Wordle 988 4/6 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FFS! The dangers of going for a glorious two rather than a nailed on three...

With that method, you might still have a choice of anagrams and fail. Hard mode just introduces a greater element of chance.

You have to use letters that have come up yellow or green and the green ones have to stay in the same place. So if your original guess was the Wordle favourite SOARE and you got 🟩⬛🟩🟩🟩 In hard mode you would have to pick from H, T, P or C for the second letter but you wouldn't be able to change...

I have got the last six (including today's) in three. Yes, you need a bit of luck but not a huge amount. The only day I didn't get it in four or fewer over the past three weeks was when my wife got it in two and so I tried to beat her by guessing early and ended up with a five. Having said...

My link re-directed to the NYTimes this morning and re-set by stats. The bad news is that my streak is just 1, the good news is that my average is down to 3.0 Wordle 238 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Interesting first word. Do you always use that?

I make 12 possibles after Sight. Unless you are playing the hard version, you have a choice to make as to whether you want to try for a two or get an almost nailed on four and probable three. ELFIN will rule out four possibilities and has a good chance of giving you your missing letter for a...

Four today. Could have been three but that would have been a bit lucky as I didn't have the fourth letter after two goes and there were several more likely sounding words from the four letters I did have. Wordle 231 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟨🟩🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Average 3.84; streak 31
