I have a really bad habit of typing without thinking with poo poo like this, so the second guess had letters which the first guess had already revealed to not be in the loving word I'm after.

I had done 5 wordles when it switched, after completion of the first puzzle on the new host it said I had a streak of 1 (should have been 6), then the next day it after completion it updated and said I had 6 (when it should then be 7) and now today it still says I have 6 when it should be 8. I assume at some point they are going to make people complaining about this "register an account to solve the issue".

Several days now I get trolled by carefully rearranging all my yellows multiple times and getting a big fat nothing out of it

Has the NYT modified the code yet? The full future word list is in plain text or some poo poo isn't it? A first step of taking over daily word selection doesn't seem particularly farfetched

I just did today's, and my whole streak is gone. I had like 10 or 11. And now back to one. Hopefully it fixes itself.

Plus it wasn't in dark mode anymore, I had to change it. Maybe they reset it today?

I just went back to it, and it didn't even count the one I *JUST* did 2 minutes ago.

Therefore :

I destroyed this too, but again I think it was beginner’s luck! I used the same starting working as for Wordle. flare which is probably suboptimal but generally seems to work well.

I meant to paste my Wordle, but that AI narrative text was in the clipoard. I'll leave it there.

I just started posting in this thread so sorry if this is an old topic, but do most of you stick with the same starting word, choose from a predetermined list or just wing it? I like to try to make up a new one each time. I know I've probably duplicated a few but it seems more fun to do it that way than go with a perfectly tested word every time.

I try to use a different word each day. For me that's part of the fun of it. Sometimes I'll see a five letter word when reading something and think hmm ... good starting word.

hard mode just makes you use all the letters that you've uncovered, it doesn't prevent you from reusing bad letters or stop you from putting a yellow somewhere it's already been

I wish it would, I've absentmindedly done both of those things while on hard mode

I'm extremely impatient for the first few guesses and routinely end up doing this and regretting it when I spend far longer on my final guesses out of fear of finally losing. It gets the heart going in the morning

There's a publicly accessible word list (that's also in order which would explain how a lot of people do better than a literal computer using the word bank and optimized guessing, which averages about 3.4 guesses), there are no plural words.

Plurals are still a good way to test out yellows and check for S at the same time.
