theres a ‘hard mode’ too??

just checked, there is indeed. might try that tomorrow, anyone done that? how does it differ?

I haven't tried it but it just says that, "Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses." I can't see that making it massively harder, maybe just take a bit longer to work through possibilities.

I think it'd make it a lot harder! Sometimes if I've got say 2 yellows in the first row, I'll just put in another word using a lot of (different) common letters to try and get some more yellows or a green and then work from there.

Ha, I didn't realise that and have been doing it in "hard mode" without having it turned on.

Same. Confused now. Doesn’t using clues make it easier than not using clues?

Not using letters though you know they are in the word means you can test for the presence of more untested letters in a single go.

Once the puzzle is complete, you get an option to share. From there, it's simply copy from wordle and paste into here. No brackets or IMG links needed. For me, I have to click share, then scroll along and click "more" to get the copy option.

Tried the strategy of 3 totally different words for my first 3 guesses, which meant that I’d ruled in or out 15 letters by that point (on this occasion identifying all 5 letters meaning I just needed to solve an anagram for guess 4!)
Coming up with three words having all unique letters was actually harder than just solving the Wordle normally most days 😀

Previously assumed that if there were double letters then both would be shown as green. I’m laughing at how sweaty I got before making the final guess 😅
