Sometimes I'm suspicious that my methodology for regular mode could use improving when my hard mode method works better.

standard mode
Finally took the plunge and switched to actually playing in hard mode.
Having played over 1400 consecutive games and having never gotten a 7, this was a scary decision.
But I mock played the worst Wordle word ever, JOKER, and got it in 6, so here I am.
ps. Sorry I'm late, but the power went out minutes after I completed the game, so I went to bed.

As I'm sure I've mentioned, Wordle is a multi-dimensional game. The dimension of time has consumed half of the answers. And the human biased dimension has left us with a lopsided set of impending solutions.....sbrothy said:
