You can also change your time zone (to where it is already past midnight) to preview play the next game.

See my post above. You can even skip to a day that hasn't arrived anywhere on Earth yet.

I suspect that would also clear my 'stats'.

Even just switching the time and date a few days ago screwed up my 'Current Streak' count.
Cheating, for me anyways, takes a lot of the fun out of the game.
Though I do use a certain 'cheat site' if I get desperate, so my guess distribution is in fact tainted beyond the 'one try' guess from the other day.

ps.

Zero cheating​

Minor cheating would be to find out how many 'answer' Wordle words are available after each guess.
Major cheating is looking at all those words.

For instance, after my first guess, my cheat site said there were 16 words available.
And after my second guess, there were only 2 words available.

I always check after I complete playing the game to see how well I did.

You think you can quit? I've heard it a million times
I played for awhile and then wanted to quit, but "just one more!"

To really kick it, download the java script and scroll thru to the list of candidate words. Once you read the list it is easy to quit. I am free.

I failed. I had the correct letters 2 to 5 with my third word but missed to guess the correct first one. 4 wrong guesses.

Had to take some help today. My vocabulary didn't have too many words, given the guesses I made.

Once again, there is a repetition.

Yes, that is my problem. I always figure out the complicated solutions first.

No, way simpler these are actual Wordle copy and pastes, helps to know the answer ahead of time though
