EARLY → OK, not bad… I think I’ll shoot for a load of comcons since I’ve already tried the A.
STERN → Placed the E, but no new consonants hit… but there are only so many places to try vowels, too. So if we can find where the R goes, and try a bunch of new consonants… I’ll try
WRECK → C is a nice pickup, it could pair well with an H at the start so CHE?R, looks like it’s time to double up

Third guess was lucky - it actually excluded so much that the answer was all that was left, according to Scoredle. I count about 16 non-BS possibles out of Scoredle’s 54, but I think I’d have finished in 5 even if my guess on 4 hadn’t hit.

Stupid, stupid mistake at four. I correctly surmised there were two E’s, then put one in an invalid spot. 
The valid choices were CHEER, DRYER, and FRYER, so a par was definitely a possibility had I been paying attention. And these days, a par is grounds to celebrate. I suck at this game lately.
I think it has been legitimately harder lately, and for a while now.
When I posted my scores from the last hundred games, I was all big talk about how the previous answers list was clearly bringing the scores way down. But now this current hundred answers, I’m getting crushed. I expect the next time I post my score breakdown, this hundred answers will be significantly worse than last time.
I agree. And for me, at least, there was a clear point that kicked off the more challenging period - Wordle 953, EMBER.
In the hundred games immediately preceding EMBER, I used 320 guesses, for an average of 3.20 per game. In the six weeks from EMBER through today, I’ve used 150 guesses in those 42 games, for an average of 3.57 per game. I’ve had six 5s in the past six weeks; I’d had only three of those in the previous hundred. I thought I was pretty hot shit at this game six weeks ago; this period has definitely taken me down a peg.
