I started playing Wordle on Jan. 8, although I forgot and missed several days since then.
So far I've played 16 games and lost once.
The number of guesses it took me each game so far were:
6, 6, 4, 4, 4, 5, (lost), 3, 5, 4, 3, 4, 4, 2, 2, 2.
My first few games, I played in hard mode ("Any revealed hints must be used in subsequent guesses") without realizing I was doing so.
Then I began to choose words with completely different letters for the first few guesses to more quickly reveal what letters the final word had.
When that began to feel easy, I went back to doing it the "harder" way. 3 days ago I switched it to "hard mode" in the Settings panel, as I was playing it that way anyway.
Those last 3 days' games seem odd to me. I guessed the word correctly on my 2nd try, three times in a row now. The first time I thought I was lucky. The 2nd time I thought I was very lucky. But now the 3rd time, it feels weird and suspicious. How can I be that lucky?
Based on the 2 or 3 letters I guessed right in my first guesses, several words could have fit. Yet I chose the right one each time, apparently.
