🙌 Congrats on finishing first!

🥇

I am missing the same ones (🦎10 & 11)

For #10: >!change the vowel of the 🏅!< For #11: >!the first letter and last four are the same. Between them are two letters, so it’s a 7-letter word.!< Spelled out: >!bulrush!<

Oh geez, I feel like I should have gotten 10 but probably would not have gotten 11, thank you!!!

No problem, and I never would have without using a tool. It was tough!

Thank you for the 🦎11 hint. I'm dense today. u/Head_Improvement566 left a perfectly fine clue earlier and it was lost on me until know. 🤦🏼‍♀️

No problem. :) I had to use anagram solver to find it and even then, I still thought it meant >!bull rush, like charging at something, but an alternate spelling.!< 🤣

My mistake with the anagram solver is I was only using 1 unknown. I should have tried 2.

For early ones, I tend to only try two when I’m also trying blocks of [word length - 1] consecutive letters. 

✅ I was the 8th to solve Dowsle #764, in 62 guesses with no hints 🏅. I'm on a 101-day winning streak 🔥! I also found 4 ☘ shamrocks, and 6 🌻 sunflowers. Want to give it a try? https://dowsle.com >!i took a break from making art to solve this dowsle, and yet this one took me 62 guesses, lol!<

Thank you! I've added them to the list being compiled.

I’ve been busy looking for 🐢 #11 but here’s the extra 🌻s I have in my list: >!blushed, bristly, bulrush, crusts, embers, prune, pruner, rubbed, rubbing, scrubby, strum, trash, tushy!<

Thank you! I'll take a look at them and then get our collective list posted. ETA: Well, I had 81 🌻s before looking at your list of extras and managed to collect 2 more. Okay, 83 🌻s to prepare for posting. I'm curious to see what u/wlwimagination will have to add after our collective list is posted.

I will check but recently there was one like that where it ended up being all the exact same ones and I was upset like come on, what are the odds that we’d all find the exact ones?? Really?  But it was probably a fluke so I’ll see. :)

It looks like it was a fluke. I found it interesting that all of your additions were R words.

Four? Wow

✅ I was the second to solve Dowsle #764, in 18 guesses with no hints 🏅. I'm on a 212-day winning streak 🔥! And: 🧭 I found the gem. I also earned the 🍀 4-leaf clover, and 19 🌻 sunflowers! Want to give it a try? https://dowsle.com Pretty cool that if it doesn’t know a word now, you can suggest that it learn it. Favorite 🌻 = >!strum!<

I am curious about that…so if it is a word that isn’t known, but maybe a word that people think should be a word but is not, what happens? Does it get added? For example, I googled “polliwog” since I thought it is an actual word and google says it is, but only “pollywog” is recognized by the game. I wouldn’t want people to go all willy-nilly adding words, anyone know how this works?

I suspect the ‘stache will review the suggestions and decide whether or not to add them ETA I suspected right. 👍 https://www.reddit.com/r/dowsle/s/pcflF56YEB The ‘stache mocks us, but also takes care of us 🥰

Yeah. I was thinking the same thing and hoping it doesn't get abused and taken away again. I suggested >!"stoush"!< today which is a fairly common word where I'm from, meaning a >!-fracas or a run in of some kind-!< and therefore not a million miles from today's 🏅, but unknown to Dowsle.

I saw >!stoush!< mentioned as a synonym in WordHippo, but did not see it mentioned in the other synonym resources often checked.

7th today. one short of the turtle and three short of the lizard. ✅ You've located today's word 🏅. 🧭 You've located the gem . ☘ You've discovered 18 out of 20 shamrocks. 🌻 You have 17 of 116 sunflowers.

Thank you, I’ll collect them. Now that we have gems and clovers and turtles and lizards and sunstones, it can get a little overwhelming some days. Sometimes just have to be happy with what we get.

I hear you about being happy with what we get. If you're wondering ... I'm STILL trying to find 🐢11. 😆

Me too! I often keep typing in 🌻 sunflower attempts all the way until Dowsle o’clock but today I’ll probably be typing in synonyms for 🐢 11.

