Or perhaps I just got lucky.

That's because, like me, they used a popular seed which had a 50-50 chance of getting it in two.

My starting word has been coming up with blanks the last few days. It would be nice to see some hits for a change.

I sequestered my prediction that you were going to get it in two as that might have clued you to chose one of those two other words first and get it in 1.

Have you considered octordle? You can do as many as you want in a day, eight of them at a time. It cured me of my "I can't wait" itch and involves a different strategy.

I had a look but it looked too confusing. I'll give it another try.
