If I hadn't looked, how would I know it was boring?

Just not boring enough for you to keep on “taking a look”

Anyway I got it in 3 today 😜

Well, that took an unexpected twist. I spent 10 minutes trying to avoid using a certain letter but couldn't come up with an alternative so took the plunge.

Same. Bad start but had the first three with one guess left. Thought I had it, wasn’t expecting that!

Exactly the same for me, first 3 and just couldn't think of the right word, didn't even cross my mind.

Once I get 2 or 3 letters in the right position, I immediately write them down on a piece of paper.

I find it helps when I look at a word in "writing".

Yeah, I had PRO and looking at the letters I’d eliminated I felt sure it must be PROWL. Wasted a guess before that thinking the O might be a double and guessed PROOF.

Didn’t even consider PROXY as I kind of glossed over the X and Y. Most annoying!

fuck yes, in 3.

I used a word that I had seen posted a lot ADIEU as a start word.

I feel the game designer listened and deliberately put in zero letters for ADIEU

got lucky with my next letters

If nothing comes up for ADIEU, then you know there is almost certainly both an O (think Alan said there was only one 5 letter word without A,E,I, O or U) and a Y, so it's actually pretty useful when that happens.

That's why I like to use words containing completely different letters for the first couple of tries.

You already knew after your first try that the first 3 letters were right. So you had 21 letters left and you only need to find 2. Doing it the way you have, you were eliminating 2 letters at a time but if you had picked a completely different word using your remaining letters, you are eliminating 5 letters and possibly being told 1 or 2 of them are correct.

He may have it on ‘hard’ mode. I have it on hard mode and you have to use correct letters from previous guesses in same position.

Is the same letter ever used twice?

Got it in 4 today, quite chuffed as all I had until the third attempt was one letter in the wrong place.
