Very unfair! I had 4 letters correctly placed on go 2, but still ran out of goes for the remaining one!

I hate it when that happens. I recently blew a 151 day streak for the same reason. Actually I got lucky today and found it in four.

Using only wit, guile, and sheer determination, I got in in three.

Do you play so that your guesses must have a chance of being correct? Or would you use guesses to eliminate possibilities, like prove and miked for the pesky fourth letter?

I play in "hard mode" which forces you to use prior info in subsequent guesses (hard mode would not let you make those guesses).

and of course I was quite lucky today as my 2nd guess got me letters 3, 4 and 5 correctly placed.

Indeed. I do too, but very occasionally you do run into a situation with more possibilities than remaining guesses. I think removing that constraint means it’s always solvable in six guesses

Same here Buddy re the second guess, perhaps we used the same opening.

Have any of you tried Wafflegame? Quite fun.

I would wager a pound (or a dollar) that you both started with ADIEU. A fool and his money ...

Your pound is safe, Quisling. I can’t speak for the dollar…
