:
9 + 6 + 7 = 2 2.
Result: Digits 2 and 7 are out. The two plus signs are correctly positioned. The starting digit 9 is also correct.
结果: (a) 加法和等号在它们的第二和第六位置 - 对正确解决方案的明确加分。 (b) 不幸的是,乘号不在解决方案中。并且,使用两位数字作为该方程式的答案,解决方案中不会有除号 (/) 或减号 (-)。这也意味着第七个单元格必须是一个小于 2 的数字。 (c) 我们将第二个等式写成: 9 + 6 + 7 = 2 2。 结果:数字 2 和 7 已出。两个加号的位置正确。起始数字 9 也是正确的。
Simply put, because the digits 5, 7, and 8 are out of the game, the seventh digit has to be a 1, and the last digit has to be a 6, logically, looking at the past two equations.
We now have that correct solution.
简单的说,因为5、7、8这几个数字出局了,所以第7个数字就得是1,最后一个数字就得是6,从逻辑上看,看过去的两个等式。 我们现在有了正确的解决方案。

Wordle Friday, 23rd June 2023.
We always start with a five-letter word with four vowels from the following list of words:
ADIEU. AUDIO. AULOI. AURIE. LOUIE. MIAOU. OUIJA. OURIE. Today we start with the word OURIE which means depressing or shivering with cold.
WORDLE 2023 年 6 月 23 日,星期五。
我们总是从以下单词列表中的一个带有四个元音的五个字母的单词开始:
ADIEU. AUDIO. AULOI. AURIE. LOUIE. MIAOU. OUIJA. OURIE. 今天我们从OURIE这个词开始,意思是寒冷的沮丧或颤抖。

Result: Letters “O” and “E” are coloured yellow - right letters, wrong positions. We would like to follow the usual pattern of testing if the missing vowel “A” is in the solution, but this time, we take a different path. We use the word HOTEL. The result is good, with “O” and “E” now correctly placed and another letter ” T ” coloured yellow. “T” can be the beginning of the word or the end of that word.
结果:字母“O”和“E”是黄色的 - 正确的字母,错误的位置。 如果解决方案中缺少元音“A”,我们希望遵循通常的测试模式,但这一次,我们采取了不同的路径。 我们使用“酒店”一词。 结果很好,“O”和“E”现在正确放置,另一个字母“T”被涂成黄色。 “T”可以是单词的开头或单词的结尾。

So, “T” has to be at the end of the word. We consider that there are only two possible words and these are COMET or COVET.
We go for COVET.
因此,“T”必须位于单词的末尾。 我们认为只有两个可能的词,它们是 COMET 或 COVET。
我们选择COVET。

And the result:

is correct.

Nerdle for Friday 23rd June 2023.
We start as usual - five different digits joined by a ( + ) and a ( * ) with the ( = ) sign at position sixth.
2023 年 6 月 23 日星期五的书。
我们像往常一样开始 - 五个不同的数字由 ( + ) 和 ( * ) 连接,( = ) 符号位于第六位。

Result: The equal sign is in the right place. The multiplication sign has been cast out. The plus sign is coloured purple, and because of a double digit answer, this plus sign has to be in the third position. Digit 9 is coloured green (Correct) and Digit 6 is coloured purple - Wrong position. Digits 3, 5, and 7 are not the right digits for today’s solution.
结果:等号位于正确的位置。 乘法符号已被抛出。 加号是紫色的,由于答案是两位数,这个加号必须位于第三个位置。 数字 9 为绿色(正确),数字 6 为紫色 - 位置错误。 数字 3、5 和 7 不是当今解决方案的正确数字。
The Logic goes like this: The first number with two digits must be a low number less than 40, as we intend to move digit 6 to the fourth position. Any number above 40 will produce a three figured answer and we have no space for a three-digit answer. So we go for 22 + 69 = 91.
逻辑是这样的:第一个带有两位数的数字必须是小于 40 的低数字,因为我们打算将数字 6 移动到第四位。 任何高于 40 的数字都会产生一个三位数的答案,我们没有空间容纳三位数的答案。 所以我们选择22 + 69 = 91。
Result: Digit 2 is out of the race. A second digit 9 cannot be moved to the first or second positions as this would create a three-digit answer (not possible). Digit 9 has to be either in the second or the eighth position. We choose the second position for 9 and this give us digit 8 as the last digit. The first digit has to be a 1, as 1 and 3 are out of the race and any higher number in the first position will result in an answer in three-digits.
结果:数字 2 退出比赛。 第二个数字 9 不能移动到第一个或第二个位置,因为这会创建一个三位数的答案(不可能)。 数字 9 必须位于第二或第八位。 我们为 9 选择第二个位置,这给了我们数字 8 作为最后一个数字。第一个数字必须是 1,因为 1 和 3 退出比赛,第一个位置的任何更高数字都会导致三位数的答案。


So, 19 + 69 = 88 is the correct solution.

