Wordle 223 3/6*
On the method of starting with yesterday's word - yes, that adds a level of difficulty, but I think it's literally a level. That is, you start with yesterday's word, and depending on the results, you move to your usual initial or second starting word. From what I can tell, this will generally add one additional guess to your usual total, so you finish one guess behind what you would have if you just used your starting word. But the strategy would be the same, correct?
If you also turn on hard mode (which I do), your second guess may not be permissible.
For example, let's say your usual starting word is "DUMBO" (it probably isn't) and yesterday's answer was WATER (it wasn't). If you have hard mode turned on and guess WATER as your first guess today, and the T and E end up being yellow letters, then hard mode will not permit you to try DUMBO as your second guess because it does not contain T or E.
Yes, I see that, but I have 2 great starting words that incorporate all the vowels and allow for good variation in consonants, and I'm confident that, again generally that I could pick up from most carryover words and get to today's word in one more try. Guess I should try it and see, but I just started and right now am stuck on getting to final word in fewest tries
I may even skip today. Presumably that doesn't end my win streak statistic in the game.
Skip a day and you lose it. Confirmed. I was busy 2 days ago and my streak reset.I think it does. I have never "lost," but my win streak is listed as 13, and my total wins is 15. I skipped a day early on.
You did well going from 2 hits to 5! I had 4 and still guessed the wrong one!Wordle 224 3/6*
Finally got it in less than four. Lucky second guess based on the yellows in first. Only one other word I could think of for my third guess that used all the letters.
I agree for the most part. It doesn't add a full guess, because you may hit a letter or two using the previous day's word, so it wouldn't be a wasted guess. And even if you hit no letters, you've eliminated 5 letters (less if there was a double), which has some value. Anyway, I've stopped doing that and have gone back to trying to get the word in the fewest guesses.
