Taigi Wordle

Language Taiwanese and Hakka Corner

Just like wordle but you guess a 5 letter + tone Taigi POJ.

So, for example, THIAM or PHUI3.

I watched a video saying why the word CRANE is the best opening guess for the English Wordle. I tried to apply the same logic to come up with a Taigi equivalent, and the first time I tried it, I got this result:

My luck didn’t hold out. Don’t recall hearing that word, though I see it in the dictionary

I like the idea, and wanted to give a try but…

There’s a syllable list here

A dictionary:

Ha, my wife has informed me of another meaning I did see some hints of.

I’ve been getting words that could be potential swear words for the past 3 days.

I think if they included shorter words and used blanks it would be better.

How do you say, “What the hell?! Talk about beginner’s luck” in Taigi?

I honestly don’t know any Taiwanese beyond Chia pa boe, Thian bo and counting up to five. As you see, I don’t even know how to properly romanize it, but somehow I guessed the correct syllable and tone from my wildly lucky and random first guess :astonished: Time to buy a lottery ticket.

Since there’s no way on earth I’ll ever be able to do this again, I’ll leave this as my first and last attempt.

Who knows, you could get the next one in your first try.

This is yet another one that could be used as a part of a swear…
