Avery Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Just heard about this. It’s a bird version of Wordle, something I’ve never played, but I just tried it and it’s fun! This version uses Banding codes for US birds, with a new puzzle everyday! https://brdl.alex.gd 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like that, but with banding codes. Egg means wrong entirely, feather means right letter wrong place, bird means right letter right place. I haven't played this one yet, but I do Wordle every day, because games like that are right up my alley!

No, I have not played Mastermind, I have never played any type of online games before, except for a deal @akandula posted once. I am just as confused as before, so you just randomly start typing letters and then try to come up with codes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Every guess needs to be a valid banding code. Green (bird head) means the letter is in the right place, yellow (feather) means it’s the right letter but in the wrong place. Gray (egg) letters means they are not part of the solution.

Think it needs to be my daily start given the success so far I used that same guess on BRDL #1. And had 2 letters right and a 3rd in the wrong position. That was another 2-liner. I'm noting the daily answers so I don't use them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you start by entering a random banding code into the first line. The letters are colour coded after you hit enter to indicate which letters are right, wrong, and close. Deductive skills are used to determine which letters belong, and where they belong, and then that knowledge can be applied to subsequent guesses. Learning which letters are not in the code can be just as helpful as learning which letters are in the code so don't get discouraged if your first or second guess doesn't reveal anything useful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall it being small enough that a couple of friends would bring it to school and we'd play at lunch. Mind you, that memory isn't enough to make me give this game or its word predecessor a shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
