My stubborn refusal to try a word starting with the eventual initial letter until the fourth guess sunk me; Scoredle OTOH figures out the first two letters with that super second guess, and when commenting on my guesses always says my best next guess starts with that initial. ---

Also, if you see the blurry stuff after the pic with all the green and yellow squares in most players’ posts, that’s their guesses, just blurred out. How you get that is, you type them in, select that text, then click on that little gear in the upper right corner and scroll down to β€œBlur Spoiler” and click on that. Then people can click on the blur to see your actual guesses, once they’ve solved the day’s Wordle on their own. ---
