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! http

Well I guess me and @Aidan B and @Peromyscus use the same starting code. BRDL 50 ????

GRRRRR!!!!!! I had used 4 of my guesses and figured out 2 of the letters when the game locked up on me and I had to start over again. Already knowing the second letter of the code and getting a third letter on my second guess the second time around, I had the first three letters of the code in the right place by my 3rd guess. I couldn't figure out the last letter so I used brute force until something fit, but it wasn't the right fit. More brute force on my 5th guess solved the puzzle but I didn't know what it was so I left BRDL to look it up. When I returned to BRDL, the puzzle reloaded AGAIN. Since I hadn't copied my results to share them, I was forced to play the same puzzle a third time. GRRRRR!!!!

Edit- AM I the only one that thinks this is kind of stretching things? What's next, banding codes for unknown birds? After all, those are on the list too.:classic_wacko:

This bird doesn't seem to be referenced in iBird.  Not the first time this has happened, nor the 2nd, nor the 3rd etc, Most often it's when the bird is some rare off-coast migrant, or a Hawaiian endemic, though.  This one, according to Wikipedia, isn't all that rare, in the Southwest and in Mexico.  Never heard of it, myself.  I don't know where BRDL gets its codes to choose from, but I do have to use the full world list to solve it sometimes.

I was using a list given by BRDL, but then there have been many birds that the used a different code than the list, or the bird was not one it. 

This list @lonestranger found seems to have everything they have used so far, but I have only used it for a few days.

I couldn't find it in my usual references but I did find it on this list, and it's not what I originally thought it was.
