Of course I had the plural hint (which actually makes it a little weird that I just automatically started with my usual word!). Still. Should have known it was physics-related. Duh! :P

Guessing now that we all know the game, this should be really easy:

OK. Not bad. Thought I'd made it harder with a lot of similar vocals. I guess with the right initial guess that can be a weakness as well.

EDIT: Not that your initial guess gave that much away, just a thought.

There is also an online word game called pilfer. You can play against friends or play against a bot. I am an old guy who plays to get my word skills back after an episode of aphasia. https://www.merriam-webster.com/games/pilfer

We all know you have to say that. You get “lucky” suspiciously often. (By which I mean you’re good at this, not insinuating you’re cheating. Just making that clear!)

⬛⬛🟩⬛🟨 [CLASH] 2 left - THANK WHARF
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 [THANK] The other word was just ugly. This one gives a much more positive feeling!

I've been reusing the same seed word for a while now as it seems to give good results. When I have the time, I wish to make a proper selection of my seed word based on probability rather than randomness.

First word that popped into my head after the seed and a filter word. Of course I had to have faith in it!

According to my spreadsheet, we are halfway through the game.
Of course, the are still deleting and adding words, so the halfway point is a bit dynamic, but I thought I'd mention it anyways.

Interesting. For the last 50 games, of the 'augmented' players, I'm in last place.

This is biased though. I am certainly not first as I do not post every day but play every day (my streak is at 521). I am more likely to post if I get a good result or if the solution itself has something I consider mildly interesting (today had both!), otherwise I might just not care enough to post.

I'm sorry, are you gathering my personal information - without my consent - to do data analysis about God knows what? :)):eek::nb)

I feel naked. :blushing:

If anybody cares, here are my cumulative data since I started playing. I intend to use the same seed word in the future, so once I got a "hole in one", I don't expect another.
1727445549114.png

I also started recording the percentage of words already used and my mean when about 44% of the words was already used. That plot (shown below) indicated a steady improvement. The last (differently colored) point is today's mean value. I expect a steeper slope as the percent of used words increases. Please don't call me a geek! I didn't put error bars on the plot, did I?
