My seed word today was the top scorer out of 35 possible words given the above

patterns, and yielded only one solution. I would have gotten it in four with my scheduled seed.

What was your seed word? I'm currently using AUREI. AUDIO is good too but despite the similarities I have much more luck with the former.

Again, I cheated today utilizing the last two lines from above
🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
to eliminate all but 640 possible solutions.
From there, the top ranked seed yielded only two possible solutions, and I chose the one with the higher overall seed rank.

Playing my scheduled seed would have given me the solution in 3 tries.

For game 706, my tainted seed word was SWORE*, and my scheduled seed word was CRANE.

*The game doesn't end for about 3 hours.
