What Just Happened?! - Wordle - Friday 05/08/26

Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:04]Hello, let's do Wordle for Friday, May 8th. Let's see what fruitful Friday starting word we're getting today.

[00:00:15]We get creep. Well, creep has four individual good letters, but we are repeating the E, so that might be a problem. But who knows, maybe it'll be a double E kind of day. Let's see what we got.

[00:00:26]All right, we're getting an R, but with no E, so we're not an ER word, that's good. Could be going stair, this stair, not ARE stair, but IAR stair.

[00:00:36]Let's try stair.

[00:00:38]Okay, we're getting an A, but we have not placed the R. Are we starting with the R? RA something? Rally? We could go rally.

[00:00:48]Do we want to try rally?

[00:00:50]I'm not sure about that. I don't know if I want to want a double on the L just yet. We could also be doing this.

[00:00:56]Actually, are there any other words that do that? I mean, there's a bunch of names that do that. Barry, Larry, stuff like that, but I don't know if there's any five-letter words, at least with the letters we have left, that do it.

[00:01:07]Hm.

[00:01:08]You know what? We could go barren.

[00:01:10]We could go barren. Let's try barren.

[00:01:13]Okay, we do have a B, interesting, but it's not going first.

[00:01:16]We still have not placed the R. We still have not placed the A.

[00:01:19]Roomba, like the dance?

[00:01:22]Would that work?

[00:01:24]I think it would work, cuz we have not tried the R first, we have not tried the A last. Let's try Roomba.

[00:01:32]What?

[00:01:33]>> [laughter] >> An anagram?

[00:01:35]What?

[00:01:37]So, the R has to go fourth.

[00:01:44]Wait up, what is this word?

[00:01:46]I have all the letters, what is this word? So, the R has to go here.

[00:01:51]The B has to go The B has to go second or third.

[00:02:03]Umbra?

[00:02:04]Is umbra a word?

[00:02:10]What is umbra?

[00:02:14]That is weird. Umbra.

[00:02:17]Definition.

[00:02:18]The umbra is the innermost darkest part of a shadow where a light source is completely blocked by an opaque object.

[00:02:24]Oh, huh.

[00:02:26]Okay.

[00:02:27]That is probably one of the most interesting games I've ever had.

[00:02:32]At least it didn't take a long time. All right, check the bot see how I did. All right, 92 skill 39 luck. Another uh average over four. Uh it seems like they're determined to make people lose this week.

[00:02:47]Which I thankfully have not done, although not for lack of trying. I probably should have lost a few days ago. All right, creep 81 skill 38 luck 232 words left. Clasp would have had 348 words left. What does clasp get from umbra? Nothing.

[00:03:00]All right, stare 87 skill 21 luck 31 words left where they would have gone roast which would have had 21 words left.

[00:03:08]It gets an R and an A from umbra, but they're not in the right spots.

[00:03:13]All right, baron 81 luck 81 skill 73 luck two words left which were roomba and umbra. Umbra umbra umbra umbra I'm guessing.

[00:03:21]They would have gone marry. Okay, there was a a r r y word marry. And then I lost a 50/50 here.

[00:03:29]>> [sighs] >> I can't remember the last time I did an anagram.

[00:03:32]It doesn't happen very often for me.

[00:03:35]All right, and then umbra umbra umbra I am I'm still not sure how it's pronounced. All right, the bot would have done it in four steps clasp tamer aroma umbra.

[00:03:45]All right, so many people that are losing today.

[00:03:48]And 1 1/2% 1 1/2% the average is very high, but I guess I once you get to the fifth or sixth guess, you don't have that many options left.

[00:03:59]Ultra, bura, zebra cobra, roomba, all right. And then a bunch of words that I don't know.

[00:04:06]Yeah, I'm not really. Urban, unarm, smart, supra, okay. Well, if you're enjoying the videos, please leave a like and subscribe and let me know how you did today.
