I just started doing Wordle and have four 4s and three 3s. On the latest one, 1549, I got no Greens until clue 4: BYBBY YBBYY BYYYY GGGGG Question: To date I’ve not seen any doubled letter in the secret word. Is that generally the case? ---

> [@Gordon\_G](#): > > Question: To date I’ve not seen any doubled letter in the secret word. Is that generally the case? They happen often enough, but it would be easy for a small sample like yours to not find any. The most recent doubled letter, not including today obviously, was in Wordle 1533, ELATE. From Wordle 1517 to 1525, we had several: KNELL, LEVEL, MATTE, ISSUE, LLAMA, and RATTY all appeared in that 9-day stretch. ---
