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.
