OT Wordle.

I think it would be easy enough for each of us to maintain our own score card each day for the 18 days showing:

Hole number (ie date)
Hole score (number of guesses)
Par score (0, +1, -1 etc)
Par score so far (ie sum of all the scores for this 18 hole round)

I’d suggest:

4 guesses is par = 0
3 guesses is 1 under par = -1
2 guesses is 2 under par = -2
1 guess is 3 under par = -3
5 guesses 1 over par = +1
6 guesses 2 over par = +2
Over 6 guesses 3 over par +3

(Howdy suggested par at 5 guesses which might work out well but let’s try at 4 first if only because 18 x 4 = 72 and it seems more like golf!)

If we each keep our own scores I can publish a “Leaderboard” every few days to see our rankings. I’ll then show a final Leaderboard after 18 days (holes). The person with the lowest accumulated score is the winner.

I did it in 3 guesses today (Friday) So suggest this format:

Hole 1 (Nov 11): 3
Par score: -1
Par score so far: -1

(For the avoidance of doubt, if tomorrow I guess it in 5, my Par score for that hole will be +1 and my Par score so far will be Par ie 0 being the sum of -1 and +1)

Let me know if you’re in. If we have three or more it’s worth a try. Let’s start in a couple of days so you can raise doubts and suggest possible improvements.

Count me in.

Par should be 4. Only suggested 5 if the competition was going to be a points tally format.

If we started Friday I'm one over par after 2 holes.

[CTMilller]

A 3 for me - so 1 under.

There are nine of us up for this and no call for different rules. Since Brin is in and didn't play yesterday, let's tee-off today as the first hole.

Obviously a bit boring after one hole but this is how it looks (just so everybody gets the picture. I'll not put this up every day and will simplify once we're all comfortable with the format. I'll rank alphabetically when round scores are the same - unless we think of a better differentiation.)

Hole 1 (Nov 12)
-------

1. Brin 3 shots 1 under for hole 1 under for round
2. CT 3 shots 1 under for hole 1 under for round
3. Millertop 3 shots 1 under for hole 1 under for round
4. Bramley 4 shots Par for hole Par for round
5. Howdy 4 shots Par for hole Par for round
6. Raging 4 shots Par for hole Par for round
7. Ronners 4 shots Par for hole Par for round
8. CAM 5 shots 1 over for hole 1 over for round
9. Jake 5 shots 1 over for hole 1 over for round

Quite lucky for 3. Could have been a number of words after 2nd guess but guessed the correct word. Makes a change!

What a nightmare!

Started off okay with 2 yellow, it was a start so not so bad. Then 2 green so things were looking up then I pitched to the left into a bunker.

2 more green, 2 more green, still on 2 green, finally only 2 green I'm still trying to get out of the bunker but getting deeper, reckon i'll be in Australia by tomorrow.

Hole 2 left me with 3 over par +3. Back to the drawing board as they say. The word was clearly ***** for me. .

+2 after 2 holes

[CAMiller]

Chipped in from the edge of the green for a birdie 3 but in all honesty the hole looked huge as there was probably only one word it could be.

Back to level par after 2 holes.
