Tough one today. I was lucky to get it in 4. I will be amazed if anyone does better than that.

Got it in 3. Had three misplaced letters with my two starter words. The best I can explain without giving hints is I focused on the likely position of one of the letters I had, the other two fell into place, and the first word I could think of that fit, worked.

Got it in 3.

it was a tough word, but I was lucky in that I had a couple of letters that really only worked one way. But, it took me a while to figure it out.

Had the right letters in pos 2 & 3, only a few options for the first letter with what I had eliminated.

Sitting on a 98% win rate, 53 game streak out of 204 total played.

Well, this is an amazing group!

Obviously, a lot depends on your opening word(s).

I too am sitting on a 98% win rate, with 294 games played and a 97 game streak. I vary my first two words trying to eliminate possible vowels.

Some of my favorites 1st words…

Audio
Bayou
Ratio
Irate
House

Second word varies by what the first word uncovers.

Took 5 today and lucky to get it. Too many combinations for the letters I had in place.

My current streak hit 100 today.

Always a bit disconcerting to only have 1 letter after 2 guesses.
No yellows though
