Ouch, sorry. And you got yourself into one of those I hate where you miss a single letter either in front or at the back. I sincerely hate those. It's a little like panting yourself into a corner, although accidentally.gmax137 said:What do you mean, "we," Kemosabe?

More importantly, I finally hit a streak of 200 after … human error* … the last time I was closed. Pretty stoked about that considering I have two small kids at home.
* I knew the word but somehow managed to misspell it on guess 6. The streak was then at 194 …

Having 4 out of 5 letters in the seed sure helped. (I forgot to post yesterday.)

This is why I dislike ”hard mode”. Had I been playing in hard mode today my first guess would have made solving it a lottery. Instead I could make a guess designed to get more information, which left only three options. (The fact that I picked the correct option last of those is academic. It guaranteed success.)fresh_42 said:Wordle 878 X/6
