I was so confused why it didn't give me the victory at first because it turns out you need to guess both Lycanroc forms.

I had the same thing happen to me! Never seen that before

How many Pokémon are there like that which are just two forms of the same thing but the only difference between them in terms of information is the name? Seems like it would be pretty rare.

Also, I'm curious what everyone uses as their first word in Reactle or first Pokémon in Squirdle. For Reactle I'm currently just using "sweat" but for Squirdle I don't really have any particular thing I use yet.

Gotta love when your brain just forgets English and can't notice the most obvious word for the answer out of the remaining letters you have.

Had no idea what it was until it gave the most obvious image for the fifth guess.

Happy I got the right answer in three since I had two choices left for what it could be and I got anxiety I was gonna pick the wrong one. XD

[Mr EliteL]

I don't really have a go-to word for Reactle/Wordle but as long as at least four letters eliminate/find a common letter (AEIOLNRTS) I'll use it. U is also considered somewhat common by Scrabble with it being worth 1 point, but there's only 4 of the letter in the game so I rule it out in Reactle until A or O is confirmed, then it's possible. The reason I've been trying to shoe-in an uncommon letter is to take it out early or in hope to find it early so I don't have to attempt different consonants later on, like I did when I used STRAY first Y was confirmed.

Squirdle...I just go for whatever really. Actually I'll go for Pokémon that I am more familiar with first although not Gen 1 now as if it's wrong, you have the rest of the other Generations to pick from, so I try between Gen 2 (Johto), Gen 5 (Unova) and Gen 8 (Galar).

Guess The Game #394 6/6

Should've got it at 4. Literally anyone can get the game at 6, but damn Metacritic gave it that score? Thought it would've been higher.

Didn't take me just 3 guesses, was trialling others but they kept being too tall when I needed to get lower than my first, and as I got practically the same for my second guess too as I forgot to check the height which was the same as the first Pokémon, but whatever.

Took five guesses this time. I hate that I could've got it on the second guess if I had picked the correct entry.

Wasn't too bad getting any of these today. For Squirdle I decided to start with Gen 5 since it's about halfway and would make it easier to tell if I need to go up or down compared to using a high/low gen number.

[Mr EliteL]

First time doing a same day as someone else. Haven't looked at what you put or got yet, just immediately went to the pages to do them, let's see what I get....

GuessTheGame #404 4/6

I sorta cheated as only knew two others of that type of genre on the platform, one image made me think it was Excitebike 64 (way off) from the helmet in the placing icon, but had to look up other games once the platform hint was given. Initially thought I was looking at Koopa Beach in the first image, dang it. Should've let it skip to 6 though.

Darn knew I should've went that Gen first, dang it. Asked myself at first to go there but nah just went with a random Water Pokémon. Could've got it sooner if I did. >.< Ah well. Also fourth guess narrowed it down to two from the height, although one was far heavier so I knew which one.

Nice, I shall try some soon but not today to avoid doing the same as someone else each time. 

Although for that Squirdle I'd never get because what the actual F is that? That's one Pokémon I've not heard of.

Yeah, I hadn't heard of it either but that's probably because it's a Gen 9 Pokémon. I only got it because I had narrowed the pool down enough for it to be one of the only choices left to me for an answer.
Having looked at it for the first time just now I will say it looks pretty cool though.

Was a great find of the two letters in the first guess. Then, I completely forgot what the colour of the found letters meant and just kept trying the same letter at the end, while also leaving out the second letter in the first guess out of my second guess, then once I realise what I was doing wrong I got it straight away, dang it.

Dang this one was tough for me. Took until Guess 5 to even begin to get something to work with, and then my brain forgot all English trying to figure out the actual answer for my last guess especially as I had very few decent letters left to work with.

I screwed this one right up, first guess was fine, second guess was to eliminate types but then I went back to the wrong type in my first guess instead of the right type for a few times without realising what I was doing, which made me have to go by weight and height alone for the remaining two guesses I had left, then got it down to two for my last guess, but if I went with one of them first I would've found the right one, because the guess before was both lighter and taller than them. Boo.
