Not as far as I know but you can play endlessly on hello wordl if you want.

you can play endlessly

I believe there are around 2000 words that can be the solution.

Was hoping this one would be hard enough to fill the time while my LFT brews:-

Although going to the 6th line give you a feeling you may not solve it it is unlikely you won't, given that you have used around 20 of the 26 letters and have a few that are in correct place by then the options left with the few letters no used before are pretty low.
Took me 6 today but I think only one word was an option by that time.

I think it's often less helpful to have a bunch in the right place because you eliminate fewer letters on each attempt. For example, imagine if the answer is SCONE and you go:
NUTTY
GIVEN
PHONE
DRONE
OZONE
ALONE

Those starting words are not great, but I'm sure there are more plausible sequences that would have the same pattern where there are more possible words than you have chances left.

Google.

I managed three this morning - but was lucky with my starting and second words (which I won't post just now as spoiler) but I am figuring out the best words to get the vowels nailed asap.

i can see what youre saying, but taking the above example tho, id say theyre poor choices of letters.
for starters i wouldnt choose a double letter in my starting word. or a 'v' or 'y' unless there was a good reason for it.

id far rather have correct letters than a greater choice. i think some words are just harder to pinpoint because of the different options in the first place. give me correct letters any time tho 😀

Those starting words are not great, but I’m sure there are more plausible sequences that would have the same pattern where there are more possible words than you have chances left.

Also (unless you're in Hard mode) there's nothing to stop you trying a completely unrelated word which doesn't even contain previously yellow or green letters, in order to identify or eliminate as many new letters as possible. I guess that's a valid strategy, otherwise Hard mode wouldn't be a thing, so I'll give it a go next time I get 2+ letters on the first guess!

That was just meant to illustrate that you can have combinations of correct letters that allow more words than you have chances left. I was worried today's one would end up like that.

Ah shit, I didn't need to see that.

I wish to be the first person to:

- solve 365 Wordles in a row
- Yet not to post that achievement on social media

Tricky one. I did a tually look at the spoiler but only after I'd thought of the word.

how do you cheat?

You could look for an online crossword solver, set it to find all 5-letter words, with the letter(s) you have in the correct place and it will give you a list of possible words. Not much help if you haven't established a letter though.

Got lucky
