Basically Occam’s razor, no? Or is it reversed here? :)

Good that I don't play Poker. I would probably raise on gutshots far too often.

Well it's difficult to see if people have a tell online. A Derringer wouldn't even help. We'd have to hack each other. Good luck with that. :)

EDIT: I've disabled VSFTP and there's no SSH server. I dare you to pentest me! :P

Indeed. Still, it feels kinda unfulfilling. Even as if someone sent me a "message". :)

The message was ”don’t play ’hard mode’ it will make good guesses bad guesses” 😛

Hard mode keeps me from making those really stupid mistakes like putting a letter where it was already confirmed it didn't belong. It's a kinda pest or cholera choice...

This could have been hard mode. Today I got lucky because the target word happened to be the only possibility after my second guess which happened to be within hard mode rules..
