OK, so now you're doing both?! You show-off you! :woot:

EDIT: Added hypen to "showoff" because of my "OCD". :wink:

EDIT2: Added a smiley to my first EDIT lest people think I'm making fun of the condition.... wait... I obviously haven't thought this through. No more EDITs though.

Did you destroy a mirror or something? Or maybe scatterbrained for other reasons? It's none of my business but I'm almost worried. It's not like you! :frown:

I think I'm getting a handle on hard mode. While some logic is backwards from regular play, other logic is the same.

Finally done with school for the year [and, more importantly, olympiads and AoC] , which means I can get back into my old habits like wordle and chatting on PF again :)

Interesting how if I hadn't been lucky with my 4th guess in standard mode, my hard mode score would have beat it.
It's also odd that the remaining number of words after my second guesses was the same, even though the four words only shared 4 letters out of 10.
Wordle is weird.
