Not exactly brilliant. I even consulted the English letter frequency table. Luckily I didn't heed it as I was about to guess MOUND at the end but changed my mind at the last moment.

Ouch! And not even in hard mode.
My suggestion to everyone, when one see's the
⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
pattern of Wordle doom, start off with the seed word of 'CRWTH'.
It's a Welsh word for a stringed instrument. [ref]
It might not save you every time, but in this case, you'd have gotten it in two.
(or maybe 3, if you're a bit daft)

[edit: oops! Ok. You'd have gotten it in two in 'augmented mode'.... So sue me.]

I needed a good filter word, instead of doing it one letter and one word at a time .

It actually accepts that word?! No vocals but I can see it can come in handy in some situations.

EDIT: Oh sorry, quoted the wrong person.
