BIPM (IIRC the source correctly) recommends the use of a space rather than a comma (used in North America) or a period (used in Europe) to avoid confusion. That may be the reason it was developed that way in the software.

My point was that the software seems to be using a comma for everyone except me ... unless everybody else inserts a comma by hand.

Also known as a fourth guess?

Nah, what would have been my third guess had I followed my gut feeling was the correct. Instead I entered a different word for my third guess and only then entered what I thought of first as the fourth guess.

Drat! That was the first word that popped into my mind after two guesses! After some thinking I decided to go for another third guess …

I had the same issue, only after my first guess. So I had two second guesses, lol

I guess we should not …. Second guess … ourselves

We are not inserting the comma. In fact, I avoid using the comma as a separator because it causes confusion for Europeans (and South Americans if IIRC).

Evidently the software has been modified for use in your region, but not others. It probably goes back to its origins before the NYT buyout.

Ahhh... I see. You had a second third guess, not a fourth guess.

Yes. I had to look up my second guess after I made it. I had no idea. :P

I guess that's what you call a very heuristic MO (and yes I know that's putting it in very flattering terms).

Wow. According to Wordlebot, ≈1 in 7 people failed to solve todays puzzle. This is the worst failure rate since I started keeping track of such things.

I can see why. At guess 2 I matched 3 out of 5 letters. Then at guess 3 I was fortunate to find a word that eliminated 4 out of the 5 remaining possibilities.

I strongly suspect many people playing do not have the idea of making a purely informational guess clear. It is in some ways counter intuitive and it may be very tempting to play self imposed hard mode even if that option is not selected.

Today’s word also being particularly vulnerable to hard mode …

A penny for your process (or how the saying goes...). Your third guess intrigues me.

EDIT: I'm being rhetorical.

Then it must be my labyrinthine "heuristic" MO which saves me. :)

EDIT: Oh, and by labyrinthine I mean "meanderingly chaotic".

I will reconstruct and post the process after 48 hrs to make sure that I don't spoil today's puzzle for anyone.

You may deposit your penny, in bitcoin of course, in my Nigerian prince account. I will send details by PM.

Do we get six tries to guess your account number?

We can do better. You give me your account number and your bank's routing number and I will point out which numbers in yours match mine in the same place until you get them all. I will give you as many guesses as you need.

Quite the change from the previous game. Wordlebot says about 1 in 9 got it in 2.
Interestingly, the solution was not in my list of legitimate answers, though a cheat site listed it. Not only that, but Wordlebot says there were 4 more legitimate answers, while my database showed zero, and the cheat site only listed the 1.

Based on my standard first guess, I don't think I could have gotten it in 2 even if I would have tried (I also have a standard second guess, which I use unless the first is particularly informative).

However, this:

was effectively this:

so kind of hard to miss the third guess.

(And now people should be able to figure out my standard guesses ...)

I see what you mean. My second guess was the only one in my database of about 2300 words and I was surprised when it wasn't correct. I then went to the extended database of 13,000 words and found a total of 4 words that match the pattern in my first entry.

Also, I will delay posting my process for solving yesterday's puzzle because I used the same seed word today. Knowledge of that might spoil it for others considering that it contains four of the five letters in today's word.

 

[OmCheeto]

(And now people should be able to figure out my standard guesses ...)

From your patterns, I came up with 3 possible words for your first guess: SAUCY, SATIN, & SANDY, and 1 for your second guess: IDLER.

I currently have 14 seed words, so I think it would be nearly impossible to deduce any of them. Even with the 4 out of 5 letters from todays game, I can come up with 10 possible words.

 

[Orodruin]

The first is one of those three. The second is incorrect (it is not necessarily a possible solution).

Edit: Hint: After the two first guesses I have covered all vowels and a number of common consonants.
