What a bad start!

Is it? Eliminating 9 letters in 2 guesses could be quite a good start, depending which letters they were.

Interestingly, I cheated to obtain the above, yet on post game analysis, had I not cheated, I would have had it in 3. Stupid karma!

Did we all make the same mistake?

In this case it was based on the pattern of your last two rows:


Sorting the list of words by the matching letters and eliminating all words that don't have a match eliminated 1700 out of the 2300 words in the list.

In the snippet below, ARDOR, ARMOR, and ARBOR match when you ignore the middle letter.
Matches are counted in column J. But I would eliminate ARDOR with a filter there so I have to reverse the logic in column K to capture all three, and then filter for '1'.

I also filter out the previously played words that I keep track of in column B. But that's just my standard computer augmentation that I use every day. This reduced this games possible solution words to 440.

The fact that I used the same seed word for both plays makes this an interesting puzzle. Why did reducing the list from 2300 to 440 words yield a worse result?

	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K
1	0​	a​	r​	r​	a​	y​	1​	aray​	1	1
2	241​	a​	r​	o​	m​	a​	1​	arma​	1	1
