Yes, me, too. I was surprised about the many others who apparently have chosen the right one for the first time. I didn't want to type that word even when I did.

Wordlebot seems a bit buggy today. It claims only 18 people have played so far. It averages about 340,000 by the time I play everyday.

And it says 11% got it on the first guess while no one got it on the second guess. I do not think those numbers are correct.

The solution today was also a word not in the original list.
