I might use that if I couldn’t come up with any alternative, but otherwise it seems similar to a cheat code, for lack of a more friendly word.

Is it creating a cheat code for yourself to record the solutions of games you’ve played, and refer to that list? Because I’ve played almost all of them.

I knew that would create blowback, but couldn’t come up with a different word for it. If anyone is offended, I apologize. It’s a game, and I know that people obsess over games sometimes. I play it for the mental gymnastics it sometimes takes, but I don’t take it seriously enough to create a list or to refer to one.

I’ll be happy with bog standard if it means I don’t fail at guessing the word again. Like today. Four guesses is my average, and I’ll be happy with it, damnit,

I got super lucky with this one…even getting 4 yellows with my start word, there sure were a lot of words it could be. My second word told me exactly where that A and T went, as well as the terminal ER, which I hoped I was right about. And then I was down to just two choices…and how refreshing that I chose correctly this time. Makes up for yesterday’s hot mess of a game.

[Morgyn]

Thank you, @What_Exit, for amending my fault so quickly.

Neither do I - I do it for fun. And because why the hell not, you know?

The second word was supposed to be UNDER but my fat finger hit the wrong letter and hit enter before I realized. I have no idea what UNDEE is. (It looks like it may mean wavy in heraldry).
