If you randomly pick 15 different letters, hoping to get one of 5 correct ones, the chance of not getting any is about 0.7%.

There's some bad strategy involved though imo, at the very least every vowel should be covered by the third word, or really the second if you didn't get any in the first.

I agree, I've always played it on hard even when I didn't know it was a mode - but one of the guys that I share results with doesn't, he will use the top two rows to eliminate/confirm 10 different letters, and will often finish 1 row before me. (Not today though, I beat him by a row).

Because if you guess the first 4 letters right off the bat you can have more then 5 possible word choices. So it may be an advantage to narrow it down by guessing a word that contains several of the possible letters.

That makes sense and I can see a few people itt doing just that. It must be one of those probability things that seems unlikely but actually happens all the time.
