Last couple of plays i've used a strategy where I just use the same three words to start with (using all five vowels and ten different conconants) irrespective of what hits I get. It obviously makes it impossible to get the words quickly, but it seems to work okay so far, and today I nailed the word immediately with a bit of an educated guess.

Also, it's possible to unofficially play through the archive of old puzzles here:

https://www.devangthakkar.com/wordle_archive/

I've probably played through about 40 of them, and the only one that's tripped me up so far was due to American spelling a couple of days ago. FAVOR :sigh:

Am I right in thinking you can only do one a day? How am I supposed to get my fix? I'm already shaking.

I linked the unofficial archive above:

Might be worth adding it to the op?

What does it do with repeat letters?

like if the word was BUTTS

and you used a T

I'm guessing there is just no indication?

There's no indication if you don't use the letter twice, no. If the word is BUTTS and you start with TABLE, it will highlight the T as yellow and you'd have no way of knowing that the word had two Ts. If you use the letter twice in the word, though, then it will treat the letters as normally, as if they were two different letters. If you try the word TITAN, for example, the first T will be yellow, the second will be green. If you try the word GREET, but the real word is TABLE, then only one of the Es will be shown as yellow, the other in grey.

My 3-word strategy pays off again. I think I'm going to try it with hard mode next time, though, where you have to use any correct guesses in the new word.

Wordle 3 is bullshit.

How the gently caress is that a word? I got lucky as hell that I narrowed down the last letter to two options and a random guess that I also wasn't sure was a word turned out to give me four of the letters. Even then I tried literally every other letter for the first letter before it accepted a valid word, which of course was the answer. Just loving stupid, but I got it, so whatever.

It's in the dictionary, so the creator might have just initially set the program to choose random words from the dictionary before changing that policy when they realised that it might result in a few too many quasi-words like this:

To make it a bit more challenging, my new policy is that my first word has to be the first five-letter word I see on my google news feed and I have to do it on hard mode.The first word I saw today was, ironically, the word 'first'. I was lucky I chose 'proud' as my third word, otherwise I might have been in a bit of trouble. I can see a few people getting stumped by today's word.

By my count there's 7 possible words left once you're missing only the 4th letter. It's basically just luck at that point.

Namely: shade, shake, shale, shame, shape, share, shave

wtf, how? I got it in 73 guesses and thought that was relatively decent considering the topic. Did I miss something obvious?

I always use the first five-letter word I see on my google news feed as my first word, and today that was helpful for once.
