Official Cardle Thread

It's Cardle. It's like Wordle, but cars.

That's it. That's the post.

(I was 3/5 today. Tried to get too cute on my first guess)

I got it on the first try but I'm not clear on how we're reporting scores.

I think once you do a couple on the same device it starts giving you a wordle-style report.

Never played wordle. I like guessing cars though. 15 points

I got it on my 4th guess (floundered the year after taking two tries on make and model), for 6 points (which I think pertains to APEowner's confusion; are we comparing number of guesses or the score from the game?)

I got it on second try.  Was a few years off.  Neat game, will keep trying it out! 

Also, thanks! This is fun, and I look forward to torturing myself over stupid automotive brain fade daily!

Got it on my 2nd try.  Had the year and make correct.  Guessed the wrong model.

Is it the same car for everyone, each day?

affirmative. 

Seems like it doesn't like you typing it in?  Gotta choose the drop down?

In reply to Mr_Asa :

Yeah, Initially I was going to guess the sister version of this car but it wasn't available in the dropdown.

Is it cheating in wordle to look up potential words? Is it cheating here to look up car potential cars?... Or does it have to purely be from memory?

Edit: Nevermind. Reading through the rules again to see I missed the +/-2 (5 total) year range acceptance, in addition to only having drop downs to work from and them giving you something concrete to work from that gets easier with each attempt, I'm going with 'memory only'. So my "1st* attempt" gets an asterisk and I'll try again tomorrow without performance enhancement.

In reply to Driven5 :

Once I knew the year and make I looked up models to make sure I knew what was available. Mainly cause it didn't like me spelling it, though.  I would have had it in two guesses, not three

First try. Score reported is 15. 

I will need to bookmark this at home so I can try it regularly.

First try. Though I DID notice something. They don't actually have the version I THOUGHT it was as an available model- or i would have gotten it wrong.

Always get those two models mixed up.

Cool! Thanks.

That was fun, and not just because of my score. ;)

Nailed it on the first try EXCEPT, I must have accidentally clicked on the model below the one I meant to click on. Which meant I got year and make right but not model, and I didn't try that model at all because I thought I had already tried it. Then it gave me the answer and I was like - OHhhhhh dang. that's what I thought I hit.

Score: 9

The model selections in the drop down seem to have a LOT of holes.