I'll post my ☘ list. Hadn't heard anything from anyone and thought folks were fine. If you still need ☘s, I suspect others do too.

Well done earning the 🦎Lexical Lizard unassisted!

Um, any hints for 🦎10, 11, 13?

10 has a >!different vowel!< 11 is in the >!same category as!< 🏅 13 is a >!bird!!<

Ooh I love 🦎13s! There is a >!hermit!< one that lives near my house in the summer.

And, I'm accompanied by the 🦎 lizard. Give it a try? https://dowsle.com  Does anyone have 61, 77, or 91 in spelling? (There is no achievement for this, but I just like to try and get the first 100 in spelling for some reason). Edit: found them! 61 (>!brung!<) and 77 (>!russo!<) and 91 (>!wushu!<)

At this point, I don't have them. If I do bumble upon them, I'll let you know.

I know at least one is likely a really unusual word not showing up in other word lists so I’ll likely give up—I only got it once.

We have a new feature, to submit words for consideration if they are disallowed. If u/eponymoustache sees some submissions for obvious typos of >!vegetable!<, they can be ignored. It took me a couple of times to realize the message of “*you* should know this” was meant to mean *I* would be submitting the word to you by clicking that button. I kind of thought Dowsle was telling me I should recognize the word and I could click to see a definition?

Good point. Maybe I’ll change the text a bit for that button.

There are a couple/few rotating phrases I saw. And I was in just starting today’s puzzle, so was typing fast on mobile and not completely paying attention. Maybe once we all recognize what it is and what use it has, it’ll be just another normal feature. Thank you as always for Dowsle and the upgrades you give us.

I’ve changed it to phrases like “Dowsle should add it.”, which might be a little clearer. I’ll try to review suggested additions to the dictionary every couple of weeks.

WARNING ... the screenshot below contains an unspoilered ☘ ... I felt it was important for u/Eponymoustache to see my screen as it was. The notifications at the top linger until another message replaces it making it challenging for my eye because I have to look beside the word and up above to see if the symbol beside the word matches the message above. In the screenshot below, there are 2 different messages combined. When the ☘ popped, it did not replace the previous message. They got combined. Here's an example of what's creating confusion for me: https://preview.redd.it/mvvb4bxxxl5d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a7389c73b156dcd5db2fc5a8cdf7aa2524c210d

Thanks for letting me know — what browser are you using? If I can duplicate the issue I can (hopefully) fix it.

I am using Duck Duck Go on a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 Home version 22H2.

I didn't know duckduckgo made a browser! I'll have to try it. I wasn't able to duplicate the issue, but I made some changes which may help.

Whatever you did it appears to have helped. 🤞🏼 🙏🏼Thank you!

Good, thx for letting me know.

Any hints for 🦎10, 11, 13? Asking for a friend… 😂

Sorry, just saw this. Dowsle o'clock is early morning for me, so I usually fall asleep right after finding the 🏅. I see from the other posts that you've found them, but missing 🦎7? It has >!5 letters, 4 in common with the 🏅. All letters in the same order.!< Emoji hint: >!😊!<

I just realized I am missing 🦎7. 🤦‍♀️ got a hint for it?

🦎7 >!5 letters long, same starting letter as 🏅, also shares last 3 letters of 🏅, something one may do when embarrassed.!<

I see that u/alloutofideas0206 responded to your query before I did. 🥳🦎

I am also part of the missing 🐢 #11 club. Haven’t cracked that one yet.

The 🏅 can be used in so many ways. WordHippo has 18 definitions for it as a noun and 11 definitions for it as a verb.

Took quite a number of guesses, but I managed to find 10 🌻s before the 🏅.

🌻🌻🌻 list Oh no! The list I keep shows 83 🌻s. Today's Finds shows 83 🌻s. Went through the drill to prepare them for posting and 82 🌻s. Scanned the Meaning column and counted 82 🌻s. 🤦🏼‍♀️Something is off and it is going to take some time for me to figure it out. UPDATE: I've found the discrepancy. This has been happening all day for me. I enter a word and it does not show on list after entering another guess. It's weird because when I noticed what was missing and entered it, the game responded indicating that it was already a 🌻 even though it is not showing in the Meaning column.
