I was woken by the cat at 3:30 am. Hard to get back to sleep at that time so I fired up Wordle:

Easy one today but could've gone better. I nearly tried a new word just to mix things up a bit (its crazy here), luckily I didn't

Had a go for the first time today - got it in 3. Is that really the thing everyone has been going on about?

Read something about it at the weekend as the antidote to binge culture. It's one a day, take a few mins to work out, good way to just take a break.

I think anything less than three is pure luck, three requires some genuine thought./excuses.

MOIST is a good start 5 of the 7 most common letters in English usage.

But this is a different version of Wordle which I'm finding more fun..

Read the help, as it changed the word each line based on letters you have guessed right for the last go.

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

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

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.
