I wasted too many attempts in the first 3. No room for "unlucky" towards the end.

Thanks! There are only 55 Wordle solutions possible that follow from your clue, so I found the one that had the highest probability of getting the most letters on the first guess. Kind of cheating. But still, I had only 1 in 55 chances of getting it right on the first guess. Whoop! Whoop!

This is why I find "hard" mode a bit silly. After the 3rd guess you are left to random chance whether or not you can solve it whereas you would have guessed something further away from the solution you would still have had ample of room to discard other letters. Therefore, making a guess close to the solution can be bad in "hard" mode which makes little sense to me. Getting close to the solution should be a good thing.Wrichik Basu said:Wordle 444 6/6*
