This one totally threw me for a loop idkw!? If they put a timer on it or had a limit on non word guesses I’d have been toast!
This one took me awhile.

I don’t normally resort to double letters so early, but I stared at this for a long time trying to come up with valid words. I was fairly confident that it was MOOSE, and then stared even longer after that was wrong. Frustrating for a bit, but then a satisfying light bulb moment.
Bit of an odd one for me today:
Wordle 244 5/6
Dropping all my strategy for first words these days and just going with the first five-letter word with no repeated letters that comes to mind. Went well today. I eliminated five letters! 
This one gave me trouble. For some reason I absolutely couldn’t see the answer and had to brute force it by looking at every single combination of remaining letters until a word appeared.

Some interesting statistics:
almost 3% (in the sample set) got “MOIST” on the first guess…

Same strategy, same result!
Interesting indeed.
I’ve played 24 current Wordles and have worked my way through 55 in the archive. My only loss so far was BOOBY.
Most likely to be spoiled would be my guess.

Getting it in four is pretty typical for me. The one time it took six is when I had the correct last four letters after three, but guesses four and five were incorrect. I accidentally got it right one time in two. I feel accomplished when I get it in three, but four is much more usual.

Another irritating one where a few words would fit and it was just a matter of going through them at random.

@Aspenglow, I think we usually start with the same word, IRATE. I’m curious to see how yours went.
A bit Freudian in the middle there.

I wanted to try more new letters on my fourth guess, but couldn’t come up with any other words. Good thing i didn’t think of SPILL. (SKILL was impossible.)
