I could have had this in 2! Alas, I’ll take the 3.

A sloppy five. I was going too fast and assumed I had covered all the vowels. Should have put in a U at three, but didn’t realize it was still in play until the very end. :man_facepalming:

At the risk of complaining about everything, I must agree. I was the lucky 2 today, and it felt like the game was over before I even got started! My coffee is still hot, dammit!

BEING → Clean miss, but two vowels are gone…
STRAP → Common vowels gone, and not too many places to put that R… Tried to think of a word with both O & U here, but didn’t
SWORD → S?O?R, so I should have tried harder to think of a word with O & U

I coulda hadda three.

Start word checks out.

I know. And I’m so predictably boring. :slight_smile:

3747

Same here. My second word scored a zero(!) for skill. But I still got it in 3.

Admittedly, I picked my third word more for letters than as a guess. Apparently there were 9 possibilities when I chose it.

Getting it in two made my day. :slight_smile: I could only see two choices after my start word and took a gamble.

Getting it in two was great; taking 23 minutes to do so: less great. My initial word set up some stringent restrictions and I had real trouble coming up with any good guess words (while trying to adhere to Hard Mode rules).

This.

A graph with a string of guesses showing the same three green squares is obviously one of those words.