Wordle for Saturday 24th June 2023.

First word AUDIO has two yellow-coloured letters “A” and “D”. The second word aims to test if the vowel “E” is in the solution.

“E” is out. But we gain another yellow-coloured letter in “R”.

The next word TRADY is simply a word we invented, not knowing what TRADY means. Our logic is as follows: “D” has to be the fourth or the fifth letter. We first thought of the word TRADE but realized that “E” had already been rejected. We then think of this word TRADY as a Tradesperson. The result confirms that “D” is the last fifth letter. Therefore, we use the word GRAND as our next attempt.

Nerdle, Saturday, 24th June 2023.

Same rule to start off this game - five different digits with ( + ) in second position, ( * ) in fourth, and equal sign ( = ) in sixth position. Result: Both ( * ) and ( + ) not in the solution. Equal Sign has to be on the seventh position.

Minus sign ( - ) in the third position is wrong. We have to place it in the second position in which case the digit in the first position has to be a high number, say 9. The fifth position has to be a divide sign. So, we try: 9 - 1 4 / 7 = 7. 14 divided by 2 produces 2, and 9 - 2 produces 7. This proves to be the correct solution.

Wordle for Sunday, 25 June 2023.

The first word OURIE produces three yellow-coloured lettters in “O”, “R”, and “E”. We make use of these three letters in ROBED as the second word.

This word gives us three green-coloured letters in “R”, “O”, and “E” and one yellow-coloured letter in “D”. The solution can easily be guessed as RODEO which is correct.

Nerdle for Sunday, 25 June 2023.

4 + 7 * 2 = 1 8. Equal sign is in the wrong position. The sign should be in the fifth position as the ( * ) sign in the solution and this sign is going to be in the third position, the answer to the equation must contain three digits.
Rearranging the known digits that are in the solution, we have 7 9 * 4 = 3 1 6. Encouraging!



=====
Wordle for Monday, 26th June 2023.

MIAOU only gets one yellow-coloured letter “U”. The word to test the presence of vowel “E”, UNCLE gets two yellow-coloured letters ” U ” and ” E “. That is progress.

Third word “TUBES” fares better with letter ” U ” now turning green in the second position and two additional yellow-coloured letters ” T ” and ” S “. As there is no word starting with ” EU ” (other than EUROS), we are placing vowel ” E ” in the third position, and letter ” T ” will then be in the fifth position, replacing ” S ” to be shifted to the fourth position. What can the starting letter be? There can be only two such starting letters that make sense - either G for GUEST or Q for QUEST. Take your pick.

Too bad!

All correct for sure!

Nerdle for Monday 26th June 2023.

With the equal sign correctly placed in the sixth position but without the support of the multiplication and the division signs, the solution must be that there is only sign - a deduction sign in the third position. A division sign cannot produce an answer with two digits.

Therefore, our second equation is: 7 6 - 2 4 = 5 2. Result: Subtraction sign is correctly positioned. Digit 7 must be shifted to the second position (why? because the higher numbers have to be in the left-hand side of the deduction sign. ) Digit 4, being less than 5, is to be on the right-hand side of the deduction sign, perhaps in the fourth position. The smallest number must be shifted to the answer side of the equation. 6 7 - 4 6 = 2 1. Result: Six cells coloured green and two cells coloured purple. This just means the solution is simply the interchange of the two purple-coloured digits.

Wordle, for Tuesday, 27th June 2023.

First word LOUIE produces two yellow-coloured letters ” O ” and ” U “. We have to introduce a word with the vowel ” A ” to see if ” A ” is present in the solution. But the temptation here is to see where ” OU ” are located first. We use the word SMOUT (meaning “a child or an undersized person”) and the result is as expected with “OUT” being the last three letters in a five-lettered word.

The next word comes quickly with ABOUT and this can also test whether vowel ” A ” is in the solution.


=====
Nerdle for Tuesday, 27th June 2023.

The usual five digits connected with the ( * ) and the ( + ) sign with the equal sign in the sixth position. The result is that the ( * ) sign is out and the ( = ) sign is not in the sixth position. With a ( + ) sign in green at position two, the equal sign has to be in the seventh position, not the fifth.
We need to test is the deduction sign is in the solution by using the equation with the deduction sign in the fourth position, thus:

There is no deduction sign and so there must be the division sign and to allow the space for division to work, the sign has to be in the fifth position.

1 4 / 7 produces a 2 and when 2 is added to 3, the answer is 5. This is the solution.
