Took me 4 tries today, but I blame messing up my self-imposed Hard Mode.

Better luck tomorrow. :slight_smile:

Solved one in four and do not want to try again! :smiley:

1103

I got really unlucky with my first guess. Too many possibilities remaining.

Second time I have manage to get it in two. Of course it’s mostly luck, but it still feels good…

I also managed it in two today.

Decided to try starting with thick. Not the best day for it, as I ended up having to violate hard mode rules for my third guess.

I understand it now. Wordle is a covert research mission designed to uncover who uses light theme and who uses dark theme.

SHARD → Hmmm… probably another vowel, too. And already KOed some common consonants.
FABLE → Let’s try and get those vowels into place, and try a couple more consonants…
PENAL → So it’s gotta be PLEA?, I’ve used D but not T…
PLEAT

Over successive guesses, letters just started locking into position on this one.

It is odd how few of the posted results have no hits in the first try. You think this would happen quite often. In my worst result, six guesses, in my first two tries I only got one mild hit.
