Not bad for blanking on my first two words, which contain the 7 most frequent consonants and the 3 most frequent vowels in Wordle solutions. Looks like this is the ninth time the Wordle solution would have blanked both my first two words, and I was actually playing that two-word starting combo for eight of those instances. The others: BUDDY, BUGGY, GIDDY, GUMMY, GUPPY, JIFFY, MUMMY, and VIVID. I don’t intentionally play hard mode, but I’ve decided to start starring the times I play in a manner consistent with hard mode. ---
