Could also be an elementary particle.

If it wasn't mathematical nonsense, I'd say: "Once again an example of how dense English is in the set of all possible words."

I’d say most people would just use the first three letters for that one nowadays.

EDIT: This one made me kinda proud.

EDIT2: As I've metioned before. To get it in 2 is lucky. 3 is deductive, and lucky :) )

See, this is what you cannot do in ”hard mode” and resulted in this death sentence:

See, this is what you cannot do in ”hard mode” and reaulted in this death sentence:

In the end, it is a matter of someone's specific personal risk aversion function. E.g. I value the experience of a lost attempt (damn, I could have gotten it in less) as more negative than a lost attempt by risking it.

There is no one strategy fits all, since everybody has a different risk aversion function $\mu(\sigma ).$

That’s fine. My beef with ”hard mode” is that it removes the choice. You cannot make the choice of risking it or not. In particular when you happen to make what should a priori be a good guess it can actually lock you into a situation where you cannot guarantee solving it even if you have 4 correct letters early on. That is what is absurd about the hard mode rules in my mind. Getting 4 correct on the opening guess should be a ”Great!”, not an ”oh crap!”

 

[gmax137]

I self-impose hard mode rules on myself, but when I get to third guess:
AUDIO
EARTH
HATCH
and think through the possibilities:
BATCH, CATCH, LATCH, MATCH, PATCH, WATCH
then i think the "hard" thing to do is narrow those down as efficiently as possible, so my fourth guess bypasses "hard mode":
BALMY which I know is wrong, but...it leaves only one of those six choices.

BALMY which I know is wrong, but...it leaves only one of those six choices.

BLIMP would have been guaranteed to narrow it down to at most two CATCH/WATCH. All others would have been resolved.
