Ok, I just started playing and have only done three so far. Funny but to me "hard" is equivalent to "logical" or the way that I would do it without a "hard" setting even being present. I have read one article where the person said they start with ADIEU and so I have been using that which makes sense to me.
Yeah - down in the thread I wrote how the "hard" mode is the way I play it anyhow - I haven't set it to that. I've found that two or three vowel words work well to start, if combined with the most common consonants.

Some players want to eliminate RSTLN AEIOU as quickly as possible, so they'll guess ADIEU then STROP or something like that no matter what, then try to get it on guess 3. If the first guess hits on some letters, the second might not hit any.
"Hard" mode requires you to use all yellow or greens on your next guess.

Just so I'm clear the idea is to get as many "hits" as possible on each guess to drive you to success so normally you would never see a situation where you would see less amount of "hits" on an individual guess.

Ok, so if I am reading this right your third attempt could have been more productive as you didn't try to figure out where the "yellow" letter's position (from your second guess) in the solution was because you didn't include it in your third guess? And in your fourth attempt you placed the letter from the second guess back in the same position or was that a different letter entirely that was part of the solution but in the wrong spot?

...in short, your guess #3 annoys me. And your fourth guess (potentially) annoys me more than your third guess.
Got it on the 2nd guess too - couldn't copy the results though. Gonna be a lot of plurals there I imagine, since most of the root words have four letters.
lol yeah it's a much smaller pool of 5-letter words.
