Today’s Wordel #1516 and Answer on Wednesday 13 August

It is Wordel Wednesday, ladies and gentlemen, and this week I don’t forget the extra puzzle! Every week, on Odin’s day, I hand out an extra mystery, brain-teaser or logical puzzle to update things. Last week I forgot it and I posted it on Thursday. In any case, before we get to De Wordel, here your Wordel is extra challenge on Wednesday.

Looking for yesterday’s Wordel? Get some hints, instructions and the answer here.

Four men sat down to play, they played all night until the break of the day,

They played for gold and not for fun, with individual scores for everyone,

When the time came to square accounts, they each made quite fair amounts

So answer me this paradox, how every man won nobody then lost?

If you solve it, get a message to me Twitter” Instagramor Facebook. I’ll post the answer tomorrow. Now, dear Wordlers, we have to solve a wrestling!

How to play

Wordel is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five -letter word in six attempts or less. After each gamble, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:

• Vegetable: The letter is in the word and in the right place.
• Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong place.
• Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.

Use these instructions to limit your guesses. Every day brings a new word and everyone around the world tries to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play a competitive wordel against friends, family, the wormle bone or even against me, your modest narrator. See rules for competitive Wordel by the end of this message.

Wordel -analysis

Every day I check Wordel Bot to analyze my gambling game. You can check your Wordles with Wordel Bot here.

Stale was a bad opener today. Very bad luck. Only one yellow ‘e’ and 329 remaining solutions. Mound was not a very good follow-up, so I had no less than 51. Fortunately, the grief has cut it to just two: fiery and kefir. I felt that Fiery had already been a wordel (although I am not sure if this is true), so I went with Kefir. Fortunately for me, that was the Wordel!
