Finally took the plunge and switched to actually playing in hard mode.
Having played over 1400 consecutive games and having never gotten a 7, this was a scary decision.
But I mock played the worst Wordle word ever, JOKER, and got it in 6, so here I am.:oldsurprised:

ps. Sorry I'm late, but the power went out minutes after I completed the game, so I went to bed.

I think maybe I should use the list of already used words. At this point it hardly constitutes cheating anymore....

As I'm sure I've mentioned, Wordle is a multi-dimensional game. The dimension of time has consumed half of the answers. And the human biased dimension has left us with a lopsided set of impending solutions.....

On my third attempt there was only one word left that fit.
