in the pursuit of getting it within 6, does anyone try a word they know cant be the answer just to see what it reveals?
Had to do this today. Third guess I was struggling to think of words, so dropped a letter that was in the wrong place, and used a letter i already knew was wrong.
That gave me 3rd and 4th letters but I couldnt think of anything that fit, so guessed a word that didnt use any of the correct letters just to narrow down some options.
That gave me the 5th letter as well, but I was still drawing a blank
Spoiler
Until I realised I hadnt been thinking about words that repeated a letter
