Oh no, I tried, trust me there are many ways of circumventing, but not many such that they won't realise I've circumvented their controls.
Either way, I don't spend much time on my phone anyway. It's basically just a ton of whatsapp. So it's not super annoying...

Maybe I should start playing wordle at midnight more often though!

Fair mistake. I've heard they're pretty hard to distinguish sometimes :)

That last guess was not lucky at all. Nope. Luck had nothing to do with it. Nothing to see here. Clear the thread. You do not have to go home but you can't stay here.

Yeah right? The magic often happens during the witching hours. People disagree on when precise they fall, I think it's safe to say somewhere between 00:00 and 04:00.

(Although to be honest that's also where I've made most of my scatterbrained failures. Nothing's perfect in this world.)

EDIT: Read "Sandman" though. It's not a comic. It's a "graphic novel"!

That was pretty annoying. I even consulted the letter frequency table but it did me no good.

From SIREN to LOVAT?
I found the letters left after ignoring the EN in the 14 eligible words and plugged them into my spreadsheet. It didn't come up with a very good number for the best pick(WOMEN:1.929) of the 14, so I found another 150 and it told me LOVAT:1.214 had the highest probability of minimizing the number of subsequent guesses.

A value of 1.000 in my spreadsheet tells me that the guess is ideal as it will identify the solution with that guess.
