So how many chances do you get in this game Barry?

5 or maybe, 6 attempts is my record.

Keep pushing the limits.

What a mess! I knew some connections but just the odd one threw me. Well done, ozzy

[barry1010]

Why did you give up, Clover?

[1ozzy]

I pride myself in being odd Clover, but what I don't understand is Barry had 7 chances, Jo had six and the game dumped you after 4.

Is it a case of make at least one connection and earn more chances?

[barry1010]

7 is the maximum amount of plays, Ozzy 

[1ozzy]

I don't believe Clover gave up Barry.

Maybe there's something about this game that both of us don't know.

Found this:

You win the game once you correctly guess the four groups of words. However, if you make four mistakes, you’ll lose the game, just as you will if you run out of guesses in Wordle.

So 3 mistakes and 1 connection resets the scoreboard?

[barry1010]

I'll try it in a different browser 

[barry1010]

I've just opened a new game and straight away there are four dots under the grid stating 'lives remaining'.

Game over when you make four wrong turns at any point in the game.

It doesn't reset if you make a correct connection 

[1ozzy]

So, stuff it up 4 times in a row and you get the boot.

But an occasional mistake gives at least 7 chances.

Ok, I'm still learning 

[barry1010]

It doesn't have to be four times in a row.  It's just four times. By my dodgy calculations that's a maximum of 7 attempts

[Cloverjo]

I'm still learning as well. I made 4 mistakes, so that was me gone

[JJ109]

I made 4 mistakes and that was me gone also!
