Site is behaving strangely tonight - sort of bouncing or constantly reloading.

I canโt get into it. It keeps reloading yesterdayโs game.
I am doing this and having fun with it (in my own way, I guess), but without a time limit, one should never have anything less than a 5-star result, yes?
Solve all the words and minimize the swaps before doing the first swap.....(?)

No, I don't think a 5-star result is guaranteed to be possible achievable even if you know the words. For example, today had 5 green squares and 16 non-green. You have to move those 16 squares in 10 moves for a 5-star. If I have done may math correctly, that would require finding 5 double swaps (plus a sixth one, the last one, as a double swap on the last move is guaranteed).
The rules say all puzzles can be solved in 10 swaps. I've done all of the last 4 in 10 swaps.
