Dammit I believe there was only 3 possible words after my 1st and I guessed the wrong one. Was hoping for my first 2-fer. Would have had it if I used my second option for the first word.

I don't quite agree with the bolded part. Let's say we are playing each other and we each get 2 yellow tiles on our first word. You are forced to use them on your second word, you most likely get at least 1 right, and going into your 3rd word you know where 2 letters go at minimum. If I spend the second word eliminating letters, there's a good chance that I'm still not sure where those 2 letters go, so going into word 3 you have an advantage. I'm not saying that hard mode isn't harder on average over time, but for certain games it will give you an edge. A decision has been taken out of your hands and you are forced to guess the correct word for each move. Sometimes you will be right. If I'm simply eliminating letters, I can't be right. The result is that you have a better chance than I do at getting the answer in 2 or 3 words. Of course you also have a better chance of it taking you 5 or 6. So it depends on the game. I would also say that having a decision made for you and using a system takes some thinking out of the game.

Agreed, it all depends on what your personal goal is.

yay i won twice in a row in hard mode, today in only 3 guesses! They said "impressive" OH GOSH I'M SO FLATTERED, MAYBE I AM A GENIUS!!

Got this one in five (didn't save the share thing). Yet another total whiff on the first guess. Some close calls recently, but haven't missed any and only gone to the wire twice.

The problem with getting three of the letters right out of the gate sometimes is that you haven't eliminated much.

This was kinda weird. Took me a while to figure out any real words for 4th and 5th.

another close call.

EDIT: I left this first one up here because it's funny, apparently hitting copy/paste with your mouse does something very different from hitting Ctrl + v on your keyboard...

I don't know why, but pasting those in quick replies doesn't work. You need to "go advanced" or edit the post to properly paste those. Nothing to do with mouse vs keyboard.

Really feel like I could have done better today.

Dangerously close to going to five for the first time.

I tried to not get involved with Wordle alas curiosity got the best of me a couple days ago.

Uh oh, looks like you'll be at Wordle Anonymous shortly. You have do much to live for! You can get off the elevator at any time!

Correct, but I realized it quite a while back.

Agreed. It never occurred to me not to use the letters that come up correct. Which is hard mode.

Today was easy. I now have a 10 game winning streak, but have yet to solve on the 1st or 2nd tries. Several Twitter people yesterday said they got “mount” on the first try, which I find somewhat suspect.
